WPF and State Machine Pattern - wpf

Question

I want to implement functionality that give possibility switch tabItems (TabItem1,TabItem2,TabItem3), when user click button "next" on the Form. And for that reason I'd like to use State Machine Pattern.
These things I've already implemented, but I have no clue, is it right or not?:
public abstract class State
{
#region Constructros
public State()
{
}
public State(State state)
{
this.CurrentState = state.CurrentState;
this.PreviousState = state.PreviousState;
this.NextState = state.NextState;
}
public State(Machine machine,string strCurrentState,string strPreviousState,string strNextState)
{
this.CurrentState = strCurrentState;
this.PreviousState = strPreviousState;
this.NextState = strNextState;
this.SetParams();
}
#endregion
public const string WELCOME = "WELCOME";
public const string EMR_CONFIGURATION = "EMR_CONFIGURATION";
public const string MIGRATION = "MIGRATION";
public const string END_OF_STATES = "END_OF_STATES";
private Machine machine;
private string currentState;
private string previousState;
private string nextState;
private string nameState;
public virtual void SetParams() { }
public virtual void ChangeState(Machine m, State s)
{
m.ChangeState(s);
}
//Get The name of State
public Machine Machine
{
get { return this.machine; }
set { this.machine = value; }
}
//Current State
public string CurrentState
{
get { return this.currentState; }
set { this.currentState = value; }
}
//Previous State
public string PreviousState
{
get { return this.previousState; }
set { this.previousState = value; }
}
//Next State
public string NextState
{
get { return this.nextState; }
set { this.nextState = value; }
}

Answer 1

If when you run it works then you've got it right, if when you run it doesn't work then you've got it wrong.

Answer 2

In general:
When you're rephrasing a question, edit the original post and add explanations there.
You can create a context class that holds all the relevant states and the current, previous and next state. Each state can handle each change and decide the next state based on:
Runtime value of Context variables.
The context's previous state.
etc.
