Hi,

I am using Tab strip component in vision project. Whenever the screen opens, the selected tab strip component is not proper. Is there any way to set the default tab like in perspective.’  
And also sometimes, tab strip is working only on double click.

Thanks in advance

No, there is no default setting in Vision.  
You must code it in the window load (or activated) event…

Maybe put in preview mode and set the selected tab, then this should be the default.

It can be accomplished by using the internalFrameOpened event of the component’s parent window with this code:  
`system.gui.getParentWindow(event).getComponentForPath('Root Container.Tab Strip').selectedTab = "Name of the Tab"`
