Difference between the TabStrip and MultiPage controls??

[cmonroe21 via OfficeKB.com]

I am designing a task form template in Outlook 2007 in which I want to use
either the MultiPage or TabStrip controls. They look similar, what is the
difference? I have noticed that with the TabStrip control there are not dots
in the background (like there are on the form in design mode), but there are
in the MultiPage control. (I can still place controls on the TabStrip,
though??) Also, I see that I cannot modify the font of the tab labels in the
MultiPage control but I can in the TabStrip control. I tried to look the two
controls up in your book (MS OL 2007 Programming) but only found a paragraph
on the MultiPage control and didn't see anything on the TabStrip control.
Could you shed some light on the differences between the two so that I know
which fits the functionality that I need? Thanks so much!

If you want to place controls on the design surface, use a multi-page
control. I can't think of any scenarios where tabstrip would be preferred --
unless modifying the font of the tab labels is the most important feature
you need.
