hi,

How can i switch tabs between pages (page1, page2 ...) from program? I am using tab control.

Thank you,

Do you want to do this programmatically?  if so then you'd use a property node to slect the active page.

Do you want to operator to select the tab at run-time?  Then simply click on the tab while the program is running.

Have a look at the attached example.  Run it and look at the front panel Tab 😉

I would strongly recommend a local variable instead. Property nodes carry a lot of unneeded extra baggage.

If the tabs are always under programmatic control and should never directly be operated by the user, you should turn the tab control into an indicator and wire it directly, eliminating the local.

I'm obviously not one of the "Locals"  😉

Completely agree that is the operator will never click on the TAB, then change it into an indicator and wire the desired tab-number directly to the TAB indicator.

I would also hide the Tabs.  It looks better, too.

System tabs look like good (on XP)
