Solution 1

you can use TabControl.SelectedTab Property[^]
for example if you have RichTextBox with name "rtb" in your selected tab, you can check and get the control as below

C#

if (tabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.ContainsKey("rtb"))
{
  RichTextBox selectedRtb = (RichTextBox)tabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls["rtb"];
}

Accept this answer, to start with. This is unrelated question. But don't ask it just yet. First, read MSDN documentation on the topic. This is not a documentation finder service for the lazy.
