dhtmlxTabbar : onClick?

Hi, I am wondering how to set an onClick Handler. I read through the knowledge base and found something called setOnSelectHandler, but it doesn't work for what I need.

Let's say I want to call a function, tabclick, after a tab is clicked, and tabclick will alert a message. If I use setOnSelectHandler, and at the same time, I used mytabbar.setTabActive(tabId), it will continuously alert the user since the tab is "selected". But I need the alert to pop up once, after a tab is clicked.

There is something in the API events list called "onClick" but I am not sure how to use that?

Hope that makes sense!
Thanks in advance.

If you are using setTabActive from onSelect event handler it will generate new call on onSelect event and as result you will get event recursion.
Just add a bit of code to resolve it.

var nativeEvent = true;
tabbar.setOnSelectHandler(function(tabId){
   if (!nativeEvent) return true;
   nativeEvent = false;

   //any code here
   mytabbar.setTabActive(tabId), //will not cause resursion anymore
  ....

   nativeEvent = true;
   return true;
});
