Tabbed interface

[didit]

Not sure where to ask this but it might involve scripts. How the heck do you create a tabbed interface- you know the kind of thing where you have several different layouts and they all have a tab sticking up with a label on it? Then you can click on the tabs and jump from screen to screen? Is there a tool for that or something? I got a book called "Using FileMaker Pro 5" by Rich Coulombre that mentions the "tabbed interface" but gives no info about how to actually create it.

It's all just an illusion!

At least from what I've seen.

A tabbed interface with five tabs, needs to get set up as five seperate layouts, with an identical set of buttons up on top, except for having one be highlighted. Link each button to go to one of the other layouts. Then, if you want to make them look like tabs, just put a background colored box over the bottom of the button, so that it looks like a lil' file folder

It's really easy. Go to www.layoutmode.com for instructions and examples.

keshalyi was right -- it's just an illusion. There is no spoon.
