The XtraTabControl does not seem to retain events in the same manner as the build in Windows tab control.
In the attached example, if you change the text in the textbox on the Windows tab control and click on the next tab, if you answer yes, the tab will change. Answering no causes the textbox's validating event to fail (the CancelEventArgs is set to true) and the tab is not changed. If you perform the same steps on the text box located in the XtraTabControl, the tab page will never change.
Proposed Solution:
Update the XtraTabControl to retain the events so the tab will change.
