Hide tab panel button -- SOLVED --

[AndyPiddock]

I'm trying to hide a tab (button) in a tab panel.
Tab panel name is 'Main Tab Menu'

I can disable it via:
disable menuItem 2 of Button "Main Tab Menu"

and have tried:
set the visible of menuItem 2 of Button "Main Tab Menu" to false
which has no effect

Also tried:
hide menuItem 2 of Button "Main Tab Menu"
which hides the whole tab panel.

Anyone know how to do this?

Hi Andy,

The only thing you can do is change the 'text' property of the tab button, effectively removing the line.

Thanks Jan,

Do you mean this:
put "" into menuItem 2 of Button "Main Tab Menu"

??

Andy,

look at your tab panel in the inspector there you see under basic properties at the bottom "tabs" etc.
to control it from a script

Code: Select all

on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo
    if the number of lines of the text of btn "myTabPanel" = 3 then 
        set the text of btn "myTabPanel" to "Tab 1" & cr & "Tab3"
    else 
        set the text of btn "myTabPanel" to "Tab1" & cr & "Tab2" & cr & "Tab3"
    end if
end mouseUp

or something like this
corrected an error where instead of "myTabPanel" the script referred to btn 1 from an earlier version of the script.
cheers
