c# Hide tabpages in foreach loop

Question

I want to hide all pages in a tab control (except 1), but my obvious guess does not work and I can't find anything else.

I try:

foreach (TabPage page in myTabControl.TabPages)
    {
        ...
        page.PageVisible = false;    //Compile error here
    }

'System.Windows.Forms.TabPage' does not contain a definition for 'PageVisible' and no extension method 'PageVisible' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Forms.TabPage' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

You have to remove it from the tab pages collection, Tab pages don't have a visibility property as you found out. — Ron Beyer, Jun 01 '15 at 14:21

Read the [documentaion](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y6e1ah1k(v=vs.110).aspx) for `TabPage.Visible`. It states _"To hide a tab in a TabControl, you must remove it from the control's TabPages collection."_ — juharr, Jun 01 '15 at 14:27

You have to remove the page to hide it and re-add it to make it visible once more. Please see How to hide TabPage from TabControl
