I don't think you missed something. The Tag property comes all the way from
the Control class which is not aware of specific features of TabStrip.

But since Tag is a Variant, it can hold anything. Specifically you can put
a Variant array or Collection into the single Tag property of the TabStrip
and use that to index multiple tags. Was that clear enough?

Regars,
