good day - I am wondering if anyone can explain to me how to allow the user to change the name of the tabs in a tab control via a textbox? For example, at runtime the user will be able to change the title of the tab ("TabPage1") to "Baking" by typing in "Baking" in a textbox. I have 6 Tabs total in a tab control, a combo box for selecting the tab and a textbox to type the new name into. When they hit the "save" button, the tab number they selected from the combo box will change from "tabPage1" to "Baking".

To allow a user to change the name of a tab dynamically at runtime, you can implement the functionality by using a TabControl, a ComboBox, a TextBox, and a Button. When the user selects a tab from the ComboBox, types a new name into the TextBox, and clicks the Button, the selected tab's name will change. In the button's click event, you retrieve the selected tab index from the ComboBox, get the new name from the TextBox, and update the corresponding tab's title using tabControl1.TabPages[selectedIndex].Text = newTabName. This approach allows for seamless tab renaming based on user input. Ensure proper validation, such as checking if a tab is selected and the new name is not empty.
