Can you change tabs on a tab control by using boolean buttons?

Need to change tabs by pressing a button instead of using the actual tabs.

Absolutely. First create a local variable for your tab control. Then poll your boolean to tell when its value has changed. Finally write a value to the tab's local variable to change its tab page programmatically.

Yes, but how would you do it, let say if you had 20 booleans through out the front panel and you needed them to jump to other tabs?

Sounds like a case for an event structure that acts on a value change for each boolean button. Inside each event case, wire a value to a property node for the tab control

Try this in 7.0 format

All right, I got that far! Can not come up with a way to give a value to the boolean pushbutton to change events?

[unclebump]

You don't even need the property nodes.

Well done unclebump, this is just what I was looking for!  Thanks

I'm not sure I follow what you mean. If you are writing to property nodes for the boolean button, you need to use the Value(Signaling) item.
