Determine what object is being displayed by container

Hi

Is there any way to determine what object is being displayed by a container? I mean, I have a report with three objects, all of them are inside the same container, what I want is to show in the report only the object that is being displayed inside the container but I dont know what property can be used to do this.

Thanks!

No, I'm afraid not. This is one of the (several) weaknesses of containers. You might be best using multiple separare objects with show/calc conditions to decide which one to activate.

If you don't mind the extra effort, you could create and format Text labels to look and behave like the tabs in a container.

- The added advantage of this is that you can assign actions to the text labels, such as showing and hiding certain charts depending on which button is clicked, changing variable values, etc...

- The disadvantage of this is that you'll have more objects to maintain and manage.
