TabControl

Description

The HotTrack property specifies whether or not the tabs or buttons in a TabControl object ( which are represented by TabButton objects), are automatically highlighted by the mouse pointer.

HotTrack is a single number with the value 0 (no highlighting) or 1. The default is 0.

If HotTrack is 1 and the Style property of the TabControl is 'Tabs' or 'Buttons', the text defined by the Caption property of the TabButton is highlighted when the mouse pointer is placed over the tab or button. If Style is 'FlatButtons', the button is highlighted by being raised.

The value of HotTrack is effective only when the object is created with ⎕WC.
