操作步驟：

1、在工程中添加COM的Microsoft Internet Controls的引用（這個引用對應的文件是shdocvw.dll，通常在system32目錄下）。

2、如下代碼：

Public Class Form1Class Form1
    Private Sub NewWindow3()Sub NewWindow3(ByRef ppDisp As Object, ByRef Cancel As Boolean, _
            ByVal dwFlags As UInteger, _
             ByVal bstrUrlContext As String, ByVal bstrUrl As String)

        Dim xPage As TabPage = New TabPage
        xPage.Text = "abcd"
         TabControl1.TabPages.Add(xPage)

        Dim x As New WebBrowser
         DirectCast(WebBrowser1.ActiveXInstance, SHDocVw.WebBrowser).RegisterAsBrowser = True

        xPage.Controls.Add(x)
        x.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
         x.Visible = True

        x.Navigate(bstrUrl)
        Cancel = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub NewWindow2()Sub NewWindow2(ByRef ppDisp As Object, ByRef Cancel As Boolean)
        Dim xPage As TabPage = New TabPage
        xPage.Text = "abcd"
         TabControl1.TabPages.Add(xPage)

        Dim x As New WebBrowser
         DirectCast(WebBrowser1.ActiveXInstance, SHDocVw.WebBrowser).RegisterAsBrowser = True

        xPage.Controls.Add(x)
        x.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
        x.Visible = True
         x.Navigate("about:blank")

        ppDisp = x.ActiveXInstance 'DirectCast(x.ActiveXInstance, SHDocVw.WebBrowser).Application
        'Cancel = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load()Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        '在窗體載入后設置Webbrowser的NewWindow3事件處理函數
        'AddHandler DirectCast(WebBrowser1.ActiveXInstance, SHDocVw.WebBrowser).NewWindow3, AddressOf NewWindow3
        '如果不是Windows XP SP2的話需要監控NewWindow2消息
         AddHandler DirectCast(WebBrowser1.ActiveXInstance, SHDocVw.WebBrowser).NewWindow2, AddressOf NewWindow2

        WebBrowser1.Navigate("//www.applevb.com")
    End Sub

End Class

運行程序，可以看到新打開的窗口都會在TabControl１的新標簽頁abcd中打開．
