Solution 1

You can increment/decrement tabcontrol.selectedIndex for next and previous click events
something like

tabcontrol.selectedIndex = tabcontrol.selectedIndex+1; (for  next button click event)
tabcontrol.selectedIndex = tabcontrol.selectedIndex -1; (for previous button click event)

Solution 2

The TabControl has a SelectedItem property which can be used to get or set the currently selected TabItem. Thus, you can use an int field to keep track of the currently selected tab, and in the Next button's event handler, just increase the int field by one and set the SelectedTab property to the corresponding index

C#

currentIndex += 1;
myTabControl.SelectedTab = myTabControl.Items[currentIndex];

And vice versa for the Previous button.

Hope this helps

I believe it should be
currentIndex += 1;
myTabControl.SelectedTab = myTabControl.Items[currentIndex];
