I Mark,

I’ve solved my problem by adding button in each tab.
Thanks for your answer.

Ø  Actually, it’s impossible to link script execution with the active tab property.

 

If the current tab set a PV or some other “global” state indicator, then scripts certainly could look at that PV and conditionally do or display something else. Although you would really have to brute force everything to make it work.

 

In the “old days” using MEDM, people just “faked” a similar effect by just making whole panels visible or invisible depending upon a PV, so effectively you might have any number of layers of content, only 1 which was actually visible at any particular time.

Subject: Tabbed Container Ability

 

Hi all,

I’m trying to create an OPI with on left part a menu and on right part a display OPI area. The user can change the OPI on right part by selecting a tab on Tabbed container widget (left part).

Actually, it’s impossible to link script execution with the active tab property.

 

I’ve thought of another solution but more complicated. Use a choice button widget and two linking container widgets. The first  linking container widgets is placed below the choice button and the second in the right part.

By clicking on the “tab button” the user display the menu and the OPI on the right part.

 

 

Is my need is legitimate ?

Thanks
