C / C++ / MFC

1. Create a member variable to store the current tab index.
   
2. Create an array member variable to hold all of the index values for the currently disabled tabs.
   
3. Handle the TCN_SELCHANGING notification message to set the current tab index.
   
4. Handle the TCN_SELCHANGED notification message to decide if you want to enable the tab to be activated. If you don’t, you must post a PSM_SETCURSEL message. In this message, the last active tab index is specified.
