Sets the focus to a specified tab
#include <GuiTab.au3>
_GUICtrlTab_SetCurFocus ( $hWnd, $iIndex )
| $hWnd | Control ID/Handle to the control |
| $iIndex | 0-based item index |
If the tab control has the $TCS_BUTTONS style (button mode), the tab with the focus may be different from the selected tab.
For example, when a tab is selected, the user can press the arrow keys to set the focus to a different tab without changing the selected tab.
In button mode, $TCM_SETCURFOCUS sets the input focus to the button associated with the specified tab, but it does not change the selected tab.
If the tab control does not have the $TCS_BUTTONS style, changing the focus also changes the selected tab.
