I'm using 7.6 and it is in my RDocs. This works for me:
Tab control component id is TabControl1, and it has four tab pages.
On a button, I have an eep that does this:
PROPERTY TabControl1 ACTIVEPAGEINDEX '1'
Which when pressed, takes the user to the second tab page (remember the
numbers start at zero.) You need to use the component ID of the tab
control itself, not the tab page.
It works for GETPROPERTY as well:
GETPROPERTY TabControl1 ACTIVEPAGEINDEX 'vpageindex'
SWITCH (.vpageindx)
CASE 0
--- do what you need if the user is on the first page
BREAK
CASE 1
-- user is on second page, do whatever......
BREAK
...
ENDSW
