Function Reference

GUICtrlCreateTabItem

Creates a TabItem control for the GUI.

GUICtrlCreateTabItem ( "text" )

 

Parameters

text The text of the control.

 

Return Value

Success: Returns the identifier (controlID) of the new control.
Failure: Returns 0.

 

Remarks

For setting more information see GUICtrlUpdate....

To select a specific tabitem to be shown when the dialog box open just issue a GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_SHOW) see example.

To terminate the tab control just create a last "tabitem" control with a null text "". The "tabitem" control cannot be painted (too much code ...).

When advanced mode is used, GUICtrlRead($tab,1) will return the controlID instead of index of the clicked tab item.

To create a new control on an existing tabitem use GUISwitch($hWin,$tabitem) to select it and just create your new control. Don't forget to close your tabitem creation with GUICtrlCreateTabItem("").
