Remarks

The Add method is an overloaded method. This Add method of the Tabs collection receives a Key and the UltraTab.Text of the new tab both passed as strings. The text and the key may be assigned the same string. The tab will be added to the end of the Tabs collection. You should be careful not to add a tab that has the same key as a tab that already exists.

UltraTabControlBase.Tabs.Add("myKey", "myText")

Example
The following sample code illustrates how to add tabs.

    ' there is an '&' in a tab's text, the following character
