hi there,  
I need a tip on how to use buttons (e.g. in the toolbar) to navigate "left" or "right", similarly to what would happen on a touchscreen when swiping left and right.  
Is there a readily built function (e.g with the ui\_control node) or other code I can use?  
My homebrewed version is falling down on a number of fronts, including temporarily hidden tabs ...  
I had created the "\<" and "\>" buttons on both sides of the "home" button:

Any points would be highly appreciated!  
Thanks!

I did not see that! Can't believe it's that simple!  
Many thanks!
