Highlight a Tab or change txt in Tab header

 

Hi All- I am looking for some help with highlighting a tab or the txt in the tab header. I am running a report that pulls a months’ worth of data. The report generates multiple tabs based of that data. I am looking for a solution to somehow highlight the tabs that contain data from the past 24 hrs. Can the txt contained in the header of the tabbox be changed? Font, colour, Bold etc?

Re: Highlight a Tab or change txt in Tab header

Played around with titles and icons a bit:

nw = new window("test tabs",
 tb = tab box(
  "First Tab",
  b1 = button box("One"),
  "Second Tab",
  b2 = button box("Two")
 )
);
tb << set icon(1, "Go");
tb << set icon(2, "Stop");
wait(1);
tb << set icon(1, "RowState");
tb << set icon(2, "DebuggerAddBreakpoint");
tb << set title(1, "Uno");
tb << set title(2, "Dos");

Re: Highlight a Tab or change txt in Tab header

You can set an Icon for a Tab that I believe will be the solution for what you want.  Take a look at the Scripting Index for all of the messages that can be used for the TabPageBox()

     Help==>Scripting Index==>TabPageBox

Names Default To Here( 1 );
New Window( "Example",
 Tab Box(
  tp =
  Tab Page Box(
   "alpha",
   Panel Box( "panel",
    Text Box( "text" )
   )
  ),
  Tab Page Box(
   "beta",
   Popup Box( {"x", ex = 1, "y", ex = 2} )
  )
 )
);
tp << Icon( "Diagram" );
Print( tp << Get Icon( 2 ) );
