OK, I can see this is about System.Windows.Forms.TabControl, but you should always tag it: "Forms". This is not your first question.

You need to use one of these properties, or both:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tabcontrol.selectedindex.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tabcontrol.selectedtab.aspx[^].

Even more important thing to use: Microsoft Q209354.
