    Hello,

    I haven’t been able to find a way to reinstate or manage hidden tabs, so I have been trying to prevent users from hiding or close tabs.

    However in some scenario, the Hide button (x on the top right) keeps popping out. This is my configuration:

    
    <c1:C1DockControl AllowDrop="False" >
    	<c1:C1DockGroup DockMode="Docked">
    		<c1:C1DockTabControl DockMode="Docked" Dock="Bottom" TabItemClose="None" CanUserHide="False" CanUserDock="True" CanUserSlide="False" CanUserFloat="True" CanUserReorder="False">
    			<c1:C1DockTabItem Header="Main1" TabShape="Sloped" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False" >
    			...
    			</c1:C1DockTabItem>
    			<c1:C1DockTabItem Header="Main2" TabShape="Sloped" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False">
    				<c1:C1DockControl AllowDrop="True">
    					<c1:C1DockTabControl DockMode="Docked" Dock="Bottom" TabItemClose="None" CanUserHide="False" CanUserDock="True" CanUserSlide="False" CanUserFloat="True" CanUserReorder="False">
    						<c1:C1DockTabItem Header="Tab1" TabShape="Sloped" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False">
    						...
    						</c1:C1DockTabItem>
    						<c1:C1DockTabItem Header="Tab2" TabShape="Sloped" CanUserClose="False" CanUserPin="False">
    						...
    						</c1:C1DockTabItem>
    					</c1:C1DockTabControl>
    				</c1:C1DockControl>
    			</c1:C1DockTabItem>
    		</c1:C1DockTabControl>
    	</c1:C1DockGroup>
    </c1:C1DockControl>
    
    

    Is there anything I could do to prevent users from hiding or closing tabs?

    Hello,

    Upon primary testing for your code, I did not find a scenario where the Hide button popped up. However, there is one another way you can do it.

    Deactivate: ```

    var setter = (Setter)_tab1.Style.Setters.Where(x => “Template”.Equals(((Setter)x).Property.Name)).FirstOrDefault();

    var controlTemplate = (ControlTemplate)setter.Value;

    var button = (Button)controlTemplate.FindName(“HiddenButton”, _tab1);

    if (button == null)

    return;

    button.IsEnabled = false; //if you want to show but disable it

    button.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed; //if you do not want to even show it

    That might work.

    Is there any way to show again hidden tabs?

    Hi,

    Yes, I have included the code for re-activation as well in the attached application. Please refer the attachment shared earlier.
