A "tab control" is analogous to the dividers in a notebook or the labeled folders in a file cabinet. Use the tab control, represented by class CTabCtrl, to show multiple pages of information or controls to a user, one at a time, in a format that suggests a peer or logical relationship between each page.
For more information on tab controls, see Tab Controls in the Windows SDK.
