Use Koda to help you create tabs.

I created this in 30 seconds with Koda.

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 331, 227, 192, 124)
$Tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTab(16, 16, 289, 193)
$TabSheet1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet1")
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 32, 96, 75, 25)
$TabSheet2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet2")
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button2", 192, 176, 75, 25)
$TabSheet3 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet3")
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button3", 192, 48, 75, 25)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

Another thing you can do is to create popup guis for things that don't always need to be seen, such as a settings panel.

Example:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Test", 331, 227, -1, -1)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 24, 24, 121, 21)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 240, 176, 75, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Settings", 232, 24, 75, 25)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 24, 72, 185, 89)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "Edit1")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Button2
            _SettingsPanel()
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _SettingsPanel()


#Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form=
$Form2 = GUICreate("Settings", 331, 227, -1, -1)
$Input1a = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input1", 48, 24, 121, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input2", 48, 56, 121, 21)
$Input3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input3", 48, 88, 121, 21)
$Input4 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Input4", 48, 120, 121, 21)
$Combo1 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("Combo1", 48, 160, 145, 25, BitOR($CBS_DROPDOWN,$CBS_AUTOHSCROLL))
$Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("This", 216, 32, 113, 17)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("That", 216, 64, 113, 17)
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 232, 160, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
#EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ###

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            GUIDelete($Form2)
            ExitLoop
        Case $Button3
            GUIDelete($Form2)
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

EndFunc

seres,

Take a look at the GUIExtender UDF in my sig. It allows you to extend parts of your GUI when needed and retract them when not.
