If the focus is already on the tab, arrows are already correctly navigating to the next/previous tab.<br />
<br />
Trying to handle the PreviewKeyDown or KeyDown event will likely conflict with other controls: e.g. Moving the cursor left/right in a TextBox.<br />
<br />
If all the controls are read-only, then this won't be much of an issue. But if people are allowed to alter the data, then intercepting the arrow keys will interfere with standard navigation.<br />
<br />
Instead, maybe you can just teach your users to use CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB which are the standard navigation keys for tabcontrols.

The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
