How to find which tab page (TabControl) is on

c#, tabcontrol, winforms

Solution

Use

tabControl1.SelectedIndex;

This will give you selected tab index which will start from 0 and go till 1 less then the total count of your tabs

Use it like this

private void tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    switch(tabControl1.SelectedIndex)
    {
        case 0:
             { some code here }
             break;
        case 1:
             { some code here }
             break;
    }
}

Problem

What is the easyest way to find which tab is on. I want to show some data when i click on tabpage2 or some other tabpage. I did it like this but is not good solution: ``` private int findTabPage { get; set; } private void tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (tabControl1.SelectedTab == tabPage1) findTabPage = 1; if (tabControl1.SelectedTab == tabPage2) findTabPage = 2; } ``` and for displaying data: ``` if (findTabPage == 1) { some code here } if (findTabPage == 2) { some code here } ``` Is there any other solution for example like this?
