I have just started to look at the TabControl, so here are some easy questions for you :-)
1. The TabControl seems to work as expected, on its own. So what is the TabControlPAGE for ?
2. Can I put a label on the tab so that it will appear on every tab?

Hey Chris,
1. I'm not sure what all the benefits of the TabControlPage (I know they are useful for background images), but one benefit that will help with your question #2 is:
2. You can use the SetParent API to move controls from one TabControlPage to another when the tab changes...One caveat - this won't work with the Label control since it is a windowless (no Hwnd property) control. You can however print your text to a PictureBox (or put a label on a PictureBox) and move that control to other TabControlPages. Here's a sample:

If you want to use controls such as checkbox and label that support transparency you will need the TabControlPage to make that work, particularly when using Office2007 styles.
