Answer 1

You easily can use the DevExpress UserControl. Make a class which extends from UserControl (you can also use Designer for it). Then your TabControl needs different TabPages which are your container. Then you can add your Form (UserControl) to the TabPage in same way like Panel.

To close a tab you can easily change the tab page to another one (which is empty or got other usercontrol). If the user should not come back you can use the visibility of each TabPage or the enable Property to handle this.

Answer 2

Create a new TabItem, add the new form to the created TabItem and finally add the TabItem to the TabControl.
