Try CTRL+TAB

With CTRL+TAB, I can navigate from one tab to another.

The tabs available in the "Properties" window are "General" and "Advanced"
If I include the line "CTRL+TAB" in the script.

If the properities window opens with "General" tab initially, my script will point to "Advanced" tab. If the properties window opens with "Advanced" tab, then my script will point to "General" tab.

Is there any way, where I can point to "advanced" tab, irrespective of whether the window opens with "general" or "advanced" tabs.

This solved my problem partially. I could findout which tab was selected. similarly, if I want to second tab to get selected, irrespective of any tab that is present, how can I do it.

Well one way ... if this allows you to determine which tab is selected and you want to select the 2nd tab surely a simple calculation will tell you how many times you need to CTRL-TAB or CTRL-SHIFT-TAB to get to the second tab ?

Well, that is a good idea. Please let me know if there is some other direct way.
