Hello! I am trying to figure out how to nest a tab control within another tab control. The help file says that one GUI can not have more than one Tab control and they show this example: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500) GUISetState() ; Create child GUIs to hold tabs $hTab_Win0 = GUICreate("", 400, 200, 50, 20, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $hGUI) $hTab_0 = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 380, 180) $hTab_00 = GUICtrlCreateTabitem("00") GUICtrlCreateButton("00", 160, 90, 80, 30) $hTab_01 = GUICtrlCreateTabitem("01") GUICtrlCreateButton("01", 160, 90, 80, 30) GUICtrlCreateTabitem ("") GUISetState() $hTab_Win1 = GUICreate("", 400, 200, 50, 250, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $hGUI) $hTab_1 = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 380, 180) $hTab_10 = GUICtrlCreateTabitem("10") GUICtrlCreateButton("10", 160, 90, 80, 30) $hTab_11 = GUICtrlCreateTabitem("11") GUICtrlCreateButton("11", 160, 90, 80, 30) GUICtrlCreateTabitem ("") GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd They are creating 2 Gui's and each one has its own Tab control, it follows the rules and works as expected! Now, my question is - Can I create a GUI on one of the Tab Items and put a tab control onto that GUI with its own tab items? I have tried changing the parent to $hTab_Win0, I also tried $hTab_0 as a parent and neither one of those options gives me what I want.
