It's not clear to me what you want to do. You must know that the term
"component" around Gambas usually means a shared library which adds
functionality to the interpreter. gb.qt4, for example, is the QT4
component.

I'll assume that you want to create just a "widget" class which is usually
called a "control", instead of component. [ A component is a whole
collection of classes, and sometimes also controls, for a specific task. ]

But you don't need to create a new control class either. Embedding forms
is super easy. Again, assuming that I understood you, I attach a project
which shows how to embed some instance of a Form class into a TabPanel
where you can control, contrary to Workspace, if the user is able to close
a tab.

Note: On my system, the first form which is embedded into a tab of the
TabPanel is not resized, while all subsequent forms are expanded to fill
their tab. I don't know why...

Regards,
Tobi
