Comments

The AddTab function adds a new tab to a tab control. The new tab will be added as the last tab.

The tab control creates a copy of the string supplied.

The WM_SETREDRAW Windows message can be used to suppress the tab control from being redrawn when many tabs are added.

Tabs can be deleted using DeleteTab. New tabs can be inserted at a specific location using InsertTab.
