Hello all,

I'm new to Gambas so I am still finding my way around. I have a question that I hope someone can answer for me.

I have a form with a TabStrip on it that contains five tabs. Each tab has a TextArea on it, 1 through 5. If I want to copy text into the TextArea of one of the tabs I have to find out what tab has been selected and then copy or paste into the TextArea;

If TabStrip.Index = 0 then TextArea1.Cut
If TabStrip.Index = 1 then TextArea2.Cut
and so on…

Is there a more elegant way of achieving this?

What I would like is;

Get the name of the TextArea on currently active Tab and put that into variable tArea
and instead of TextArea1.Cut use tArea.Cut

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for reading

If a textarea is all that is on each tab you could do this…


Or access it by name this way …


Or this..

That works perfectly, thank you.
