How to hide tabs on Powershell GUI?

Ok, I created a powershell script and I am trying to make the main interface use a tabbed layout. I got all functionality i want working except i want to hide the tabs up top and use the buttons on the side to switch tabs. I already successfully have the buttons on the side selecting the different tabs, but i can't figure out how to hide the tabs up top? Anyone have any way how to do this???

Picture Says It Best:

Found this link (WinForms Hiding TabControl Headers) but its for Vb.net. Been playing around with it for an hour or so but no luck so far >.>

Add the following to the TabControl property-setting section:

$TabSizeMode = New-object System.Windows.Forms.TabSizeMode
$TabSizeMode = "Fixed"
$TabControl.SizeMode =$TabSizeMode
$TabControl.ItemSize = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(0, 1)
$TabAppearance = New-object System.Windows.Forms.TabAppearance
$TabAppearance = "Buttons"
$TabControl.Appearance = $TabAppearance

From Kevin Dente's Blog.

To show that the tabs are switching correctly, you could add:

$HomeTab.BackColor = "White"
$ScriptSettingsTab.BackColor = "Red"
