I need a method to that will display a form containing tabpanels and go directly to the second tabpanel. A regular controller.show() will show the panel in isolated form, NOT what I want. Any ideas?

And the TabIndex is 1 based. So the first tab is indeed index 1.  
Etc.

Rather obvious once I knew where to go. That’s been consistently the case with Servoy. Thanks all.
