Jan,

tab tab panel is a button that looks like a tab panel, it just looks  
like, when you press any of the options a simple menuPick message is  
triggered and the face of the button changes but no control is hidden  
or displayed, you must take care of those things your self. You can  
hide/show groups or traverse cards. It's just a nice button that  
triggers menuPick message like all "menu like" buttons.

I don't think there's a huge inner working since all is done by  
yourself, you need to code your tab panel, all the IDE does is  
provide you with nice graphics and a pre-packed button.
