I would use three things. A right click close, a menu bar close and an short cut key close. (Short cut keys usually activate the menu bar one)

Re: Need Visual Basic Help!
Oh, and this code comes up with an error every time I select the new tab. One tab is titled New and adds a new tab, but if I select that tab it produces an error in the red part:
Private Sub TabControl1_Selected(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged
If TabControl1.SelectedTab.ForeColor = Color.Coral Then
Dim Browse As New WebBrowser
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(1, "Blank")
TabControl1.SelectTab(i - 1)
Browse.Name = "wb"
Browse.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Add(Browse)
i = i + 1
Else
Me.Text = CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).DocumentTitle & " - Ninjabrowse"
End If
End Sub

Re: Need Visual Basic Help!
The following is from my tabed PDF file viewer. It would be nearly the same as the browser just replace the file location with the document title.
TabControl1.TabPages(i).Text = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(PDF_file) & ".pdf"
Me.Text = TabControl1.SelectedTab.Text & " - What-The PDF viewer"

That's not the problem. I don't know the event after a tab - can you just read my posts please?

Re: Need Visual Basic Help!
If you want a close button on the tab, I would make a subclass of whatever class the tab is, then reprogram the drawing method so it adds a close button. It might not be particularly easy though.

You should put the class in another file. This is good for finding problems.
project
add new item
class
To refer to the class in your form.
Just type.
ClassName(Variables)
or ClassName() <-- no variables.
If the class returns a result
Result = ClassName()
or
Result = ClassName(variable)

It's like in Squeak, if you understand that...
If you don't, here's an overview.
A class is a kind of blueprint for making objects. It is not already one of those objects.
You can create an instance of a class like this: new ClassName. It's like building something from the blueprints.
Sometimes you want a class to be like or extend an existing class. Rather than coding the class all over again, we can use this:
Class NewClassName
Implements BaseClassName
The new class will automatically have all the parts of the base class. You can add new methods or override old ones.

Re: Need Visual Basic Help!
Try
CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).DocumentTitle.ToString
When it gives an error message write the error message in a post.

OK. But what is this to help with? THis:
Dim Browse As New WebBrowser
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(1, "Blank")
TabControl1.SelectTab(i - 1)
Browse.Name = "wb"
Browse.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Add(Browse)
i = i + 1
is the problem because there's an error because I'm pretty sure the valuies are messed up, or there isn't a browser in the tab, or it reads the tab new, which has a coral background. And for some reason it stays on the 'New Tab' tab.
Index 0 is out of range.
Parameter name: index

Re: Need Visual Basic Help!
Make sure i is set too the number of tabs you have.
I think you left it at one but you added a blank tab.
Try setting i to 2
Ok your code is putting the browser in the second last tab.
Type
Browse.Navigate("http://scratch.mit.edu")
at the end to see if it worked.

Lol. I am doing so much of this browser thing. Please list people who have helped you build your project (Even just tips and pointers which helped you).

Re: Need Visual Basic Help!
Time for a code dump and a print screen of what you have and errors. (Use code only for this area). Last time I was able to help you when you did that.
