SSTab Control

I'm using an SSTab control. I could determine the number of rows tabs by:
1) Calculate the width of the necessary tabs using the length of the longest string to go into a tab....
2) Then caluculate the number of necessary rows based on the number of tabs...
3) And then set the size of the other controls based on the necessary rows of tabs....
(I think, it's a working theory anyway.)
But does anyone know of an easier way of going about it?

With the ssTab I don't think it matters the length of the longest string as the tooltip will show the complete string on mouse over the string. You need to set your tabs as per the tab title so that one can read each title.
