      4. Add the TapStrip -TapStrip1 Properties:
        The TabStrip control is like the dividers in a notebook or the labels on a group of file folders. By using a TabStrip control, you can define multiple pages for the same area of a window or dialog box in your application.
        Remarks
        :
        The control consists of one or more Tab objects in a Tabs collection. At both design time and run time, you can affect the Tab object's appearance by setting properties. You can also add and remove tabs using the Properties Page of the TabStrip control at design time, or add and remove Tab objects at run time using methods.
        The Style property determines whether the TabStrip control looks like push buttons (Buttons) or notebook tabs (Tabs). At design time when you put a TabStrip control on a form, it has one notebook tab. If the Style property is set to tabTabs, then there will be a border around the TabStrip control's internal area. When the Style property is set to tabButtons, no border is displayed around the internal area of the control, however, that area still exists.
        To set the overall size of the TabStrip control, use its drag handles and/or set the Top, Left, Height, and Width properties. Based on the control's overall size at run time, Visual Basic automatically determines the size and position of the internal area and returns the Client-coordinate properties – ClientLeft, ClientTop, ClientHeight, and ClientWidth. The MultiRow property determines whether the control can have more than one row of tabs, the TabWidthStyle property determines the appearance of each row, and, if TabWidthStyle is set to tabFixed, you can use the TabFixedHeight and TabFixedWidth properties to set the same height and width for all tabs in the TabStrip control.
