A Row of Tabs...

[pullmyefinger]

was reading over this info on selecting a tab. i did look at control click and the tabs to find something unique to key on, BUT there was nothing unique except the mouse click/position coordinates. Tried this and it did not work at all. malwarebytes anti malware. specifically need the update tab first, then the scanner tab, with items therein.

no text, no control id, all the classnn's are the same, etc. how the heck do i single out one (or two) tabs, do the stuff therein, select another tab and do that stuff?? BAMboozled is a good word from another commenter..

And like this ?

expandcollapse popup

If not ProcessExists ( 'mbam.exe' ) Then Run ( @ProgramFilesDir & "\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe" )

$_Title = "Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware"
WinWait ( $_Title )

That's good, but in looking for features I found NO _ControlTab Function or anything having to do with it. I need to know how this works in order to mess with what was given..
