title: Attach a TabControl to MDI parent form instead of toolstrip
body: <p>I have a set of well-behaved Windows Forms that are embedded in DLL's that I do not have full control over.  These are part of a separate legacy projects that I'm trying to unify under one interface so that the application doesn't quite feel like popup hell.</p>
  
  <p>I think the way to do this is to create an MDI parent form, and open the other forms as children of that.  One child form at a time as they're needed.  As they navigate one MDI document will close, and another will open.</p>
  
  <p>The parent MDI form though, needs navigation controls.  And I'd like to use a tabcontrol.  Is it possible to attach a tabcontrol to the parent MDI form?  All I can find documentation for and examples of are toolstrips, but that's far too limiting for what I want to accomplish.</p>
  
  <p>No code to show, sorry.  I'm not sure if what I want is possible at all.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong> As indicated below, I really didn't need MDI to accomplish what I set out to do.  Leaving the question as-is, however.</p>
