[Gambas-user] Still jacking with tabstrips properties and adding tabs

[M0E Lnx]

Here is the code snipplet that I have where the tabs get added to the
tabstrip (additional to the existing tabs)
http://pastebin.com/m15deb6a5
and this is the complete module (in case that doesn't make sense)
http://vinstall-ng.googlecode.com/svn/branches/iVL/MdlLiloOsList.module

The method I have now works, but I still dont understand why in the
WITH statement if I increate the .count and try to set the index to
.count -1 doesn't work..

If a tabstrip has 5 tabs, the last index on there will be 4
do If I add one more, the count will increase to 6 and the total index
will increase to 5
I should be able to do .Count - 1 (should always be total tabs - 1).
