how to get a tabbed view like VS2005

Bit of a newbie on C# and .Net

I have an object with a List< 'things'- each thing can be displayed in its
own a control window.

What I would like is a tab-view as in Excel where the users can
add/delete/rename a new Sheet

I've had a play with the standard tab-control but the UI on VS2005 doesn't
seem to use this

Is there a better way?

Many thanks for any feedback

All the best

I haven't done it myself but the tab control would have the same
functionality, it acts like a tab. The only difference is appearance.

Look up custom tab controls on google, no doubt they inherit from the
standard control and then override the onPaint method and draw it their own
custom way.

Search in sourceforge.net, there is one library for vs2005 like functionality
- I have forgotten its name but its name is related to dockable windows. You
may also try codeproject.com. Above mentioned library is many times
referenced there also.
