Tabs Problem

[quake101]

I have an odd problem and maybe I'm just overlooking something...

I have created a tabbed layout on my GUI and added a label and a button to the first tab. The problem I'm having is the label and button do not show up unless you view another tab first then go back to the first tab. I have looked at the help file and searched the forums here and I believe I'm doing everything correctly. Please see my code below:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$GUI_Main = GuiCreate("Test", 400, 400)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI_Main)

$tabs = GuiCtrlCreateTab(10, 90, 380, 300)
GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1")
$label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label1", 14, 180, 50, 20)
$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 14, 120, 100)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab2")

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab3")
    
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd

just move this line from red to green:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$GUI_Main = GuiCreate("Test", 400, 400)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI_Main)

$tabs = GuiCtrlCreateTab(10, 90, 380, 300)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1")

$label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label1", 14, 180, 50, 20)

$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 14, 120, 100)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab2")

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab3")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI_Main)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop

WEnd

I found my problem.... GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI_Main) was in the wrong location.... (It's been one of them days.. arg)

@andygo and quake101

You are both wrong. The fault was that the tab definitions were not ended which is essential or you will get all sorts of problems.

Try this

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$GUI_Main = GuiCreate("Test", 400, 400)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI_Main);it doesn't matter where you have the line to show the gui

$tabs = GuiCtrlCreateTab(10, 90, 380, 300)
$tab1 = GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1")
$label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Label1", 14, 180, 50, 20)
$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 14, 120, 100)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab2")

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Tab3")
GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("");end the tab definition, you must do this
GuiCtrlSetState($tab1,$GUI_SHOW);set tab1 to be shown

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
WEnd
