I am a newbie in AX.. ^^ I have a difficult time to search article that show a way to get text from string edit control in form AX 2012 R3. Thank God, I finally found a solution. Hope this tutorial is helpful to you (^o^)/

b. To make your tab is autosize, change width to Column Width and height to Column Height
c. Right click on Tab > New Control > TabPage
d. Right click on TabPage > New Control > StringEdit


2. Change Property of StringEdit 
a. Name : TxtMyString
b. Auto Declaration : Yes (to make your control is available in your X++ code
