possible to add background color to a tab?

[t0ddie]

well??? is it possible to add background color to tabs?

when i put this in my script...

$background = GUICtrlCreatePic(@DesktopDir & "\key\config\test.jpg", 0, 0, 560, 490)

the tabs dont show at all. this was all i could think of. also, i tried setting the gui color, but it did not effect the tabs.

ALSO... i use this for a few pictures on my gui.

GUICtrlCreateAvi(@DesktopDir & "\key\config\fire.avi", 0, 0, 440, 32, 32, $ACS_AUTOPLAY)

but it shows on all of the tabs.

is there a way to put a picture on only one tab, and not have it be on them all?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

first link, actually, i was more or less wondering if there was any way to detect what tab a user is on.

for second link,

i updated since, i want to know if there is a way to "force" hiding the window, and not use the macro.

ty for your ideas so far. i am eagerly waiting to hear youyr other ideas!

First i use this******

$Favorites_jpg = @HomeDrive & "\Temp\Favorites-bk.jpg"

FileInstall("C:\XPClean-web\Settings\XPClean-pics\Favorites-Backgnd-jpg.jpg", $Favorites_jpg)

then this*********

$tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem(" My Favorites ")

GUICtrlCreatePic($Favorites_jpg, 10, 31, 491, 321, $SS_SUNKEN)

GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DEFBUTTON) ; will display this tab first

........ bla...bla...bla

and this is my result************

This pic only shows on this tab and i have the same setup with a different pic in every tab

i think this will fix your problem with tabs and pictures

also ******************* for color

1. when i accidently did not install the pic correctly "wrong name".. but did the above

it changed the color to tan

2. recently i did this for color

GuiCreate("*XPClean Menu* )

GUISetBkColor ("")

did all my set up

and put it in again here*******

GuiSetState()

GUISetBkColor ("")

While 1

* the background was black

thanks for responding...and

HOPE THIS HELPS TOO! 8)

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$Favorites_jpg = @DesktopDir & "\key\config\test2.jpg"
FileInstall("C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\key\config\test.jpg", $Favorites_jpg)


$GUI = GUICreate("testing", 510, 390)
guisetstate()

GUICtrlCreateTab(0, 22, 510, 390)

$tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem(" My Favorites ")
GUICtrlCreatePic($Favorites_jpg, 0, 22, 200, 200, $SS_SUNKEN)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DEFBUTTON); will display this tab first

while 1
    WEnd

i did this to test it out, and i dont get any picture displaying at all.

also, i was wondering if there is a way to "detect" what tab the user is on.

global $tabdetect ; or something.......

like, they click tab 3 out of 5 tabs.. for example,

the variable $tabdetect would have a value of 3

and they click tab 1 out of 5 tabs..

the variable $tabdetect would have a value of 1

anything like that?

and i cant get the picture to display, whats wrong with the code?

EDITED

First

guisetstate()

this goes just before

"While 1"

Second

in previous versions of autoit there was'nt much for tab controls

but in ver 3.1.1+++

there is an "include" called

#include <GuiTab.au3>.... i'm not sure wjhat all it can do...but

i found this under 3.1.1+++ help
