You do so by changing TabPage.Text , of course as you know already this is
not changeable by the user, you have to implement it. A first idea is to
detect a click on the desired tab, you could check it in the selected_index
event. if that is the one you are looking for, create a Textbox with the
correct size/location and edit it, if you remove the border decorations it
will looks like you are editing the name directry in the tabpage.

An alternate option is to extend tabpage with the desired feature.

Hello Ignacio Machin,
Thx for idea...
but i want this on mouse right click context menu and as u might be aware
that mouse right click does not select the tabpage, it clicked on so its hard
to check which tabpage user has right clicked.
Same problem i am facing for delete the tabpage on mouse right click also.

Have you look around for a third party control?

Otherwise you would have to implement your own control

Have you seen my "Associate a ContextMenu with the TabItem headers of a
Tabcontrol." example?

If it's not exactly what you want, it should be easy enough to modify.
