Set currentview tabbed container in module

[Maartenvdv]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set the current view (tab) in a tabbed container that is in a module.

When I debug in the module itself, I'm getting an undefined when doing settingsContainer.setCurrentViewIndex(1).

And when I', doing ['settings3::settingsContainer'].setCurrentViewIndex(1), the setCurrentViewIndex is not a valid function on the object.

Anyone has a clue how to achieve this?

Hey @Maartenvdv,

If I understood correctly you have the tab module inside an app and are trying to change the tab inside the module from the app?

If so,

• create a new input on your module (tab_index) and set the default value to 0
• create a new JS query that sets the index of the table based on the input of the module
• create a new JSON SQL query with the trigger to automatic change and set it to:

select 1 from {{tab_index}}

• add the JS query to the success handler event of your JSON SQL query
• In your app (where you have the module embedded) change the input to whatever tab index you need.

That should work.

Hi @Maartenvdv cc @minijohn

Assume given the date you've found a solution. I came across this post this morning while trying to do something similar - basically set the active/visible/current tab when one of a set of buttons is clicked.

I was able to just use myTabs.setCurrentView("index text"); - as long as the tab has an index set (in my case in the screenshot below the tab Index (and Label) are both: Contacts

Anyway - just thought someone else may find that helpful
