Function Reference

_GUICtrlTabSetCurFocus

Sets the focus to a specified tab in a tab control.

#Include <GuiTab.au3>
_GUICtrlTabSetCurFocus($h_tabcontrol, $i_item)

 

Parameters

$h_tabcontrol control id/control hWnd
$i_item Zero-based index of a tab control item.

 

Return Value

None.

 

Remarks

If the tab control has the $TCS_BUTTONS style (button mode),
the tab with the focus may be different from the selected tab.

For example, when a tab is selected, the user can press the arrow
keys to set the focus to a different tab without changing the selected tab.

In button mode, $TCM_SETCURFOCUS sets the input focus to the button associated
with the specified tab, but it does not change the selected tab.

If the tab control does not have the $TCS_BUTTONS style, changing the focus
also changes the selected tab.
