Radiance Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Hi, I'm stuck and in need of some explanation. #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Global $gsa_GUI = GUICreate("GUI", 300, 250) $Tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(20, 20) $TabItem1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab1") $Graphic1 = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(30, 50, 200, 100) GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x000000) $TabItem2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab2") GUICtrlCreateTabItem("") $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Hide graphic", 20, 180, 150) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 Sleep(10) $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 GUICtrlSetState($Graphic1, $GUI_HIDE) EndSwitch WEnd Running this script brings up a GUI I made in order to demonste my problem. First of all, the rectangle created with GUICtrlCreateGraphic() is somehow behind the tab item, although it seems to counts as created on it, which you can see by switching to Tab2. Clicking the "Hide graphic" button should actually make the rectangle disappear completely, but it doesn't. Instead the behavior is like this: Clicking the button while Tab1 is active makes the rectangle to appear on all tabs. Clicking the button while Tab2 is active makes the rectangle disappear on every tab. Can someone explain? How can I correctly control visibility of controls on my tab items?How can I make stuff like graphics appear on the tab instead of behind it? For the last one it seems like using GUICtrlSetState($Graphic1, $GUI_ONTOP) is the way to go. Edited February 10, 2016 by Radiance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiance Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) A bit of more explanation: I've got a big GUI with two groups, each containing a massive amount of GUI controls. Clicking a button makes one group invisible and the other one visible. Now using tabs would be the perfect choice since the change appears instantly. Looping through each group using $GUI_HIDE / $GUI_SHOW is possible too but takes long enough to make it look really ugly.
