Switching pages in PathPilot by script

I think you were on the right track, but it takes two moves to get there. First you have to switch to the offsets tab:



Then you have to switch to the work tab (within the offsets tab):



So the two lines together took me to the Work tab in the Offsets tab:



To expand a little on how I got there (because I'm by no means a Glade expert), the function "set_current_notebook_page_by_id" in us_misc.py expects the arguments "notebook, page_id".

Following that I looked for the relationships in tormach_mill_ui.glade and at line 296, I saw that the GtkNotebook "notebook" has the GtkFixed objects "notebook_main_fixed", "notebook_settings_fixed", "notebook_offsets_fixed", etc. below it.

In the "notebook_offsets_fixed" section, there's another ,GtkNotebook below it "offsets_notebook". Below that, we have the GtkFixed objects "took_offsets_fixed" and "work_offsets_fixed".

I should mention that I had a glance at the method "handle_hotkey_focus_mdi_line" in ui_common.py, because I knew they switched tabs and grabbed the MDI whenever you press alt + enter (from any tab). I figured the code should be similar. They do some checks to see if a program is running, etc. I am not sure if you need those in your application or not, but it might not be a bad idea.

I could make a sticky topic called something like "Modification Code Snippets", or something similar if you think that would be useful.  

I fear it will likely get muddy though with people eventually asking questions, or adding discussion to a snippet, etc.  

But I'm willing if you that's in line with what you were thinking?

How's this?
