Hello,

I found the above example of a Tab in a Tab. I like to know if there is an easy way to get another tab in the child_tab; so first you have

tab "Child1" | "Child2"

then tab "1" | tab "2" under tab "Child1"

then eg. tab "11" | tab "22" under tab "1"

I tried to make tab "1" as some kind of a parent tab but I didn't succeed. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Thnx,

Rodger

Rodger,

Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

I am afraid not - one tab control per GUI, so using child windows is the only way to go if you want multiple tabs.

Hi,

maybe using "TCS_Multiline" gives you already what you want.
