Opening forms in tab control

Question

I'm new to non internet programing. But I got to start somewhere. So i'll try and make this simple

I have a MDI parent form with a tab control section. From a link in the toolbar i would like to open a diffrent form in my tab section. This is what I figured out so far if its even close.


Private Sub NewCustomerToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewCustomerToolStripMenuItem.Click

newcustomerinfoform = newcustomerinfoform
TabPage1.Controls.Add(newcustomerinfoform)

End Sub


The name of my main form is Main.vb and the child form i want to load into the tab is newcustomerinfoform.info

Any help would be appreciated.

    Private Sub NewToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles NewToolStripMenuItem.Click
        Dim custForm As New newcustomerinfoform
        custForm.Show()
        custForm.TopLevel = False
        TabPage1.Controls.Add(custForm)
        'you might want to try uncommenting following line :-)
        'custForm.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
    End Sub
