Try that derived class form TabControl. It simply overrides the DisplayRectangle and adds a ShowTab Property for your new TabControl class. Does it help you ?

  
public partial class CustomControl1 : TabControl
    {
        public CustomControl1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)
        {
            base.OnPaint(pe);
        }

        public override Rectangle DisplayRectangle
        {
            get
            {
                if (showTabs)
                {
                    return base.DisplayRectangle;
                }
                else
                {
                    return new Rectangle(0, 0, Width, Height);
                }
            }
        }

        #region Properties
        private bool showTabs = true;
        [Category("Apparence"), Description("Indique si les onglets s'affichent."), DefaultValue(true)]
        public bool ShowTabs
        {
            get { return showTabs; }
            set
            {
                showTabs = value;
                RecreateHandle();
            }
        }
        #endregion
    }
