Active Tab Colours

[pbang007]

Hi,

Is it possible to have the Active tab display a differenet colour than the inactive tabs? For example, if tab_1 is selected it is blue whereas the inactive tabs are green. When I select tab_2, it becomes blue and tab_1 becomes green?

Thanks in advanced,

P

Each tab can be given a different colour. But I suspect that's not what you really want.

Select each tab in turn and put a blue rectangle/text object in it.

I rarely use the native tabs any more. Instead I give each tab an object name and make them a fixed width of 0px. Then I create text boxes that are buttons set to perform the script step Go To Object[]. You can apply conditional formatting to the text boxes to get the fill color you want, most likely using GetLayoutObjectAttribute(tabname; isfrontTabPanel).

Example i had that relates to Comments suggestion.

(as i am on 8.5 i do not yet have conditional formatting).
