Maximum Number Of Controls On A Tab Control

Is there a "best practice" maximum number of controls that can be
loaded on to a tab control before things start getting messy and
sluggish? I'm asking for a "best practice" maximum number across all
tabs and not the maximum number that is theoretically possible.

I figure that trying to add lots of controls to lots of tabs must
affect performance at some point.

Any help is appreciated.

There is a maimum number of controls on a Form. Not sure about a TabControl.

Think of it this way. A TabControl is just a handy way of toggling the
visibility of a bunch of controls all at the same time. It likely has almost no
affect on performance at all. Certainly not any that I have been able to
perceive.

In some applications tab controls contain subforms. If things get
sluggish I typically only set the SourceObject once the user hits that
particular tab.

Otherwise: YMMV. Do some tests and see what your users' tolerance
level is.
