Ok. I see what you mean.
Workarounds:
1) When you create TabControl and add tabs, they are sized correctly. Store
the difference beween TabControl.ClientRectangle.Height and
TabPage1.ClientRectangle.Height. This would be your adjustment value
2) The height of the "dangling" part of the tab (label) can be retireved by
sending TCM_GETITEMRECT message to the control
3) The conversion between the inner and outer rectangle of the tab can be
done by sending TCM_ADJUSTRECT. Pass 0 as WParam to convert
TabControl.ClientRectangle to TabPage.Bounds (this is wrong by a few pixels
for some reason. not sure why)
