textbox and label not immediatly showing up after button click

hello I am trying to make it so when I click a button it opens a new tab and shows a randomly generated account number. When I click my button it makes the new tab and takes me to it but the textbox and label do not show up unless I click the tab.

            TabPage newTab = new TabPage(tabName);

            // Create controls: Label and TextBox for Account Number
            Label acctNumLabel = new Label();
            acctNumLabel.Text = "Account Number:";
            acctNumLabel.Width = 300;
            acctNumLabel.ForeColor = Color.Black;
            acctNumLabel.Location = new Point(38, 15);

            TextBox acctNumTextBox = new TextBox();
            acctNumTextBox.Location = new Point(56, 22);
            acctNumTextBox.Name = "acctNumTextBox";
            acctNumTextBox.Enabled = false; // Prevent user input
            acctNumTextBox.ReadOnly = true; // Read-only

            // Generate a random account number and display it in the TextBox
            Random random = new Random();
            int accountNumber = random.Next(1000, 10000); // Change this range as needed
            acctNumTextBox.Text = accountNumber.ToString();
