C#

private void tabFormControl1_PageCreated(object sender, DevExpress.XtraBars.PageCreatedEventArgs e) {
    WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser();
    wb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
    TextBox tb = new TextBox();
    tb.Dock = DockStyle.Top;
    tb.KeyDown += (kds, kde) => {
        if (kde.KeyData == Keys.Enter)
            wb.Navigate(tb.Text);
    };
    e.Page.ContentContainer.Controls.Add(wb);
    e.Page.ContentContainer.Controls.Add(tb);
}

VB.NET

Private Sub TabFormControl1_PageCreated(sender As Object, e As DevExpress.XtraBars.PageCreatedEventArgs) Handles TabFormControl1.PageCreated
    Dim wb As New WebBrowser()
    Dim tb As New TextBox()
    wb.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
    tb.Dock = DockStyle.Top
    AddHandler tb.KeyDown, Function(kds As Object, kde As KeyEventArgs)
                               If kde.KeyData = Keys.Enter Then
                                   wb.Navigate(tb.Text)
                               End If
                           End Function
    e.Page.ContentContainer.Controls.Add(wb)
    e.Page.ContentContainer.Controls.Add(tb)

End Sub
