Tabs

[Judy Perry]

>From a long-time noob:

You can do it using a single card.  You can then selectively hide/show the
objects per tab pane using a mouseUp handler for the tabbed panel in which
you check for the selectedText of the tab button.  From there, you can use
either case statements or the if-then construct to display/hide the
appropriate panel stuff.

Something along the lines of:

on mouseUp -- of the tabbed button set
  if the selectedText of me is "Tab1" then --checks for active tab
    hide image|field "myImageName"|"myFieldName" --hides unwanted stuff
    show image|field "myImageName"|"myFieldName" --shows wanted stuff
  end if
  --... repeat until you've checked for all tabs
end mouseUp

At least, that's how I think I've done it in the past @;-)

HTH,

Judy
