Tomoya Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I have been recently using a program that allowed me to "capture" programs and put them into a tabbed GUI so I could switch between them. It looks like the program was written in C# or C++ but I was wondering if it was possible to do something like this in autoit. Anyone have any ideas on how this could be done? I was thinking that it may be able to be done with WinSetState() and placing them in he tab controls coordinates some how although I am not for sure. Any ideas or suggestions would be nice before I try to jump into this. I would consider my self a novice in autoit but a total amateur in C#.
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted February 21, 2013 Moderators Posted February 21, 2013 Hi, Tomoya. You can definitely do something similar in AutoIt. I would begin by taking a look at GUICtrlCreateTab in the help file, and working through the examples therein. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
