Nobody else commented? Oh well, I'll try! Here's one way (uses the user registry, works if you don't have the same mimic open more than once on the same client):
1) Put each tab into a separate Layer on the mimic
2) In the Layer setup dialog, edit the Visibility Expression using a registry key:
Ensure the actual tabs are on a different layer which is always visible - because they need to be clicked.
Do this for each layer/tab and use a different number for each layer (3 is used here).
On each tab, add a Pick Item. Choose the Registry type of pick action.
Enter the registry item name and value corresponding to that tab.
You probably want to animate the tab in some way to show it is selected.
You can use, for example, the Font Style property to show bold text when selected:
iif(REGISTRY('Area Control',1) = 3,1,0)
By using the registry, items keep the same visibility when mimics are closed and reopened.
See the F1 help - search for "Using Registry Settings to Control the Visibility of Layers on a Mimic".
There are other ways, for example using script.
You can put script into functions, or directly into Pick Actions.
Your script would make direct change to layer or item properties such as Visibility:
Navigate in the help to: " Core Reference > Coding > Scripting > Mimic.Layers"
