Question

i have a tabbed canvas

i need to know how to swap to the next tab when a button is pressed

so what do i program into the next-tab button??

Answer 1

Best way normally is to navigate to an item on the new tab page, e.g.

GO_ITEM('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME');

OR you can make the tab page topmost explicitly:

SET_CANVAS_PROPERTY('CANVAS_NAME', TOPMOST_TAB_PAGE, 'TAB_PAGE_NAME');
