Learning Tabbed Buttons.

[Ryno Swart]

The work you have all done on the tabbed button tutorial has been 
exemplary and it could well establish a standard as far as Rev 
documentation is concerned. Thanks to you all. I am especially 
impressed by the easy and generous exchange of ideas and and tweaking.

I feel that Judy has created a superb interface with various tabbed 
buttons used in such a way as to explain different levels of user 
skill. I also enjoy the point by point format of the PDF. However, I do 
find the scripts a bit complex for me...

All I needed to know, and without which I was lost, is this:
-------------------
Script Tabbed Button as follows (my favourite from a few):

on menuPick pCardName
    go to card pCardName
end menuPick

Group Tabbed Button, tick "Behave as a background", create extra cards.

Then name each card EXACTLY the same as the Tab Button that is to take 
you to that card.
===========
This naming is critical, and it is nowhere that I could find in the 
documentation. I had to figure it out myself eventually by naming my 
cards "Tab 1" and "Tab 2" and seeing what would happen. I also did not 
find this elegant script in the documentation, but received it from 
list members. (Where, by the way, does the "pCardName come from, and 
where is this "p" convention documented?)
-------------------
That's it, it works, I understand all but the "p" thing, and I would 
like to thank you all.

I would love to see this excellent tutorial stored in some central and 
easy to find repository of tips and tutorials. It is also important not 
to have too many such items in one place, because too much information 
is also not good.

I must also mention the wonderful tabbed button example posted me by 
Mickey.
