Desynchronization of areas

[RADIOFARO]

Good behavior.
All areas can have it own active tab



Bad behavior.
Switch tab in one Area also change tab in other.



How Desynchronize Tabs and its content in single Area type, single Tab Panel?

Ok. Solved.

I done it with region id. And if use UI elements which dont change his visual states (menu)

import bpy
from bpy.props import IntProperty

global reg_map
reg_map = {}

def map_region(id, item = 1):
    reg_map[id] = item
    return    

class tabs_switch(bpy.types.Operator):
    bl_idname = "tabs.switch"
    bl_label = "Tabs Switch"

    menu_item = bpy.props.IntProperty(name="Menu item", default = 1)

    def execute(self, context):

        if bpy.context.area.type != "VIEW_3D":
            return {'FINISHED'}

        reg_id = bpy.context.area.regions[1].id

        if not reg_id in reg_map:
            map_region(id = reg_id)
        else:
            reg_map[reg_id] = self.menu_item

        return{'FINISHED'}


class tabs_menu(bpy.types.Menu):
    bl_label = "Switch Tab"

    def draw(self, context):
        layout = self.layout
        layout.operator("tabs.switch", text="Open Tab 1", icon='COLOR_RED')
        layout.operator("tabs.switch", text="Open Tab 2", icon='COLOR_GREEN').menu_item = 2
        layout.operator("tabs.switch", text="Open Tab 3", icon='COLOR_BLUE').menu_item = 3
        layout.separator()
        layout.operator("wm.splash", icon='BLENDER')


class TabsPanel(bpy.types.Panel):
    bl_label = "Menu"
    bl_space_type = 'VIEW_3D'
    bl_region_type = 'TOOLS'
    selected = 1

    def draw(self, context):
        layout = self.layout

        reg_id = bpy.context.area.regions[1].id
        if not reg_id in reg_map:
            map_region(id = reg_id)
            return
        else:
            self.selected = reg_map[reg_id]

        a_type = bpy.context.area.type
        r_type = bpy.context.area.regions[1].type
        r_id = bpy.context.area.regions[1].id  

        layout.menu("tabs_menu")

        if self.selected == 1:

            row = layout.row()
            row.label(icon='COLOR_RED', text ='TAB 1')
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('area type: '+ a_type)
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('region type: ' + r_type)
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('region id: ' + str(r_id))

        elif self.selected == 2:

            row = layout.row(align=True)
            row.label(icon='COLOR_GREEN', text ='TAB 2')
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('area type: '+ a_type)
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('region type: ' + r_type)
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('region id: ' + str(r_id))

        elif self.selected == 3:

            row = layout.row(align=True)
            row.label(icon='COLOR_BLUE', text ='TAB 3')
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('area type: '+ a_type)
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('region type: ' + r_type)
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('region id: ' + str(r_id))
        else:
            row = layout.row()
            row.label('Unknown TAB selected!')


def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(tabs_switch)
    bpy.utils.register_class(tabs_menu)
    bpy.utils.register_class(TabsPanel)

def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(tabs_switch)
    bpy.utils.register_class(tabs_menu)
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(TabsPanel)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    register()

Anybody know how get Area identificator?
In old Blender was GetAreaID() function

[RADIOFARO]

It usable without Area ID

You can replace this:

    reg_id = bpy.context.area.regions[1].id

    if not reg_id in reg_map:
        map_region(id = reg_id)
    else:
        reg_map[reg_id] = self.menu_item

To this:

    ar = bpy.context.area

    if not ar in reg_map:
        map_region(id = ar)
    else:
        reg_map[ar] = self.menu_item

Experiments with this metod

Remember selected Editor and Tools in dictionary and use Area as identificator.
