Re: [WIN32Lib] programmatically select tab item?

According to documentation in Microsoft Control Spy (I recommend that you
download it from the web, it has C source code):
- to delete item use TCM_DELETEITEM
- to select item use TCM_SETCURSEL

That should work because I tried it in Tab.exe from Control Spy and it
worked, both of them.
