MDI interface with tabpage control

[RK62]

I'm struggling how to set up MDI interface where I have a tabpage control on the parent form.
Each individual tab page should act as a parent to multiple child forms but within a tabcontrol there is no IsMdiContainer property like on the form.
Is it possible to set a tabcontrol to act as a parent?

Directly that is not possible.

Use a TabControl for MDI navigation - This example uses a TabControl to navigate the windows, where each tab represent a window. If you get a little creative you can modify it to group windows per "tabpage", ie show/hide the windows in the group when a tab is selected.
