Display different image in different tabs of TAB control

[HolmesShelock]

This is how my code snippet looks like

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#Include <WindowsConstants.au3>


$hMainWindow = GUICreate('USB AIO', 705, 369)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
GUISetState()

GUICtrlCreateTab(172 + 4, 10 + 4, 523 - 8, 349 - 8)

_GDIPlus_Startup ()
$hMainGraphicObject = _GDIPlus_GraphicsCreateFromHWND ($hMainWindow)

;~ Loading images
$ADD_SCRIPT_BUTTON_IMAGE = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\Images\Add.png")
$PLAY_SCRIPT_BUTTON_IMAGE = _GDIPlus_ImageLoadFromFile(@ScriptDir & "\Images\Play.png")

GUICtrlCreateTabItem('TAB 1')
$ADD_SCRIPT_BUTTON = _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect($hMainGraphicObject, $ADD_SCRIPT_BUTTON_IMAGE, 0, 0, 80, 80, 190, 40, 80, 80)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem('TAB 2')
$PLAY_SCRIPT_BUTTON = _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect($hMainGraphicObject, $PLAY_SCRIPT_BUTTON_IMAGE, 0, 0, 80, 80, 190, 120, 80, 80)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem('')

;~ If I uncomment following lines
;~ $ADD_SCRIPT_BUTTON = _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect($hMainGraphicObject, $ADD_SCRIPT_BUTTON_IMAGE, 0, 0, 80, 80, 190, 40, 80, 80)
;~ $PLAY_SCRIPT_BUTTON = _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect($hMainGraphicObject, $PLAY_SCRIPT_BUTTON_IMAGE, 0, 0, 80, 80, 190, 120, 80, 80)


 While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

The above script shows a dialog box with two empty tabs. Now, if I comment out the following lines

$ADD_SCRIPT_BUTTON = _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect($hMainGraphicObject, $ADD_SCRIPT_BUTTON_IMAGE, 0, 0, 80, 80, 190, 40, 80, 80)
$PLAY_SCRIPT_BUTTON = _GDIPlus_GraphicsDrawImageRectRect($hMainGraphicObject, $PLAY_SCRIPT_BUTTON_IMAGE, 0, 0, 80, 80, 190, 120, 80,

@ line no. 16 & 17 & uncomment the same lines @ line no 26 & 27, then both the tabs contain both the images. But what I want is to have the first image in the first tab & the second image in the second. Why is it happening? Is there any way to accomplish it?

BTW, I turned "Immediate Notification" of topic replies TURNED ON in my profile 7 checked the appropriate check boxes, but didn't get any mail notification of the reply on the thread which I started previously. Does the mail notification work with this board? Since I'm new here, I'm asking it. Please no hard feelings.

HolmesShelock,

AutoIt looks after controls created with native commands within the tab structure - as soon as you create controls with UDFs you have to do all the work.

Look at the Tabs tutorial in the Wiki to see how to do it.

As to the notification when new posts are added, it works fine for me.

Thank you again Melba23. You pointed me to the exact link. Now I understand the second part that why both the images appear on both the tabs. But, I'm still confused about the first part that why NO image is shown in the first case.

HolmesShelock,

I imagine it is something to do with the layering needed for the tab pages - in my experience images and tabs both do strange things to the expected order of controls.
