Each page of a tab control should behave just like a pane does.
This means it should be possible to put splitter bars on a tab page.
This way one could build real nice front panels that look good when resizing, even when using tab controls.
At the moment I always have to decide: Do I need several tabs or is it important to be able to resize the panel?
There is no way to have both at the same time
(OK, there is one way - but I know much better ways to spend my time than programming all those pixel calculations to resize every control programmatically )
Here is a quick scetch of a dialog front panel that could be improved very much by using splitter bars and "fit control to pane":
Look what happens when the panel is resized: It's a big waste of space that could be put to a better use by extending the tree.
