How do I open a file into a textbox with multiple tabs?

I'm creating a document writing program in VB.NET, and I can create multiple tabs. How would I open a file into the textbox that I am open on, even though I can't declare what textbox I'm using? Link to understand this better

Code for the sub: 

Public Sub setText(Byval value As String)
  If tabPage1.Visible = True Then
    mainText.Text = value
  ElseIf tabPage2.Visible = True Then
    textBox1.Text = value
  End If
End Sub

Thanks in advance!

You need to use the same type of idea you did for the getText

Dim sub setText(value as string)
  Dim mytextbox As TextBox = TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.OfType(Of TextBox)().First()

  mytextbox.text = value
end sub
