Removing tabs in tabcontrol and using designated buttons to switch between tabs - vb.net

I'm currently working on an application for Windows, however, I have one small problem: I can't seem to figure this one out...
Is there a way to remove the tab headers from tab control and designate other buttons to switch between tabs? I'm going for a more modern look and the default tabs in tab control are not at all what I'm interested in.

thanks for your answers on this question!
I've just thought of a different method to keep the clean look of my program without having to get too complicated with code.
For anyone wondering about this, you could set different buttons to hide and show different things, for example:
Under homeBtn you could have code that shows the information shown on the page by default, yet at the same time, you could also hide any information from the previous tab.
Thanks, Laugh

You can easily add buttons setting the property SelectedIndex on the tab control to switch the pages. To hide the tab headers, there are some ideas over here.

One custom toolbar for multiple layouts in FileMaker Pro

I have a complex Filemaker database with multiple tables and layouts. What I would like to do is to add a toolbar to each layout. This, of course in view of maintainability of my database solution.
Of course, I could create a nice row of buttons (for example in the header of the layout) and copy past this to each separate layout. However, this is not really a great solution from a maintenance pont of view (if you want to change something you need to do so multiple times).
So... is there another way?
I am looking for something similar to e.g., include in php:
<?php
include 'header.php';
?>
Is there such a thing?
Not really. It could be achieved, mostly, with a bit of extra work. There is nothing out of the box, although you might find some samples on the web.
The closest thing in FileMaker is button bar with styles. Even this will not auto-update by default across different layouts.
You can use a webviewer based on a global field.
Another solution for older versionsis to use a portal with records creating buttons and a script which will do staff depending in which row button is clicked.
I am using a Navigation Window which may be recalled by either a push button which should be on each layout (you have not to change it because it only recall the Navigation Window) and/or a Script (I use to put it at the first place, as CMD-1).
Of course, you need to manage that the Navigation Window has to be closed before the navigation and execution of the Script managed by your Toolbar while, at the other side, you may add every other navigation need ;-)

SQL Developer tab issue

So dumb question here, but its driving me insane!:
In SQL developer I often accidentally drag and drop opened 'tabs' from time to time and this then adds it to a different part of the screen so you can see multiple tabs open at once. Great if you do it on purpose, not so easy to undo if by accident.
When i try to 'grab' the 'tab' and place it back where it was it doesn't let me and just drops the tab to a different part of the screen and rearranges everything else in the process.
I currently have to close the tab, find whatever i was viewing again, and open it when my other tab list is open. Hopefully that all makes sense :)
So is there not an easy way to just put the tab back in the previous pane?
I've actually had this question for months now, and ironically the same day I posted this question i accidentally stumbled upon the answer. You grab the tab, drag it over the active file in another pane you wish to add it too, and when the full square shows(centered) over the active tab you drop it.
Another way to place all of the tabs back into the same window is to right click on any tab and select the "Collapse Tab Groups" option (see image below). This will put all of the tabs back into the same window.
However if you wish to reorder the tabs within the same window you must use the way that #TheJavaBeast said by dragging it to the center.
Just wanted to add this for more information!

How do you dynamically change the navGrid toolbar icons in jqgrid?

I currently have a a pretty standard jqgrid that I would like to change the navGrid icons dynamically. The grid shows some standard data with limited navGrid icons (like search) but if you log in to the site it will allow you do add, edit, etc. So I would like to turn on/off certain icons under certain situations. I have not been able to find any way to do this.
Look at the demo which I made for the answer. Another demo from the answer shows one how to disable/enable buttons from the navigator bar instead of show/hide there. I think it's what you can do.

How to disable autocompleet intellisence when pressing spacebar in vb.net

While creating test in vb.net i found it pretty annoying when you start typing and autocompleet changes a class to something similar looking even it is a class you don't want.
Image to illustrate :
In the picture you can see I am trying to setup a controller (this controller does not exist at the moment) so when i press the spacebar i will get DienstControllerFacts.
How do you disable this sort of auto-correction?
I can't see your image, but I think this gives you some keyboard shortcuts for dealing with your issue, and this shows you how to modify the settings.
Did you tried to selecting Common tab instead of All tab in the intellisense window?
