SelectedTab

Applies to

Tab controls

Description

The SelectedTab property specifies the index number of the selected tab page in the tab control. As the user selects tabs in the Tab control, the value of SelectedTab changes to reflect the currently selected tab.

Usage

In a painter

To specify the selected tab:

  • Enter a number in the Selected Tab field on the General page of the control's Properties view.

    The number should be in the range 1 to N where N is the number of tab pages in the tab control.

In scripts

The SelectedTab property takes an integer value. The default value is 1, and the integer must be in the range 1 to N, where N is the number of tab pages.

The following line sets the index number of the selected tab page in the Tab control tab_1 to 3:

tab_1.SelectedTab = 3
