From Hans Passant at Hide Tab Header on C# TabControl

Direct link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/6954785/3055288

Public Class TablessControl
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabControl
    Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
        ' Hide tabs by trapping the TCM_ADJUSTRECT message
        If (m.Msg = &H1328 And Not DesignMode) Then
            m.Result = CType(1, IntPtr)
        Else
            MyBase.WndProc(m)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

I translated his code to VB.NET and I'm using it myself. It works very nicely.

The vb.net equivalent of C# hex suffix `0x` is `&H`. So you can replace `Convert.ToInt32("0x1328", 16)` with `&H1328`. – Bjørn-Roger Kringsjå Sep 21 '14 at 08:05
That's true. I will change this. The cast is definitely unnecessary. – Jens Sep 21 '14 at 08:08

Late answer, and I know ones already been accepted, but this is how I do it

With TabControl1
    .Appearance = TabAppearance.FlatButtons
    .ItemSize = New Size(0, 1)
    .SizeMode = TabSizeMode.Fixed
End With
