Tab Controls - How do I tell which tab has been chosen by the user? 2

[emaduddeen]

Hi everyone,

Can you tell me what code to use to determine which tab has been chosen by a user?

The 2 tab use variables I am using are: ?Tab:Categories and ?Tab:Inventory

Thanks.

You need to query the sheet use-variable, i.e. ?CurrentTab
CHOICE(?CurrentTab) returns the tab-number, 1=most left tab, 2=2nd tab, etc.

execute CHOICE(?CurrentTab)
    message('Categories selected')
    message('Inventory selected')
end

If you want to run code when the user selects a new tab, you can add an embed at the sheet (?CurrentTab) NewSelection event. Then use CHOICE(?CurrentTab) to determine the action.
Good luck!

Hi Emad,

You can also use :

CASE ?CurrentTab{prop:ChoiceFeq}
OF ?Tab:1
OF ?Tab:2
...
END

It looks easier for me to read.
