Creates a tab user control on the user window specified by parentWindowID. A tab is a way to organize user controls.
To have a tab manage controls, use the createForm command to create a form for every tab. Then control all the associated forms' visibility based on the active tab (using getTabSelItem), and the controls for that tab will follow.
