What I did for my client was to give them stacked tabs, instead of horizontal tabs... <br />
<br />
The following is how the horizontal tab looks<br />
[tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] <br />
<br />
The stacked tabs look like this<br />
<br />
[tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] <br />
&nbsp; [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] [tab] 
</div>

I don't know if your scenario permits this, but what I did was to use the concept of 'Most-used tabs'. &nbsp;I store the most used tabs in the database, and order the tabs accordingly so that the user does not have to keep switching tabs.

Thank you both for responding, your insights were wonderful.<br />
Firstly, my issue is not with the &quot;user experience&quot;. &nbsp; I will be turning on and off the &quot;visibile&quot; property of tabs to control the number of tabs actually used in a user session. &nbsp; The issue at hand is that I will be placing Infragistics WinGrids, etc. on these tabs and so the form class has gotten out-of-hand. &nbsp; It is the developer experience that I am concerned with, trying to encapsulate the compoinents and operational capabilities related to the subject of the tab onto a seperable tab object.<br />
<br />
Secondly, as the Infragistics UltraTab itself is not (to the best of my knowledge) an item that you can pull from the VS toolbox, I cannot make it part of a user control.<br />
<br />
My current thoughts are to create a seperate form containing an Infragistics UltraTabControl and a single Tab. &nbsp; This can be manipulated seperately as I am seeking. &nbsp; My experiment will be if I can then reference the tab in the seperate UltraTabControl and use it in the UltraTabControl.TabPages.A<wbr />dd method of the base UltraTabControl.<br />
<br />
Your thoughts on this approach are certainly welcome.<br />

I have written an application with a tabbed interface based upon the Infragistics UltraWinTabControl. &nbsp; Due to the large number of tabs, the form on which the TabControl has been placed has gotten HUGE.<br />
Is there a way to develop the UltraTab pages independently of each other (even being able to place components onto the tabPage using the Visual Studio designer) and then adding them to the Tab Control either programatically or through the designer?

Independent Classes for Infragistics WinTabControl Pages

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Development in most programming languages is frequently done with an editor or integrated development environment (IDE). An IDE is a software application that provide comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development. An IDE normally consists of a source code editor, build automation tools and a debugger. XCode, Visual Studio, Adobe Dreamweaver and Eclipse are some of the more popular development tools, but an editor or IDE can be anything from simple text editors to sophisticated programs.
