The problem is that I`m confused about creating tab panels.

I would like NOT to use any external resource editors/compilers, but I can`t understand the whole picture of internal FASMW resource compiler. Is there any documentation (usage description) on it?

There is no internal FASMW internal compiler.
Fasm is able to load a compiled .res file and include it in the final exe.

The compiling of resources from the source file is fully provided through macros. (resource.inc)

To change/extend the way it works, you can edit those macros. The best documentation is the examples you find here on board.

Examples doesn`t explain what happens and how those parts works. The biggest resource example is located in the FASMW.ASM, but what is what there?

Have you looked at resource.inc file?
(Located in include/macro directory)

Tabcontrol is a window that can be created by calling CreateWindow and giving the class name TABCONTROL.
Giving that this window class is defined on comctl32.dll, you will need to initialize it by calling InitCommonControlsEx at the beginning of the code.

Resource templates does the same thing only that this is performed by Windows directly.
Code:
dialog tabbed_dialog,'Compile',64,64,192,242,WS_CAPTION+WS_POPUP+WS_SYSMENU+DS_MODALFRAME
  dialogitem 'SysTabControl32','',ID_MY_TAB,8,6,176,212,WS_VISIBLE
  dialogitem 'BUTTON','C&ancel',IDCANCEL,75,24,42,214,WS_VISIBLE+WS_TABSTOP+BS_PUSHBUTTON
enddialog
    


Former code will be translated into the binary resource template format used by Windows. The translation is performed by the dialog - dialogitem - enddialog macros.

You will need then to insert tabs by sending messages to the created window.
Fill a TC_ITEM structure and then send it using a TCM_INSERTITEM (to see it working, refer to fasmw source code in fmnew and fmopen)

Err... another question.
How to add dialogs and controls into each tab?
I`m trying to understand but nothing comes out, I just don`t get it. Crying or Very sad
In the fasmw.asm it is done by CreateWindowEx, but how?
