How do i use the

onSelect(tabid,tabtext,tabindex) - a tab has been selected

onDeselect(tabid,tabtext,tabindex) - a tab has been deselected (another tab got the focus)

i dont get what i put for tabidindex like is it the same as tabid or what im just confused what goes in what params...

function Info_Tabs.onSelect(0,"Info","WHAT HERE?");
{
//script;
}

You don't need to put anything, just read what you need in the actual script.

Example:

PHP Code:

function whatever_tab.onSelect(tabid,tabtext,tabindex)
{
 switch(tabtext)
  {
   case "Bob":
     player.chat = "Bob tab selected!";
     break;
   case "Bill":
     player.chat = "Bill tab selected!";
     break;
  }
} 


etc...

One thing I like doing with tabs is name them with their respective scrollbox...

It allows this shortcut:

PHP Code:

function whatever_tab.onSelect(tabid,tabtext,tabindex)
{
  for ( tab: whatever_tab.rows )
    (@"Scroll"@ tab.text ).visible = ( tab.text == tabtext );
}

Ooo, I could use that. Thanks Novo.

Another way of doing it is inside the TabControl you could do this.

PHP Code:

thiso.catchevent(this, "onSelect", "TabSelected"); 


or outside of the tab control:

PHP Code:

this.catchevent("TabControlName", "onSelect", "TabSelected"); 


All this basically does is call another function (with parameters) once the action of the specified GUI control has happened.
