Hallo Wolfgang, This will not be possible without writing some java code.
You will need to extend either the dialog class or the class of some control included in the dialog. Let's assume in your case that "Tools" is a dialog-tab. In this case, a possible solution might be: - you could extend the dialog class, and override the addSub() method. - in the addSub() method you can check the parent content: something like: String sex = PropertyUtil.getString(getStorageNode().getParent(), "sex") - then you can decide just not to add the "tools" tab if the string is "male". Hope that makes sense!

But it seems I did not clearly describe my problem... or I did not understand you :-) I want to access a page's property from a dialog. So the component's dialog shall know what properties the pageNode has.
