Ok what I am working is creating a tabpage at run time, I ahve a class that inherits tabpage class and when I call, it creates a new tabpage and add it to the tabControl, My codes are as:

Class CreatenewTab : Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabPage
'Some implementation here
end Class

and I created a new instance of it here:

Dim n As New CreatenewTab()
Form1.tabPage.TabPages.Add(n) 'tabPage is a tabControl present in Form1
n.getwebpage.Dock = DockStyle.Fill n.getwebpage.Parent = n
n.getwebpage.Show()
n.Text = n.getUrl
n.Show()
n.Select()
n.Focus()

This is a sub that creates a new tab, now I have two questions:
-How can I add a close button in every new tab as the one available in VS tabs or Mozilla?
- How to make a new created tab to be selected and top? I have tried .show(), .Select() and .Focus() but nothing happens. What I mean is when you click on add new Tab, like in Browser a new tab is created and is selected for use(become top)

For making the new tab on top you can use the SelectedTab property of the TabControl.

Just assign the new TabPage to the property

        Dim tp As New TabPage
        TabCtrl.TabPages.Add(tp) ''''TabCtrl is the TabControl
        TabCtrl.SelectedTab = tp

Here are some links for close button

I'd have to recommend looking at Thomas Maxwell's IE7 clone - it's got a great tabcontrol with close buttons & the possibility of images on the tabcontrol too.

Ok thanks I got something useful to start.
@ Jack Eagles1: I got this if it is what you meant, thanks. If not please tell me for the link

That's it, but having just looked more closely at the project, the actual source of the tabcontrol isn't Thomas Maxwell's IE clone, it's here:

Thanks, it is the same idea of what I was trying to do, something like browser
