Check out ppASCtrl.pas, the method
TppSimpleSearchPanel.EditControlKeyUpEvent
You can modify the source code or you need to create your search panel
classes. For an example see RBuilder\Demos\AutoSearch\Custom AutoSearch
The TppDesigner.Notebook property provides access to the TPageControl. Try
something like
myDesigner.Pages[0].TabVisible := True/False
