Lazycat 13 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I never see such GUI in any application. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>BTW this is common practice in the Delphi and C++ Builder programs (using page control, but don't know what it is internally). For example screenshot from IsoBuster:Imo this looks ugly and it's really unconvenient. Much better options layouts with tree at left.

CyberSlug 6 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 It turns out that my favorites shareware program, fineprint, has nested tabs. (They are, in fact, SysTabControl32's) Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

jpm 128 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Thanks everybody for this compilation of program using nested tab. I think we will stay with CyberSlug simulation due to the heavy bounding of the code handling tab with only one GUI. If a day I found a bright solution to overcome this limitation I will implement it for your satisfaction( in fact mine too) Link to post Share on other sites
Nova 0 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Quick question, why dose the parent tab get overlapped by the child tab ? By defination shouldnt the $psuedoTab sit on top of the $regularTab instead of the $regularTab sitting on top of the $psuedoTab ? Heres an example of the problem Im having ! expandcollapse popup; CyberSlug - 7 April 2005 ; Based on http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=6241&hl=multiple++tab #include <GuiConstants.au3> $parentGui = GUICreate("Example", 1000,800) $regularTab = GuiCtrlCreateTab(20,20, 960,740) GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("foo") $button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Button...", 80, 90, 100, 20) GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("bar") $psuedoTab = _createAnotherTab($parentGui, 50, 220, 900, 550) _createAnotherTabItem($parentGui, $psuedoTab[0], "one") $cool = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Cool", 10, 150, 100, 30) GuiCtrlSetState($cool, $GUI_SHOW) _createAnotherTabItem($parentGui, $psuedoTab[0], "two") $another = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Another", 10, 50, 100, 30) guiSetstate(@SW_SHOW, $parentGui) While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit If $msg = $button Then MsgBox(4096,"Notify", "Button clicked") If $msg = $cool Then MsgBox(4096,"Notify", "Cool clicked") If $msg = $another Then MsgBox(4096,"Notify", "Another clicked") If $msg = $psuedoTab[1] Then If GuiCtrlRead($msg) = 0 Then GuiCtrlSetState($regularTab, $GUI_SHOW) If GuiCtrlRead($regularTab) = 0 Then GuiCtrlSetState($button, $GUI_SHOW) If GuiCtrlRead($regularTab) = 1 Then GuiCtrlSetState($button, $GUI_HIDE) Else GuiCtrlSetState($regularTab, $GUI_HIDE) GuiCtrlSetState($button, $GUI_HIDE) EndIf EndIf If $msg = $regularTab Then If GuiCtrlRead($regularTab) = 0 Then GuiCtrlSetState($button, $GUI_SHOW) If GuiCtrlRead($regularTab) = 1 Then GuiCtrlSetState($button, $GUI_HIDE) EndIf WEnd ; Create ANOTHER tab control at the specified coordinates, and return a handle (window handle)... ; array[0] = window handle, array[1] = control id Func _createAnotherTab($parentGui, $left, $top, $width, $height) Local $style = 0x56000000;WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_CLIPCHILDREN Local $tabCtrlWin = GuiCreate("", $width, $height, $left,$top, $WS_CHILD, -1, $parentGui) Local $tabCtrlID = GuiCtrlCreateTab(0, 0, $width, $height) GuiSetState() GuiSwitch($parentGui) Local $array[2] $array[0] = $tabCtrlWin $array[1] = $tabCtrlID Return $array EndFunc Func _createAnotherTabItem($parentGui, $tabHandle, $text) GuiSwitch($tabHandle) Local $itemID = GuiCtrlCreateTabItem($text) If $text = "" Then GuiSwitch($parentGui);remember null text denotes "closing" tabitem Return $itemID EndFunc Link to post Share on other sites

jpm 128 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 as I understand the Cyberslug code manage the display of the tab on tab. the main tab is the tab which look in front is a smaller tab control. the received msg manage the hiding/showing of what is needed. Perhaps CyberSlug can help more. I understand it is a little tricky to design such tab on tab but for the time being before I got bright ideas you have to exercise yours Link to post Share on other sites
Nova 0 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Tnx for ur reply jpm ! Id really appriachate some further help on this issue ! It seems theres been quite a bit of posting going on this evening.... I dont want this topic to get burried ! Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSlug 6 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I meant to post earlier, but jpm summed it up pretty well. With multiple tab controls, you have to manually show/hide the controls. When you click on a tab item, you need to determine what needs shown or hidden. (By the way, the reason the "psuedotab" is actually the bigger tab in my example is because I could not get the tabs to disaplay correct if nested the other way. Psuedotab within real tab just didn't work...) Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!

Nova 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Psuedotab within real tab just didn't work... I found the same problem when I tryed to make the guictrlcreatetab the primary tab !Tnx for your help,Nova Link to post Share on other sites
Nova 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) With multiple tab controls, you have to manually show/hide the controlsSo editing ur above code..... Changing $psuedoTab[1] into $psuedoTab[2] should show the Guicreatetab in the second tab item of the $psuedoTab.......rite ?How come I get an array error msg when I try this ? While 1 $msg = GUIGetMsg() If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit If $msg = $psuedoTab[2] Then If GuiCtrlRead($msg) = 0 Then GuiCtrlSetState($regularTab, $GUI_SHOW) Else GuiCtrlSetState($regularTab, $GUI_HIDE) EndIf EndIf WEnd Edited April 11, 2005 by Nova Link to post Share on other sites
Nova 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 I think ive figured it out GuiCtrlRead($regularTab) returns the selected tabitem number ! Ill mess with it when I get home ! Cheers, Nova Link to post Share on other sites
