c# move to next tab in a tab control

Question

I have a TabControl, with 5 TabPages, is there any way I can go through every tab pragmatically? I want to be able to see on what tab the user is, and after he/she clicks a button, the next tab will become available, automatically, so they can write something in that page. Is this possible?

Solution 1

You can simply change the selected index:

tabControl1.SelectedIndex = (tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1 < tabControl1.TabCount) ?
                             tabControl1.SelectedIndex + 1 : tabControl1.SelectedIndex;

In my example above, the SelectedIndex is increased based on the presently selected index -- if there is an additional tab to change to.

Solution 2

If we're speaking about WinForms TabControl, there is a property SelectedTab

this is not the default tab behavior. You should replace the last tabControl1.SelectedIndex by 0...
