Tabs and controls

[Josbe]

I need a confirmation, if this behavior is correct. I have a small example.

The example shows two buttons (show and hide a control); The normal way is using the ID's control,

but I'm trying to use another way for certain script...the main problem is the behavior getting the info from GUIGetCursorInfo( ) and using this method in the tab2...

That function (GUIGetCursorInfo) show the ID of the control of "Tab1" (the control hidden)

Is correct this behavior?

$hwnd = GuiCreate("GUI Example")

GUICtrlCreateTab(20, 30, 320, 350)

$tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1")

$Btn1 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Show CTRL(ID=5)", 120, 100, 120, 50)

$Btn2 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Hide CTRL(ID=6)", 120, 190, 120, 50)

$icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon("Shell32.dll", 1, 250, 150, 50, 40, $SS_SUNKEN)

I will try to investigate if GUIGetCursorInfo( ) can get the id's corresponding to the control of the switched tab.

That's a JON production

As the code is working this will never work because if a match occur on a specific area corresponding to a control the info are updated. As the control in the 2 tabs are stricly the same location only the first one will match so it is wrong for the second tab.

I cannot see how I can correct the code. I leave that to JON comeback. He needs some homework ...

Finally I get a solution without JON, I am proud...

You get it in 3.1.1.30
