Hi,

I have a issue and it’s about a tabStrip

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/1/21a9b881821b071217e5c23f3dcb6fdeb24ebe11.png)

when I click on the button, it goes to the path where I want and when I go back to where the tab is, that tag stays selected and therefore I can’t use it again because it is selected.

¿is there any property/option where I can refresh the page or deselect the tab to make it active again?

cheers

Go to the vision property editor for the tap strip bind the Selected tab to a system tag:[System]Client/User/CurrentWindow

It doesn’t refresh the page, it just shows what window you have selected.

Note that this tag will only be reliable if all of your main window operations use `system.nav.swapTo`, to ensure only one main window is ever open at one time. (Same as for `system.nav.getCurrentWindow`.)

can be a little more specific please 🙂

What should I do? use an expression in the selectedTab property and make a condition calling system.nav.getCurrentWindow()!=“Home”?

something like that?
