FBGetControlRect is just a kludge wrapper for the real function 
GetControlBounds which you can call directly:
   GetControlBounds( button&( ctrlID ), @r )

Assuming that the tab control has embedded controls whose Rects you 
want, do something like this:

dim as ControlRef  c, @ cSub
dim as short       index, @ count
dim as Rect        r

c = button&( tabBtnID )
long if ( fn CountSubcontrols( c, @count ) == _noErr )
  index = 1
  while ( index <= count )
   long if ( fn GetIndexedSubcontrol( c, index, @cSub ) == _noErr )
     GetControlBounds( cSub, @r )
    //...do something with the Rect r
   end if
   index++
  wend
end if
