You can actually add it via the properties /

TabPages: (collection)[...]

Then just add tabpages.

Oh yes, The System.Windows.Forms.TabControl.TabPages.Add(...) method doesn't have an overload where a lone string is accepted. /:

It does actually. /

However, the tabpage won't have the same look as the other tabpages.

[php]
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(New TabPage With {.Text = "MPGH", .BackColor = Color.White})
[/php]

Will give it the same look as a default TabPage.

You probably know this, but thers wont, so let me help anyone who doesnt with this statement - the tabs in Chrome are just a visual representation of the different rednerer instances that you have. They're not stored or have other controls - it's just a way to help humans understand and use the software - hidden tabs are not rendered, saving both CPU time and memory. IE COM controls in TabControls, however, DO render web pages, web when not shown in the active TabPage. Thus, TabControls (System.Windows.Forms.TabControl) isn't exactly the best way to make a browser.

Well you see, you're passing a new TabControl parameter there, not a string as was done in the post I had quoted above. (mobile mode now)

I swear I posted a perfect solution to this before. Search please.

Yeah, I vaguely remember Veneet's article, IE8 has a similar setup.
In general it is how browsers work.

Sometimes though the more practical solution is the best for a developer.

Make a custom user control, thats it. You can add as many things as you want with your own choice of layout and stuff. If you need help regarding custom control, feel free to ask.
