How to Use Tab Panels

With regards to Tab Panels, how does one get groups of form elements to appear in a different tab? I have a feeling that it has to do with grouping elements, and toggling each group's visiblility, based on the tab selected. But I am unsure of "best practices" in achieving this. Also related, should all of these individual groups be grouped themselves to the tab panel (in the event that the tab panel is rearranged on the card)?
Thank you in advance.

Hi toledor,
You got it right. Make groups of objects and show and hide these objects depending on the active tab of a tab menu button.
Another possibility is to put the objects on separate cards and go to a particular card depending onthe active tab.
Best regards,

is it possible to set which tab is "active" when a card opens? I populate a tabbed button with different tabs according to previous user action (which works fine) but I want it to automatically hilite the first tab.
Cheers,
Tim

Yes, and you can do it like this:
Code: Select all
set the menuhistory of button "your tabmenu button" to 1 -- make the first tab from the left the active one

Alternatively:
select line 2 of btn 1
works for a tab menu button.
Best,
Mark
