Hiliting tab panel tabs on open card

Rev Studio 2.8.1
Mac OS X 10.4.10
iMac Intel

I have a tab panel with six tabs. They all work fine when I click on a tab, but when I go (from outside the tabbed cards) to one of the cards that use this tab panel group background I want the corresponding tab to hilite (turn blue) so the user knows where he or she is. I can't seem to achieve this. I've tried numerous methods to no avail, though it's probably something simple I'm overlooking. Any suggestions?

Hi Paul,

yes, this is a bit tricky

You can:
select line 1 of btn "Your tabbedbutton here..."
## Or any other line...

This will "hilite" the first TAB.

Thanks Klaus! This works fine. It wasn't at all intuitive (to me).

Hi Paul,

here is another not too inuitive hint concerning tabbed buttons:
If you want to simulate a "mouseclick on one of the TABS" you can use:

set the menuhistory of btn "tabbed button" to 1
## or any other (tab) number
