    Check out the vbrichclient4.dll. You could make one quite easily with that

    Thanks for that i have never seen it before
    but how to use it? i copied all dlls to system32 folder and registered the vbRichClient5 with regsvr32 but when i load it from component it says vbRichClient5.dll can't be loaded.

    Edit: Nvm i got it working it is a reference not ocx but i can't see tabs.

    There are no tabs. You create them yourself in code in the same way that the other controls are created in the demos that can be downloaded from the site.

    You can also avoid gauche "skinning" and just use controls that conform to the system's UxTheme styles. Most of the VB5 Common Controls OCXs supplied with VB6 will accept styles using a Common Controls 6.0 manifest.

    In the IDE they still look wonky but the compiled version is fairly clean with "hot" tabs that highlight in blue when you hover over them:
