Get the Current Tab Index Value of a uiTabs

[damien]

Hi,

I want to switch tabs of a uiTabs depending of the value of buttons and the currently displayed tab.

What’s the right LUA expression to get the value of the “Tab Index” that is currently displayed?

I have the following expression

ViButConfVal = ViButConf:getModulatorByName("ViButConf"):getModulatorValue()
ModeTabsVal = ModeTabs:getModulatorByName("ModeTabs"):getCurrentTabIndex()

ModeTabsVal should return 0,1,2,… depending on the current opened tab.

then I apply some conditions like :

if ViButConfVal == 1 and ModeTabsVal == 2 then ...

I can’t get the Current Index Tab value. Can you please help me with that property?

thanks a lot

Damien

Use:
panel:getComponent("PolyDTabs"):setProperty ("uiTabsCurrentTab", 0, false)

Where you replace “PolyDTabs”by your tab component name and 0 by the number of the tab you want to display (first tab is 0)

Thanks for the reply but it’s not exactly what I was looking for.
I am looking for the correct way to get the value of the tab that is currently opened but I can’t figure it out.

Let’s say the tab X is currently opened. I want to be able to get this tab value so that I can create a statement like: If condition “a” and “tab X” is currently open then…

thanks

Well…then the answer is almost there 😉

panel:getComponent("PolyDTabs"):getProperty("uiTabsCurrentTab")

will give you the tab number

Thanks Goodweather. This is exactly what I needed. I already replied but I don’t know why my answer is not available.
