Resolved [2008 Express] TabControl or other?

[littlebigman]

Hello

I need to use a tab control to display different sections of the application, and I noticed that the Express IDE offers a TabControl. From experience, MS controls aren't always very good because MS expects third-party to provide better controls.

Based on your experience, would you say the stock TabControl is good enough for professional applications, or should I look at alternatives, either open- or closed-source, and if that's the case, which would you recommend?

Thank you.

Functionality the Framework's TabControl works just fine, if you're looking to skin it (change colors, etc) then you can easily do the custom drawing as .Net allows for all kinds of things like that to be done. Or you could find a 3rd party control that does what you need, or you could even build your own tab control from scratch if you want to as well.

It's really all up to you, but functionality wise the FW's TabControl is great though not skinnable via Properties.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot then.
