especially for the tabbed button control you can use a special syntax  
in the menupick handler:

on menupick old_menuitem, new_menuitem
    show grp new_menuitem
    hide grp old_menuitem
end menupick

Check the docs for "menupick"

With "Tabbed buttons" it will accept 2 params!
The first is the now selected menuitem, the second the previously  
active menuitem!

Cool, isn't it?!!! ;-)
