i have created card view layout in ahk have problem, have used method of creating set of tabs, , hiding tabs user view outside of viewable program window, users able send commands window cycle through tabs e.g control + tab

i wondering if there better way of forming type of gui , have more control, e.g pass onto next tab (panel?) button press

if there type of panel view have missed can added avoid issue me alot thankyou

i went under assumption wanted disable ctrl+tab , ctrl+shift+tab script still have buttons cycle through tabs.

below you'll find override ctrl+... hotkeys , not allow function sent if gui active, otherwise sends desired keystroke (important because want work in other tabbed applications).

for cycling through tabs w/o ctrl+... hotkeys, name of selected tab, , use guicontrol, choose... select next/previous tab.

finally, @ stop of script, demonstrated can name guis , set them defaults.

; can name guis vs using numbers gui, mycustomname_:default ; setting default tell controls below use gui gui, add, tab, w493 h405 vcardtabs, tab1|tab2|tab3  gui, tab, tab1      gui, add, text,, tab 1     gui, add, button, x352 y330 w100 h30 , next  gui, tab, tab2     gui, add, text,, tab 2     gui, add, button, x352 y330 w100 h30 , next     gui, add, button, x242 y330 w90 h30 ,  gui, tab, tab3       gui, add, text,, tab 3     gui, add, button, x242 y330 w90 h30 ,  gui, show, y259 h379 w479, card view gui return  mycustomname_guiclose: exitapp  $^tab:: {     ifwinnotactive, card view gui         sendinput, ^{tab}     return } $^+tab:: {     ifwinnotactive, card view gui         sendinput, ^+{tab}     return }  buttonback: guicontrolget, name,, cardtabs if (name == "tab2") {     guicontrol, choose, cardtabs, tab1 } else if (name == "tab3") {     guicontrol, choose, cardtabs, tab2 } return  buttonnext: guicontrolget, name,, cardtabs if (name == "tab1") {     guicontrol, choose, cardtabs, tab2 } else if (name == "tab2") {     guicontrol, choose, cardtabs, tab3 } return
