Show tab in EditPanel only when page is published.
Vote:

I want to make a tab in the EditPanel that only shows upp when the current page is published. Is that possible? Is it also possible to just show a tab when a specific propery on the page is set (similar to how the Form data-tab for the native Form type behaves)?

After some testing I found out that I can do it in this way. Is it a correct way to do it? To get info of the current pag I inherit from UserControlBase, is that the way to go?

[GuiPlugIn(DisplayName="Test", Description="Test Tab", Area=PlugInArea.EditPanel, Url="~/test.ascx")]
public class TestTab : UserControlBase, ICustomPlugInLoader
{
#region ICustomPlugInLoader Members
public PlugInDescriptor[] List()
{
PlugInDescriptor pid = null;
if(this.CurrentPage.CheckPublishedStatus(PagePublishedStatus.Published))
pid = new PlugInDescriptor(1,"TestTab","TestProject");
return new PlugInDescriptor[] {pid};
}
#endregion
public PropertyNewsletter()
{
this.Visible = false;
}
}

Correct, but make sure you don't return a array with null values.
Check out this source file in the SDK zip for how the forms data tab handles this interface:
