How to dashboard tab name

Question

Hi,
My dashboard has 10 tabs (pages). 5 of them are main tabs which are shown all the time. The rest of the tabs are sub-tabs and hidden so user don't get confused. When user navigate to a sub-tab via a link in main tab, I'd like to show the tab name up next to the dashboard name. Something like
myDashboard -> myTab
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you in advance for your ideas.

You will have to write a VBScript to achieve what you want.
Here is an example. This VBScript returns the name of the first tab:
     Set XLHandle = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
     XLHandle.DisplayAlerts = False
     Set XLBook = XLHandle.WorkBooks.Open("<path>\<file>.xls")
     Set XLSheet = XLBook.Sheets.Item(1)
     wscript.echo XLSheet.Name
     XLBook.Save
     XLBook.Close
     XLHandle.Quit
     Set XLSheet = Nothing
     Set XLBook = Nothing
     Set XLHandle = Nothing
Call the script tab.vbs from within your DS script and assign the result to a global variable.
     $TabName = exec( 'cmd','cscript //nologo C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Documents\\BI4B\\tab.vbs',0);
