want to make scrollable tabs for a tabcontrol

Question

Say I have a tab control, and I have over 50 tabs, where there is no enough space to hold so many tabs, how make these tabs scrollable?

Answer 1

It looks so:

It isn't so much different from the default control, the scrolling is appeared automatically:

I've written the article about this ScrollableTabControl class in my blog here.
