Hi,

  How does one switch to a specific Tab when you click on an ActionItem in another Tab?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

In order to switch tabs, you need to use the 'activeTab' property.

1) Make sure your Tab object in QML contains an id:

 id: tabbedPane

2) Make sure your tabs contain ids as well:

id: actualTab2

3) in your current tab's ActionItem's onTriggered routine, call the following:

tabbedPane.activeTab = actualTab2;

Let me know if this works for you;

Is there a way to add a transition. By default the new tab just switches in a blink, what if I want to slide to the new tab or something similar?

Hi,

Unfortunately not at the moment - This feature or the ability to customize it may come in the future. It would be a great feature request, however:

Just to add to the answer, you also can use the index of the tabs (considering you know the index) like:

tabMain.activeTab = tabMain.at(0);

where tabMain is your TabbedPane.
