Help with TabControl

[Guest]

I have converted a VB6 program to Visual Basic 2005 (Running on Windows XP).
I have a TabControl with (2) tabs with left side alignment. My problem;
with 2005 the Tab Captions (Text) does not show (the tabs are there but no
text). If the Tabs are aligned on the Top, there is no problem. My work
area is constrained on the form; therefore Top Alignment is not possible.
The TabControl will work correctly with Windows Vista regardless of the
alignment, but this program must run with Windows XP. Anybody know a work
around?

1. Turn off Visual Styles for the TabControl. Use SetWindowTheme via
interop to achieve this.

2. Draw the Tabs yourself, to correct the issue.

3. Use TabControlEx instead:
