I am trying the WebTabPanel object on the web platform from the ide you can create the various tabs, but I would like to understand how to make new tabs via code. so that you can dare to let users create their own tabs, how can I do this? ---

I checked in the Documentation, there is a method whose name is AddControl, but it does no t seem to be able to add a Tab to a TabPanel. Under the Notes, there is > ### Adding, labelling, and renaming tabs > > In the Inspector, click the value of the Panels property of the TabPanel to display the Tab Panel editor. From this dialog box, you can: > > - Rename the existing tab labels by clicking twice on its name and editing the name. > - Add tabs and their labels by clicking the Add button. > - Delete any tab by highlighting it and clicking Delete. > - Rearrange the tabs by highlighting a tab and clicking the Up or Down buttons. > > You add controls to a particular panel by clicking its tab and dragging controls to that panel. So it seems that it would not be possible to add a Tab programmatically. ---

through ide I can create without problems the problem that should be done even via code which now does not agree to do. ---

That is not currently possible. You’ll need to find a different design. Perhaps you should use Containers and swap them out in code instead of using a TabPanel. ---

and yes, but if an object gives you the ability to create tabs, it should also be integrated via code. ---

But it’s not. You cannot create new tabs in code. That’s just the reality of the situation. ---

Instead of using a TabPanel, use a set of WebContainers, which you can add dynamically, and hide when you don’t need them. Use buttons to replace the tabs. ---

Just in case third-party is on the table, [GraffitiTabPanel](https://demo2.graffitisuite.com/#tabpanel) allows adding tabs at runtime and a whole lot more. ---

There is an open Feature Request for this, if you want to give it a thumb up: [#63119 - Would like ability to add / remove pages at runtime to WebTabPanel](https://tracker.xojo.com/xojoinc/xojo/-/issues/63119)
