Not nearly as simple, but I have found the best way to work with tab
panels in a reliable way is to construct them on-the-fly using
ContainerControls.
That way, you're only really working with one container at a time. The
trick here becomes how to "link" everything together so that you can
actually "access" the controls on each tab. I have some ideas for this
too, such as you can create accessor methods, or a single method that
returns a given control based on a name.
The GUI editor in RB is pretty unpredictable at times.

I just spent 5 hours laying out a very complex Window with a TabPanel
control that has 8 tabs. I noticed some of the controls weren't showing
up on the first tabs layed out so I closed and reopened RB. Now just
about all the controls are on the first tab.
Needless to say, after 5 tedious hours of work, I'm ready to hit something.
I don't even know how to report this bug because I don't begin to know
how to reproduce it.
I like RB, I really do, but every once in a while I get hit with a bug
that causes me to lose work and I want to scream. I wish RS would freeze
all feature additions and changes for one year, and just...fix...bugs!!!!
In fact, I would pay double my normal subscription if I were promised
the year's worth of releases would contain only bug fixes, and all RS
developer efforts would be focused on such for one year. On both my
Windows and Mac subscriptions.
Sorry...just had to vent....
