Default first tab when opening form

I have successfully created a tabbed form (edit mode) following @RezaDorrani youtube video however, as I have created the form in a canvas app I'm not able to follow the instructions from Reza to make my first tab default when the form loads. Currently I have 4 tabs with a variable set varTabSelected, I need to have tab1 displayed when the form is opened.

Does this need to be on my 'Submit' button? Currently the onSelect is simply 'SubmitForm(FORMNAME)' do I need to add to this?

Many thanks

I would just do a Set(varTabSelected,<num of tab you want>) on the action that causes the form to open. I've used this to control the tabs in my app. Let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

Hope this helps

Hi @Angry_Sys_Admin ,
You can set the variable to first tab on -
On App Start property - Set(varTab, "tab1")
On Screen's OnVisible property - Set(varTab, "tab1")

@SuBG Thank you for your response. As the form is on a separate page to the gallery it is linked to I added the Set(var to the OnSelect of the gallery item.

This has resolved the issue.

Watched the same video(!) second option worked for me
OnVisible property of the screen with the tabs to the default tab required
