Hi:

I want my tabs to be created and closed(deleted/destroyed) with an icon on the tab button, like in IE-8 where one creates a new tab and closes by clicking on 'X' sign.

Is it possible?

Please help.

I would normally resort to the GuiTab.au3 UDF (_GuiCtrlTab_* functions in help file) and event mode, keeping the handles to the tab and tabitems in an array. But here's an attempt to keep it simple with the native GUI functions:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ListViewConstants.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

; GUI
$Admin = GUICreate("ADMINISTRATOR", 1000, 700)

; TAB
$tabs = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 986, 600, $TCS_FIXEDWIDTH)

; Tab items
$TAB_1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 1")
$idButton_Add = GUICtrlCreateButton("ADD", 20, 100, 100, 30)
$idButton_Del = GUICtrlCreateButton("DELETE", 20, 150, 100, 30)
$TAB_2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 2")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState()

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $idButton_Add
            ConsoleWrite("Debug: Add" & @LF)
            If $TAB_2 = 0 Then
                $TAB_2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 2")
                GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_SHOW)
                GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
            EndIf
        Case $idButton_Del
            ConsoleWrite("Debug: Delete" & @LF)
            If $TAB_2 <> 0 Then
                GUICtrlDelete($TAB_2)
                $TAB_2 = 0
            EndIf
    EndSwitch
WEnd

@PsaltyDS

Thanks so much. Exactly as I wanted it. Very simple to understand and use.

Thanks again.
