OI 7.2.2

If in the click event of a tab control I have

val=@CtrlEntID-]Value

begin case

case val

 .

 .

end case

@@Window-]vpostion=val

return 0

This works, but if I set @@window-]vpostion from another control it will page but the active tab is not in the fore front (ie. not selected) with the dotted box around the text.

How can I activate that?

Also, to Rev support. I did a search on "Tab" here in the works section. The results were supposed to be BY DATE but my results

were not sorted at all.

For questions like this where the tab control is relatively new having the most recent posts about the search subject at the top would help to weed out.

Thanks

In the VSCSCROLL Event put

.TabControl_1-]Value=value

Hi Bob,

Thanks, I'm not sure about the VSCSCROLL event but I

added

.tabcontrol_1-]value=x

to the click event I called from the tabcontrol and that

did the trick.

Thanks!

Another question. Is it possible to change the text color for each tab in a tab control?

Bruce, last i heard we still cannot assigned specific color to each individual tab, but you can assign a bitmap to each tab and you could create an image that just hues the background to the color you want.

cluckie work-around - but its one way.

Thanks, not a bad idea. I've used the bitmaps although if not using the first tab they move to the first tab.

true - but i handle that issue with:

pageTabValue=Get_Property(window:'.TAB_CONTROL1','VALUE')

stat=Set_Property(window,'VPOSITION',pageTabValue)

depending on which tab i want the user on, i do some validation with it as well, don't know if this will work with your order of tabs, but i have been able to smooth it out a bit by playing with it.
