When you try to activate a tab with "/did -f" inside the dialog INIT event it fails (but doing it via a timer works):

Code:

dialog TestTabActivate {
  title TestTabActivate
  size -1 -1 100 100
  option dbu
  tab "Tab 1", 1, 2 2 96 96
  tab "Tab 2", 2
  tab "Tab 3", 3
}

on *:dialog:TestTabActivate:init:0: {
  did -f $dname 2
}

alias TestTab dialog -mdh TestTabActivate TestTabActivate

vs.

Code:

dialog TestTabActivate {
  title TestTabActivate
  size -1 -1 100 100
  option dbu
  tab "Tab 1", 1, 2 2 96 96
  tab "Tab 2", 2
  tab "Tab 3", 3
}

on *:dialog:TestTabActivate:init:0: {
  .timer 1 0 did -f $dname 2
}

alias TestTab dialog -mdh TestTabActivate TestTabActivate

That is because the initdialog event takes place before the dialog is visible, so it may not be possible to activate some types of dialog items. As you have discovered, you will need to use the timer in this case.
