Solved how to determine active tab in TabBar?

[mzimmers]

Hi all -

A view in my app uses a TabBar with three TabButtons:

TabBar {
  property var tabNames: ["TabOne", "TabTwo", "TabThree"]

  Repeater {
    model: tabNames
    
    TabButton {
      id: tabButton
      text: tabNames[index]

Which produces this lovely display:

The legend at the lower right should only display when the first tab ("Yield") is selected. The original programmer attempted to do this with a property:

Q_PROPERTY(bool viewingTheYield READ ViewingTheYield NOTIFY EventViewingTheYieldChanged)
bool PlateNavigation::ViewingTheYield() const {
  return m_viewingTheYield;
}

If the user clicks on one of the other tabs, the legend disappears (as it should). But, if the user then loads a new report, this display returns to the last tab the previous report had selected (which it shouldn't). Somehow I need to control which tab is active...how do I do that? I can't find anything in the docs about it.

Thanks...

Sigh...I love when I find the answer immediately after posting...

Container currentIndex

TabBar {
  id: root
  currentIndex: {
      if (plateNavViewModel.viewingTheYield) {
          0
      } else {
          2
      }
  }

I know the hard-coding is bad, but...it works.
