 You can display text in the tab header by setting
the TabCaption property.
You can place an ampersand (&) in front of a character in the tab caption
to create a mnemonic access key that lets users type Alt and the character to
make that tab the active tab.
The text can also be aligned top, bottom, center, and left, right center.

You can have the tabs in the Tab control display a bitmap, icon, or metafile
within the tab. If the picture you choose is smaller than the area in which it
will be displayed, the picture is tiled in the tabs.

 |
| Pictures in this control are only tiled within the client area, not in the tab
header. |
