Tab control containers pages that can contain other controls. The user selects an active page by clicking on a tab. Tab controls are commonly used to create visual focus on the controls needed for a particular task. For example, controls to set up a PID controller might be presented on a different page to controls to start a process. This helps keep the set up out of the way from the controls that are used more often.
The tab control allows you to put controls on different “pages” and switch between them.

Please add the OnClickSend functionality to tabs.
Or is there another way to update my main code based on the selected tab?
