client

First we'll create the window. Then add a tabpanel and couple tabs with some labels in them. Qoute:GuiCreateWindow#Example

local myWindow = guiCreateWindow ( 0, 0, 0.5, 0.4, "Information", true )  -- create a window which has "Information" in the title bar.
local tabPanel = guiCreateTabPanel ( 0, 0.1, 1, 1, true, myWindow )       -- create a tab panel which fills the whole window
local tabMap = guiCreateTab( "Map Information", tabPanel )                -- create a tab named "Map Information" on 'tabPanel'
local tabHelp = guiCreateTab( "Help", tabPanel )                          -- create another tab named "Help" on 'tabPanel'

-- adds a label (text) to each tab
guiCreateLabel( 0.02, 0.04, 0.94, 0.2, "This is information about the current map", true, tabMap )
guiCreateLabel( 0.02, 0.04, 0.94, 0.92, "This is help text.", true, tabHelp )

client

Now let's add the event handler.

function OnChange(selectedTab)
  -- If there is a selected tab.
  if selectedTab ~= nil then
    outputChatBox( "You've changed your active tab." )
  end
end

addEventHandler("onClientGUITabSwitched", root, OnChange)
