The information and samples used in this note are kindly contributed by Borut Lunder of Slovenia. The code and necessary files are in the downloads directory.

The TabStrip control allows you to format a screen with tabs across the top. Tapping each tab brings up a different screen.

The ImageList control allows you to place an icon on the tabs of the TabStrip control.
