Hello everyone!

I currently have a two-tier navigation screen using tab strips. I want to make one of the tab strip’s vertical and dynamically move below the other tab strip when a selection is made. The first tier tab is dynamic. To accomplish this, I need to get the x and y position of each tab within the tab strip, but I don’t know how to access the inner components of a component. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
