Tab Strip - SlideView-Load ?

Currently I load some 150 slides oninitialize for form1. It takes about 4 seconds. I have 5 tabs and would like to only load the slides on the specific tab I am on rather than all of them. How do I do that? :) Thanks for any help.

Add the "SelChanging" event to your Tab control & load the slides when it fires...

Thank you.

So what is the itemindex?
"ItemIndex is the index of the currently selected tab."

I guess a better question is, how do I know what the "index" is? Is this the tab caption?

Look in the syntax row: "ItemIndex [as {2}]"

The ItemIndex is the current Tab page starting at 0.


(defun c:Untitled_Form1_TabStrip1_OnSelChanging (ItemIndex /)
 (cond
   ((= ItemIndex 0)
      ;;load some slides here...
   )
   ((= ItemIndex 1)
      ;;load some other slides here...
   )
   ((= ItemIndex 2)
      ;;load some more slides here...
   )
 )
)

Thanks Barry. I got it to work but its to slow to load the slides. The tab is blank with a bunch of outlines for about half a second and thing *pop* they are there. But thanks again. Good learning.

Ya sorry, that's just how long it takes to load the slides.
Are you using individual side files or did you combine them into a slide library? The l library maybe faster, but I haven't tested on a large set of files to compare.
