Select Gallery Item in Component

Hello!

I'm new to creating components and having a hard time figuring something....

I am creating a "Tabs" component and I want to select a tab upon visible of the page. Normally, if I created a gallery 'tabs' table I would use:

 Select(Gallery1,varMyTab)

(varMyTab would be a numerical variable I would set (eg: Set(varMyTab,1)).

How to I pass a "Select()" function to my "Gallery1" that is in a component?

(if I'm not able to dynamically select a record in the gallery, how do I default Gallery1 in the component to select the 1st record)

Here are some Screenshots to hopefully help explain....

Don't think behavioral, think data!! The Select function is a behavioral function. It needs to be not only in context, but also used in a behavioral action. You really don't have this in the component.

Instead, create an input property for your Component called SelectedTab. Set the component default to 1

Then Set the Default property of your Gallery to:

Index(Parent._TabItems, Parent.SelectedTab)

Your Gallery Tabs will have the tab that is indicated in the SelectedTab property.

I hope this is helpful for you.

@RandyHayes What do you mean by : 'Parent._TabItems'
in your formula. The formula isn't working for me. Using the Index function I am unable to select a gallery tab (item) which is inside the component. Could you please clarify?
