Keith: Thanks for the reply.
The issue in 4D (which I should have explained) is that, since 4D doesn't report a click, I can't trap for the contextual click. "SVG pictures offer a good way to see clicks. You'll always get an object's ID, and you can put almost anything in the picture." Agreed, but I'd rather avoid rolling my own — I'm a believer in the idea that "someone, somewhere has solved this issue so there's a solution out there". I've also looked into using a button grid + graphic (not very aesthetic) and there's always using On event call to trap the mouse clicks, but that could present problems because resizing the tab control could make the coordinates of each tab hard to determine. And I did check to see if Miyako had done something magical to solve this problem but no joy there. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 9:11 AM Keith Culotta via 4D_Tech < 4d_tech@lists.4d.com> wrote: > A tab control will not report a click when the click is on the current tab > "page", but Safari seems to work that way too (no reaction to a click on > the current page's tab).
