Synchronise Buttons in Tabs

[Ano Ano]

Hello,

I got 2 tabs and a start button in each tab.

When I press the start button in one tab I want to activate the start button in the other tab too and vice versa.

How can I do this?

Thank you in advance

You can do that but perhaps it would be better to have a single start button outside the tab control?

It might be the obvious solution but the client does not want the button outside the tab!

You can place it Above the Tab control.

You can do this by first placing it outside the Tab and then move it with the arrow keys.

It will indicate this with a black shadow that it's not connected to the Tab, but this black shadow is not visible in run-time.

Yes ... clients can be difficult. Another solution is to use local variables (faster) or property nodes (slower) within an event structure to determine which has been switched and update the other one. Note: you will need to make sure the Boolean is Switched, not Latched. A simple example is below (use only the property node OR the local variable!)
