Tab control's page labels display as enum

Status: New

I am sure many do this:

  • Use an enum and hide the tabs
  • Programmatically change page when enum changes

This works great, but during development the page obviously does not change when changing the enum. Either you right-click the border of the tab control and "Go To Page" or you display the Page Labels Display (and programmatically hide it) or something along these lines.

 

But why not make the tab control's Page Labels Display an enum in the first place? Being able to customize it would be great, but just making it an enum would be really helpful.

 

So basically:

  • We get the look we want
  • We avoid having the extra event to change page during runtime
  • Page also changes during development
  • Everyone is happy
