Entropy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Hi there! In the GUI controls Demo () there is example of Tabs control. But when i trying to add such control to my GUI, it looks flat and ugly. I tried different combination of styles, but the only progress i achieved is $TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED. But In this case i cant create any labels to my tabs. Can any one help me with this? P.S. Sorry for my english, and maybe noobie question. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 18, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2011 Entropy,Welcome to the AutoIt forum. Could you please post the code you used to produce the "flat and ugly" tabs - and perhaps a picture as well if possible. Then we can look into why you are getting this result. And what OS are you running? If you are dissatisfied with the API tab controls (and you would not be alone!) you might like to look at funkey's OwnTab UDF.

Moderators Melba23 Posted November 18, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2011 Entropy, I believe that the differnce in style is the choice of the theme selected in Windows. The original picture looks like it was taken in XP while the later one is in Win7/Vista. So you might have to play with your display settings to get what you want - all AutoIt does is tell the API to produce a tab control, Windows determines how it is displayed.

Is there any way to force XP style? If i use $TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED it looks that way, but i don't actually understand what that style do. Titles does not shows thats the only visible effect. )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 18, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 18, 2011 Entropy,Forcing XP style will affect all the GUIs on the machine - are you sure you want to do that? If so, then search on the forum as there are many scripts to let you interact with the "Appearance Settings".

Entropy Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 The strange thing: $TCS_VERTICAL affects the same way that i want. But tabs is vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
