Enquery about Tab Control

hi, i'm a newbie to visual c++ and needs some expert guidance :)
i am adding controls to a dialog using control toolbars, but when i try to use drag and put the Tab Control onto my dialog, i discover that it actually gave me 5 tabs and i can't find way to change that.
i would like to

1) Change the number of tab to 3 instead of 5
2) Instead of tag being name "Tag 1", "Tag 2", "Tag 3", how can i set the name to like eg. "Graphs", "Forms", "Values"?

Any help would be greatly appreciate. Thanks.

Tab control is shown by such way in dialog template. Actually it doesn't have tabs, they should be added programmatically. Add class member fot this tab control (for example, m_tab_ctrl) and add the following lines to OnIntiDialog:

m_tab_ctrl.InsertItem(0, "Item 0");
m_tab_ctrl.InsertItem(1, "Item 1");

Now the control has 2 tabs.

Ic. Thanks Alex, i now get the idea of the Tag control having to be program. But i still don't get what you meant by
1) "Add class member fot this tab control (for example, m_tab_ctrl)"

2) "add the following lines to OnIntiDialog:
m_tab_ctrl.InsertItem(0, "Item 0");
m_tab_ctrl.InsertItem(1, "Item 1");"

erm, can you explain more on 1)?
About 2), do you mean adding both those lines in the
e.g.
/* BOOL CFYPDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
CDialog::OnInitDialog();
*/ ?

Thanks again.
