  Cause:
  
  No Tabs Defined: The most common cause is that the Tabstrip control has been created, but no tabs have been added to it.

  Visibility Conditions: Review any visibility conditions set on the tabs to ensure they are configured correctly and that the conditions are being satisfied at runtime.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to step through the code where the tabs are created or populated to identify any issues in the logic.
