c# - Disable switching between tabs by click or keys in TabControl

Question

So guys, is it possible to switch to another tab by ONLY using NEXT button?

This is mean that you CAN'T switch to another tab page by clicking that other tab.

The code that I usually use on the NEXT button are something like this :

tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage2;

Answer 1

TabControls Selecting Event will disable switching, but we need to keep track of button's click with a bool value, otherwise button's click won't select the tab either.

bool checkCancel = true;
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    checkCancel = false;
    tabControl1.SelectTab("tabPage2");
}

private void tabControl1_Selecting(object sender, TabControlCancelEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = checkCancel;
    checkCancel = true;
}

Result, (btw trying to click to tabpages at the gif :))
