Hi there,

I have a CTabFolder with two tabs. How I can force CTabFolder to show the
cTabItem I want to let show in my View ? I tried
ctabfolder.showItem(ctabitem). But it didn't work. nothing changed. Thanks
for responding.

regards,
micha

Hello,

this should solve your problem:

yourTabFolder.showItem(yourItem);
yourTabFolder.setSelection(yourItem);

With kind regards

It works fine. Thanks for the fast response. But I wondered why
showItem(myItem) doesn't work without setSelection, because in the method
setSelection(int index) the method showItem is called.

You only need to call setSelection(...). The purpose of showItem(...) is to
ensure that an item's tab appears in the row of tabs at the top (ie.- is not
scrolled off of the right), not to show its contents.
