Tabcontrol Tab width

Question

I have a tabcontrol on a form with code to dynamically add tabs at runtime.

The sizemode on the control is set to normal, but when I try to add a tab with a long name, it splits it over 2 lines and looks ugly.

Is there any way to set the width of a tab (not the tabpage)?

I think you need to set SizeMode to Fixed and ItemSize to the size you want. But that's going to affect ALL tabs, not just one of them...
