How do I automatically go to one tab after an event?

Gumby question here...  I am just starting to work with tabs.

I have one tab of several that is the "Start Up" tab.  Every time the user clicks the little white "Start Arrow" I want the program to automatically show the "Start Up" tab.  The user then selects various communications ports, etc.  When finished setting things up, the user clicks a "Start Test" button.  At this point, I want to show the "Main Screen" tab instead of the "Start Up" tab.  How do I do this?

See attached vi with dummy tabs that show the buttons I want on the tabs I want.

Thanks!

Create a property node for the tab control. Set the property "Value" to the desired tab. After creating the property node create a constant for the value property. This will be an Enum of your tabs.

Note: When you add or delete tabs from the control you will need to go through and recreate the constant. It is not updated automatically.
