Probably too off-topic for this list, but that sounds like a story worth
hearing. Perhaps over a beer after the madness ends and travel resumes...

I had become aware of and long appreciated Tog, even in 1983 when I had a
job at Datamost, and the first mac on my desktop. The single floppy and the
horrible printer got in the way and I didn't again consider the machine for
my hardware control development work over the Apple ][ until 1987 when I

What I meant to note is that in the various “Preferences” panels that have
tabs, like the “Sounds” panel (I’m still on Mavericks), the currently selected
tab (what I called the “active tab”) is dark and the unselected tabs are white,
or lighter in color. Whereas on Safari (an Apple app also) and
I am getting confused with "darker tab is the active one”.
In system preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver as an example.
If you click on the Screen Saver Tab:
1. The text of the Screen Saver Tab is white and it’s background is blue.
2. The text of the Desktop Tab is black and it’s background is wh
It’s very interesting because Safari, Firefox, Excell, most Mac applications
have lighter colored tabs for the active tab. The tabs in the Systems
Preferences work so the darker tab is the active one. Seems, with Safari at
least, Apple is inconsistent.

In addition the text in the button is offset far to much towards the bottom of
the tab.
There is a bug report for this one but it has not been incorporated into the
last release.

Except when the window is inactive the colours of the tab are not dimmed.
Is it expected in LiveCode that you disable the tabbed control?

Looks like I was wrong on this one. In the OSX Preferences window, the active
tab is set to a dark grey, while the inactive tabs are light grey. In Safari,
Firefox, and other programs, the active tab is light and the inactive tabs are
darker. Weird. Oh well, my bad. The Tabbed control in Liveco
BTW, the tab buttons I’m talking about are on the tabbed button control. I know
there was discussion about the color of the text on the buttons, but this seems
like a big bug to me. The active tab should be lighter, while the inactive tabs
are greyed darker.

how do you hilite tab 1?
Is there someway to set it via script.
something like
set the selectedTab of btn “my tab button” to 1
Close. See "menuHistory" in the dictionary. A tab button is a type of
menu button.

Terry,
The menuHistory is the last menu item selected by the user. Hence
"history". Thus far, it isn't a very strange name. This property just
happens to be modifiable by script.

Hi Terry,
Not a silly question at all, it's noot obvoiuos what you would search for
for this problem in the dictionary.
You need t use the menuHistory property wich defines which tab is hilited.
Try this;
set the menuHistory of btn "TabMenu" to "1"
1 relates to the first tab and so on.

Thanks Mark,
Found menuHistory just before your post.
A strange property name.
All the best

Hi Terence,
There are several ways to do this, e.g.
select line (the number of this cd) of btn "My Tab Button"
or
set the menuHistory of btn "My Tab Button" to the number of this cd
