Hi

I have tab panel with 3 tabs, red, green, blue. The tab panel I have works quite well, showing and hiding groups depending on what tab is clicked.

However I wanted to know if it was possible to show the pressed state of a tab from an external button? I'm building a menu up, and although I know how to display/show the contents of group x, I can't seem to figure out how to show the tab x was selected.

Thanks as always
Jalz

Hi.

Why, just:

answer the hilitedText of btn "yourTabPanel"

Thank you Craig

Hi Jalz,

you can also:
...
set the menuhistory of btn "your tabbed btn" to X
...
Where X = the NUMBER of the TAB.


Best
