      this->tabPage1 = gcnew TabPage;
      this->tabControl1->Controls->Add( tabPage1 );
      this->tabControl1->Location = Point(25,25);
      this->tabControl1->Size = System::Drawing::Size( 250, 250 );
      this->tabControl1->ShowToolTips = true;
      this->tabPage1->Text = "myTabPage1";
      
      // Creates a string showing the Text value for tabPage1. 
      // Then assigns the string to ToolTipText.  
      this->tabPage1->ToolTipText = tabPage1->ToString();
      this->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size( 300, 300 );
      this->Controls->Add( tabControl1 );
