how to deal with tabs in c# winforms

Asked by mathieu_cupryk in C# Programming Language, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

I have four tabs in an application.
1) SelectPriceListTab
2) CreateUpdatePriceListTab
3) ErrorWarningsTab
4) CompareResultsTab
=============================================================================
Upon the loading of the application the SelectPriceListTab appears onlone as the first tab.
The other three are hidden.
=====================================================================
SelectPriceListTab:
Case 1: if user double clicks and selects a row on the the SelectPriceListTab Page then
add the 2 tab CreateUpdatePriceListTab.
Case 2: if user selects the create button on the SelectPriceListTab Page then add the 2 tab CreateUpdatePriceListTab.
=====================================================================
if the user clicks back to SelectPriceListTab then remove the  2 tab CreateUpdatePriceListTab.
if the user clicks on the Load Button of the CreateUpdatePriceListTab and errors occur then add
the 3rd tab ErrorWarningsTab and show results on that tab.
if the user clicks on the Compare button then add the 4th tab CompareResultsTab and display the page.
===========================================================================
if the user is in the error page tab and clicks the SelectPriceListTab  then remove the 2nd tab CreateUpdatePriceList.
Samething goes for if the user compare results page tab and clicks the SelectPriceListTab  then remove the 2nd tab CreateUpdatePriceList.
======================================================================
Now the user is in the SelectPriceListTab and there are perhaps the errorswarningtab and compareresultstab. this must before the errrorwarning or the compareresultstab.

 if user double clicks and selects a row on the the SelectPriceListTab Page then
add the 2 tab CreateUpdatePriceListTab
 if user selects the create button on the SelectPriceListTab Page then add the 2 tab CreateUpdatePriceListTab.

I need something to handle the above scenorios.
please see attached snippet.
