        this.tabControl1 = new TabControl();
        this.tabPage1 = new TabPage("myTabPage");

        this.tabControl1.TabPages.Add(tabPage1);
        this.tabControl1.ShowToolTips = true;
        this.tabControl1.Location = new Point(25, 25);
        this.tabControl1.Size = new Size(250, 250);

        this.tabPage1.ToolTipText = "TabIndex = " +
            
            // Gets the tabPage1 TabIndex value from the tabControl1 controls collection.
            // Converts the tabPage1 TabIndex value to a string.
            (tabControl1.TabPages.IndexOf(tabPage1)).ToString();
