tabbed interface

[ggg]

How does one handle a window with tabs at the top. The tabs don't

seem to be associated with controls.

For example, the Wireless Network Connection Status window

on XP has General and Support tabs.

Hi ggg

I have no idea why do you think that for instance this tab-control is _no_ control...

Did you use "Autoit Window Info" for getting details about the control?

So just try "SysTabControl321".

Or didn't I understand it right what you mean?

But the SysTabControl321 control includes both tabs so you can't tell one

from another.

If each tab had a separate control it would not be a problem.

You could use "ControlCommand("", "", "SysTabControl321", "TabRight", "") to move to the 'right' tab sheet.

I think I am getting closer but am still having problems.

The first part of my scirpt is below.

The Send command just navigates to the window and that seems ok.

However, the message box never seems to appear unless I manually

click on the Wireless Network Connection Status window at which

point it does appear.

Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

----

; start the Wireless Connection Status window

Send("{LWINDOWN}{LWINUP}ss{RIGHT}nw{ENTER}")

; MsgBox with current tab number

WinWaitActive("Wireless Network Connection Status", "")

ControlFocus("Wireless Network Connection Status", "", 12320)

$tab = ControlCommand("Wireless Network Connection Status", "", 12320, "CurrentTab", "")

MsgBox(0, "", $tab)

Exit

I think the problem is that the control is a SysTabControl321 but

the ControlCommand help indicates that it works with a

SysTabControl32.

Is there some alternate approach that will work here?
