Is there a reason for putting openWindow() in there? If you get rid of
that, then everything is positioned properly.
As for setEnable(), it enables/disables the TabControl, since TabItems
aren't really controls themselves. The easiest thing to do is probably
to make a sequence that contains all the controls on each tab item, and
disable/enable them that way. The user will be able to
click between the tabs, but won't be able to do anything there.
Another option would be to make the stuff visible only when it's needed
and make it invisible after it's needed. Then it would act a little
more like the install wizards everyone is used to.
