TABCONTROL

PLBCMP GUI Only

The TABCONTROL instruction defines a tab control object. A tab control object has the appearance of notebook dividers. Each TABCONTROL is a single object. When the current tab changes, the tab control must directly update it contents to reflect the change. To define a TABCONTROL, use one of the following statement formats:

(1)	[label]	TABCONTROL	[%]
(2)	[label]	TABCONTROL	(arraysize)
(3)	[label]	TABCONTROL	^
(4)	[label]	TABCONTROL	^,{target}
(5)	[label]	TABCONTROL	^(arraysize)
(6)	[label]	TABCONTROL	^(arraysize),({target}),...,({target})

Where:

label

Optional. A Data Label.

Optional. Denotes the item as being GLOBAL.

arraysize

Required. An integer decimal constant, CONST variable, or EQUATEd value indicating the number of array items.

Optional. Denotes the item as being a POINTER.

Note the following:

The text associated with each label may include an Alt Keyboard Sequence.

Although a TABCONTROL may be defined as Global, it is DESTROYed during a CHAIN instruction.
During program execution, a Control+Tab or a Shift+Control+Tab key sequence will change the tab selection to the next tab.
