CloudD901 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 This is my first post at these forums so please forgive me if I miss any info you may need to help. I have been using AutoIt for quite some time now but haven't used tabs much. What I am trying to do is create tabbed section in my window but have the tabs appear in the right side on the top of the control (opposite of default). I have tried many of the control styles that I found in the help reference but am unable to find the right one or combination. If someone knows a work around or the correct control style that would be great. Thanks.

In case you had not noticed immediately, the entire window is reversed! So it might not be quite what you were looking for!

CloudD901 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Posted January 9, 2010 Close, but not quite. The tabs looked perfect, but I need the window to stay normal... lol That is cool though.

Moderators Melba23 Posted January 9, 2010 Moderators Posted January 9, 2010 cloudd901,Just on the off-chance I tried applying the "RightToLeft" extended style to the tab itself rather than the whole GUI....#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $gui = GUICreate ("Mirrored Test", 400, 300) $tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 200, 100, -1, $WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL) $tab0 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab0") GUICtrlCreateLabel("label0", 30, 80, 50, 20) $tab0OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK0", 20, 50, 50, 20) $tab0input = GUICtrlCreateInput("default", 80, 50, 70, 20) $tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab----1") GUICtrlCreateLabel("label1", 30, 80, 50, 20) $tab1combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 20, 50, 60, 120) GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Trids|CyberSlug|Larry|Jon|Tylo", "Jon") ; default Jon $tab1OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK1", 80, 50, 50, 20) $tab2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("tab2") GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_SHOW) ; will be display first GUICtrlCreateLabel("label2", 30, 80, 50, 20) $tab2OK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK2", 140, 50, 50) GUICtrlCreateTabItem("") ; end tabitem definition GUICtrlCreateLabel("label3", 20, 130, 50, 20) GUISetState () While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg () Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEndI told you we helped most of the time!

M23That's sweet!!! Thanks. I've started with a workaround that involved a blank label over the left tab and a script that would unselect the tab if the user happened to have found it. Now this works great.
