Pardon late reply -- broke my leg ...

This API: void TabCtrl::Set(int i);
int TabCtrl::Get() const;

is insufficient to determine what the object is. I can't
rely on magic numbers (index) to determine what the object
really is. I need to get the object itself to determine if
it really is the one of interest.

It is insufficient because in one part of the code the tabctrl
is setup with items in a certain order. In another far removed
piece of code we need to take action based on a particular
Item (object) being selected. There is no guarantee that over
time that the index (magic number) really points to the item
of interest because some other programmer could have added
more tabs (Items) or decided to change the order of the tabs.

Only the underlying object (slave ctrl) can tell us if this is
really the control of interest.
