Alternative to tabs with long names

For a Windows Forms application I'm looking for a solution to organize forms in a tab group. Problem is that those tabs would be dynamic and have cryptic, short to long labels.

Data is land registry data, each tab would be a section of the land registry. My users have deep knowledge of those things, so understandability of text would not be a problem.

The most common case would be just one section, but there can also be cases where there are three or more. With the length of the tab labels, 3 tabs would already be hard to display (more and longer tabs would get cut off with "..." and eventually be displayed in a dropdown window like in internet browsers)

Any ideas for a different solutions?

Answer

You can try breaking the tab control into a master-detail combination. Then you have all the width you want and a more uniform display of the key information (the columns).
