The tab content is a surface, we can perform various actions with surface functions. To obtain a surface on the item tab, we can use the following function.

ui_tab_get_surface (control, index);

Return: Surface id

Argument control is the handle of ui_tab_create(...); function. While the index is an index tab you want to select.

tabMenu = ui_tab_create (16, 64, 320, 32, 256);

ui_item_add (tabMenu, "Armor");
ui_item_add (tabMenu, "Weapon");
ui_item_add (tabMenu, "Item");

var surface0 = ui_tab_get_surface (tabMenu, 0);
var surface1 = ui_tab_get_surface (tabMenu, 1);
var surface2 = ui_tab_get_surface (tabMenu, 2);

surface_set_target (surface0);
// Draw tab element here for Armor
surface_reset_target ();

surface_set_target (surface0);
// Draw tab element here for Weapon
surface_reset_target ();

surface_set_target (Item);
// Draw tab element here for Armor
surface_reset_target ();

You can also use the handle and calling the property "ui_tab_surface" as follows.

tabMenu = ui_tab_create (16, 64, 320, 32, 256);

tab0 = ui_item_add (tabMenu, "Armor");
tab1 = ui_item_add (tabMenu, "Weapon");
tab2 = ui_item_add (tabMenu, "Item");

var surface0 = tab0 [? "Ui_tab_surface"];
var surface1 = tab1 [? "Ui_tab_surface"];
var surface2 = tab2 [? "Ui_tab_surface"];

surface_set_target (surface0);
// Draw tab element here for Armor
surface_reset_target ();

surface_set_target (surface0);
// Draw tab element here for Weapon
surface_reset_target ();

surface_set_target (Item);
// Draw tab element here for Armor
surface_reset_target ();
