Show tab in EditPanel only when page is published.

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: sdk\source\EPiServer\edit\FormPostings.ascx.cs
