Tab Control Problems in Beta 2

Yes, I found that out after I had posted a bug report too. I had searched and not found that particular report(guess I didn't use the correct search words) and figured I had better make a bug report. You are right, it doesn't appear that it will be fixed anytime soon. If they are not going to fix it, then at the very least, they should disable the option to have the Tabs anywhere other than along the top.
In the response MS posted, they said that it didn't work if Visual Styles was enabled. Well, in my testing, it doesn't work wheather Visual Styles is enabled or not.

It seems this bug is still included in the non-beta version as well. However, Change the tab's style to 'Button' and the text shows up, but it looks absolutely terrible. It seems that the programmers at microsoft are more interested in getting their products out there rather than insuring that they actually work. This of course makes it impossible to make applications with the "look and feel" of professional microsoft programs, which they themselves defined. In the meantime, since MS doesn't seem to be working on fixing this fairly major problem, maybe someone out there who is really good could make a stable, fixed version of this component to replace it?

I am hoping that there will be a fix in the first Service Pack. Otherwise, it will be as you say, and someone else will make a replacement TabControl. Other than that, I have been pretty impressed with VB2005 overall.
