Tabbed interface - multiple actions question

Answered Victor Conesa ● 9 years ago

Hi all! I have a basic events question: How do you change the style of multiple elements in one single action?

Say I have a tabbed interface with 20 tabs (buttons) and everytime I click one of the tabs I want to style it as “selected” and style all other tabs as “unselected”.

In Axure I can achieve this in 2 single actions, basically “1. set this as active” and “2. set all others as inactive”.

Right now, from my understanding of how Justinmind works, I would have to:

1. Create a “style button as inactive” action

2. Copy it and paste it 20 times

3. Modify the copies so each target a different button

and finally.

4. Repeat step 3 *20 times* - remember I have 20 different buttons.

I certainly hope I’m missing something very basic, because the above scenario sounds like a nightmare for just a simple tabbed interface (and I don't event want to imagine what it would be like If I just decide to add an extra tab!)

Am I’m missing some special widget that has all this functionality included? How do you Justinmind PROs do it?

Thanks!
