Hello,

I'm trying to get a function where i can choose the Dashboard Tab via diefferent buttons.  
What i mean i have a startind dashboard, where i can choose between 3 buttons.  
Button 1 shows Dashboard x, Button 2 dashboard y etc.

I think i have to use the ui\_control but i don't know directly how.

Thanks for your answers

Martin

Hello and welcome.  
First thing to do is to read the help of `ui_control` node. There is very clear explanation how to change tabs.
