how to change the name of the tabcontrol

A lazy way to do it without code:

• Select the tab control

• Go to properties, use F4 to do so
• Select TabPages property, use F4 to do so
• Click the ... after the (Collection).

• Edit the name and any tabPage properties associated with it.

You can change it pretty simply in the designer; click on a blank area in the tab page contents and use the property view to set the Text property. Also through code via:

tabPage1.Text = @"Something Meaningful";

Where tabPage1 would be the reference to whichever TabPage you wanted to set the Text of.

tabCtrl.TabPages[0].Text = "some text";
tabCtrl.TabPages[1].Text = "some other text";
