[MEL] tabLayout Troubles

Bartalon

I've been looking for a way to set a specific tab of a tabLayout group as the "active" tab rather than defaulting to the first tab in the list, but I've come up empty handed. I've tried querying the existence of my tabs using stored variables of the exact location and name of the tab but nothing seems to recognize them as existing (return 0) so I can't really proceed with troubleshooting.

Does anyone know if this is possible and/or have any example scripts?

select tab by index from the tablayout edit mode.

if you want to do it by tab name it is more complex but still can be done.

Ah, thanks. I was trying to call the specific tab name rather than the number in the index. Got it working now.

tabLayout -e -sti $tabNumber $tabs
