Can tab pages in a tab control can be individually enabled or disabled?
In my project developed using VB.NET 2005 there is a tab control with 4 tab pages. I need to call a method which will enable/disable those tab pages according the some boolean values referring to each tab page. For example if boolean value 1 is true the tab page 1 is enabled and users can operate it.
I tried this on code but there's no Enabled property for tab pages. So is it possible in an alternative way? If it's possible how?

Answer Wiki:
I don't know of a way to disable tabs, but you could remove them from the tab pages collection and add them back as needed.
Something like this:
<pre> 'Store the tab in a variable before removing it
some_page = TabControl1.TabPages(0)
'Remove it
TabControl1.TabPages.Remove(TabControl1.TabPages(0))</pre>
<pre> 'Insert the tab into the collection. This will insert it into the first position
'If the tab order is not important, you could use the Add method instead
TabControl1.TabPages.Insert(0, some_page)</pre>
