Excel Multi tab control in vb?

[alkatran]

I'm looking for a control that can display tabs on the side of a multi tab.

The tabbed dialog control and tab strips are not what I'm looking for, because they rotate the text when the tabs are on the side. (In excel, the 'right' and 'left' orientations allow you to place a lot of tabs without multiple columns, this is what I want)

Here are a couple of possibilities. There are not free, but then I doubt you will find a tab control better than the Tabbed Dialog Control that is free.

Is there any way I can program my own? I tried to do it but I came up against a few obstacles:

1: I need to catch the event when a control is dropped inside the dialog and place it on the right tab.
2: I need to change the tab showing by catching a click event at design time (must be possible because the tabbed dialog does it).
3: I need to save and load where controls are.
