    If you want to convert an existing element into a tab title, choose

    If you want to create a new tab title, choose "Pushbutton" from the
    element palette and place it in the title row of the tabstrip control.
    If you want to use an ABAP Dictionary field as a tab title, first place

    as described above before moving it into the title row of the tabstrip
    control.
