Dear John, dear all,
while John's solution helped nicely for modifying the state of a tab, I
am again stuck with selecting a tab. I've managed to capture the tabs
numeric id (0-based). But using tkselect or tcl does not get me where I
want. The code below shows a simplified version of what I tried:
Rcmdr.new.FrF2() ## displays a window that contains a
notebook (named tn) with 6 tabs
## and the first tab selected with one
widget having the focus
tcl(tn, "select", 1) ## for selecting the second tab; produces
an error and leaves first tab selected
Error message:
Error in structure(.External("dotTclObjv", objv, PACKAGE = "tcltk"),
class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] invalid command name ".179.1"
