GUISwitch

Switches the current window used for GUI functions.

GUISwitch ( winhandle [, tabitemID] )

Parameters

winhandle: The handle of the window to switch to.

tabitemID: ControlID of the tabitem control to be selected.

Return Value

Success: Returns the handle of the previously current.

Failure: Returns a NULL handle.

Remarks

Many of the GUI specific functions work on the "current" window - this is usually the last window created with GUICreate. This function allows you to make another window "current". That's does not mean that the referenced window will become active. You have to use WinActivate.

Using the tabitemID allow to create new control in the specified tabitem control. Don't forget to close tabitem definition GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("")

Don't feel too bad; I've been using AutoIT for almost a year now and there are still functions that I don't exactly recall how to use. The Autoit3.CHM file is almost always open on my 2nd monitor when I'm building a brand new AutoIT script.

Case in point: I knew exactly what you needed, but I couldn't remember the command Typed in GUI into search and recognized the command in the list of topic results...
