Should Tab or TabItem notify?

[CyberSlug]

I think this was mentioned this before, but anyway: When a tabitem is clicked, the notification ID is for the main tab control itself.

Additionally, GuiCtrlRead on the tab returns the tabitem INDEX instead of the tabitem ID.....

I think the direct tabitem ID would be more useful...

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("Example")

$tab = GuiCtrlCreateTab(80, 80, 300, 200)
$t1 = GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("one")
    GuiCtrlCreateButton("example button", 200, 200)
$t2 = GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("two")
$t3 = GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("three")
GuiCtrlCreateTabItem('')

GuiCtrlCreateLabel("TabItem ID's:  " & $t1 & ", " & $t2 & ", " & $t3, 10, 10)
GuiSetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    ToolTip($msg, 0, 0)
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    If $msg = $tab Then
        MsgBox(4096,"Tab clicked", "Tad index is " & GuiCtrlRead($tab)) 
    EndIf
WEnd

Presently the correspondance between index and id is not done due to the fact that if a tabitem is deleted a renumbering occurs.

I left to the programmer the responsability to do that.

I agree it can be a good idea if not too costly.

I had a use for it to notify the other day, but I worked around it. I think it would have made it alot easier though if it did notify.

Found the idea use OPT("GUIEventCompatibilityMode",2) and 3.1.1.4
