Disable tabs using script

[z178]

Is there a way to disable tabs in a tab control and enable them if a certain condition is met?

No.*

If you want something like this, use separate layouts instead of tab controls. The navigation scripts can than provide the necessary control.

*Well, the answer is Yes if you use the faux-tab hack.

I believe in version 9 you can disable tab switching by setting the borders to transparent and the tab width to 0. Then the only way to switch the tab panels is by Go to Object[]. If you do this in a script, you can also set any conditions you want.
