I agree with Paul. The function allow us to uniquely identify a certain tab from among other tabs that all have the same form in them.

Currently I do this using the tab text which a ugly way of doing it. It would be even worse when we use i18

Hello servoyians,

Any news on fixing this property? I think it should be fairly easy to fix it.

Thanks

I have a form with a tab panel with 3 tabs on it, When I select a tab, I would like to fire the Onshow Method attached to the form I am selecting.

After reading all the related topics, I am unsure which is the best way to accomplish this.

Thanks,  
Erich

The onShow will fire automatically when a form is shown, also when it’s on a TabPanel.

This allready works like this.
