How to: Add and Remove Tabs with the Windows Forms TabControl Using the Designer
When you place a TabControl control on your form, it contains two tabs by default. You can add or remove tabs using the designer.
The following procedure requires a Windows Application project with a form containing a TabControl control. For information about setting up such a project, see How to: Create a New Windows Forms Application Project and How to: Add Controls to Windows Forms.
