To add a control programmatically

• Use the Add method of the collection returned by the Controls property of TabPage:

  ' Assuming that TabControl1 exists and has at least one tab page
  ' Add a button to the first tab page
  TabPage1.Controls.Add(New Button())
  

  // Assuming that tabControl1 exists and has at least one tab page
  // Add a button to the first tab page
  tabPage1.Controls.Add(new Button());
  

  // Assuming that tabControl1 exists and has at least one tab page
  // Add a button to the first tab page
  tabPage1.get_Controls().Add(new Button());
  

  // Assuming that tabControl1 exists and has at least one tab page
  // Add a button to the first tab page
  tabPage1->Controls->Add(gcnew Button());
