I can get the menuHistory of the button and identify the clicked tab, but the button doesn�t seem to know what tab was last clicked. What am I missing? Jim --
Hi Jim,
At the risk of rehashing the basics : when the user clicks on a tab, your button will get a 'menuPick <new item name>,<old item name>' message. If you want to get the number of the current selected tab, you can use the 'menuHistory' property, and if you want to trigger a change from within a script, you can also set this menuHistory property of that control and it will happily call your menuPick handler. Which part doesn't work properly, or what are you having troubles with ?

If the misbehavior occurs when the stack/card with tabs is opened, you may need a preopen to rematch the selected tab with the card you are on. If your tab button is in the background group, it stays at the last selected tab but this may not be the card you open to.
I don't think this applies here but on some systems, the click position is miscalculated -- I need to click to the right of the tab in order to get the desired reaction. This is noticable only when you have a large number of tabs and click the tabs on the right side.
