There are several way to do this. One is implementig tab-change event and use the tab name. Something like:

C#

private void tabControl1_Selecting(object sender, TabControlCancelEventArgs e)
{
   string tabName = e.TabPage.Name;

  // Implement your query based on tabName
}

You could subscribe to the Selected[^] event, which triggers when the active tab is changed. From there you have access to the TabControlEventArgs.TabPage property, from which you could get either the index or the tab text.

You can then use this index or the text to perform whatever operation is needed.
