Maybe, but if you look at the modified version of your example below you will see there is a lot more wrong.

$Form1_1 = GUICreate("Form1",  290, 194, 307, 136)
$Main_Tab = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Examples\Gui\logo4.gif", 16, 42, 68, 12, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
$Options_Tab = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Examples\Gui\logo4.gif", 80, 42, 68, 12, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$Tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTab(16, 55, 257, 90)
;GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKWIDTH+$GUI_DOCKHEIGHT)
ConsoleWrite("show = " & $GUI_SHOW & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite("Hide = " & $GUI_HIDE & @CRLF)

$TabSheet1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet1")
$btn_TabSheet1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("TabSheet1", 24, 56, 113, 25)
$TabSheet2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet2")
$btn_TabSheet2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("test2", 24, 86, 113, 25)
$TabSheet3 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet3")
GUICtrlCreateLabel("I'm in TabSheet 3", 144, 106, 200, 50)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GuiSwitch($Form1_1)
$Background = GUICtrlCreatePic(@ProgramFilesDir & "\AutoIt3\Examples\Gui\logo4.gif", 0, 0, 289, 193, BitOR($SS_NOTIFY,$WS_GROUP,$WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))
GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0x888888)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Main_Tab
            GUICtrlSetState($TabSheet1, $GUI_SHOW)
        Case $Options_Tab
            GUICtrlSetState($TabSheet2, $GUI_SHOW)
        Case $btn_TabSheet1
            MsgBox(1, "test", "hi")
    EndSwitch
WEnd

The order is important and disabling the background pic is important.
