How to hide worksheet tabs using XlsIO in WinForms?

Syncfusion .NET Excel library supports hiding worksheet tabs by disabling the DisplayWorkbookTabs property available under the IWorkbook interface.

The required worksheet tab can be selected through the DisplayedTab property of IWorkbook.

The following complete code snippet explains this:

using (ExcelEngine excelEngine = new ExcelEngine())
{
    IApplication application = excelEngine.Excel;
    application.DefaultVersion = ExcelVersion.Excel2016;
    IWorkbook workbook = application.Workbooks.Create(5);
    workbook.Worksheets[0].Range["A1:A10"].Text = "Sheet1";
    workbook.Worksheets[1].Range["A1:A10"].Text = "Sheet2";
    workbook.Worksheets[2].Range["A1:A10"].Text = "Sheet3";
    workbook.Worksheets[3].Range["A1:A10"].Text = "Sheet4";
    workbook.Worksheets[4].Range["A1:A10"].Text = "Sheet5";
 
    // Hide the tab
    workbook.DisplayWorkbookTabs = false;
    // Set the display tab
    workbook.DisplayedTab = 3;
 
    workbook.SaveAs("Output.xlsx");
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Output.xlsx");
}
