C# Get a selected TabControl tab in Visual Studio WinForm

Question

I'm looking for the method which returns a bool on whether or not a tab in a TabControl is selected. I would think there would be something like tabPage1.IsSelected() but there isn't. I found this: TabControl.SelectedTab Property However, this SelectedTab property is absent from my WinForms class for some reason. Not sure if it's been taken out or what. Thanks.

Answer 1

I tried below code to know which tab is selected.

  private void tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {        
     if (tabControl1.SelectedTab == tabControl1.TabPages["operationstabPage"])
     {
           //add your code here
     }
  }

To get the selected tab in tab control, you can use -

var selectedTab = this.tabControl1.SelectedTab;

So you can do -

bool tabSelected = this.tabControl1.SelectedTab == this.tabPage1;
