This is a tab control based on previous control SSTabEx.
This new control keeps backward compatibility with the original SSTab that came with VB6 and is mostly backward compatible also with SSTabEx, although some properties have changed.
It introduces the flat style and several properties related to it.
It also adds many new features not only related to flat style, for example:
Soft tab transitions (see TabTransition property, thanks LeandroA).
Icons from fonts (thanks Shagratt).
Tab dragging to another position (see CanReorderTabs property).
Tabbed Document Interface mode (see TDIMode property).
Since it has now many properties, it is hard to remember how to configure something specific that we like, so it introduces the feature of "Themes". Themes are property presets that primarily define appearance but also some behavior.
They can be stored as a file, optionally in the registry and in the control properties. If offers several themes by default but you can add your own ones.
There is a Themes property that exposes the Themes collection, and a Theme property where you can set one by its name.
Documentation online.
