Pretty sure it's a bug in WebTabPanel
after all i said there i changed the other form to be the Startup class and
when that was the main form It still hangs.

changing cbox.Index did not hang but tab.Index did.

I think it is because the tabs have not initialized properly before you set
the text box items.

The following code also fixes it by setting index to all tabs before you
set the text box strings...

Public Sub WebForm_Open()

' Run through the tabs to initialize them
For c As Integer = tab.Count - 1 DownTo 0
   tab.Index = c
 Next

' nothing fails now :)

   cbox.Index = 2

  T1.Text = "CIAO1"
  T2.Text = "CIAO2"
  T3.Text = "CIAO3"


End
