qwert Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The example below is from the help file for _GUICtrlTab_Create. I've being trying to fashion a simple tab panel without any lines or button-style tabs. (I know how to do it by having actual buttons control the tab panel selections.) I can't help thinking there must be a way using styles and extended styles. But nothing I've tried gets rid of all the visual elements. Thanks in advance for any help.

BrewManNH Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Instead of using buttons, use labels and you can use them like buttons when clicked on. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

qwert Posted September 22, 2016 Author Share Posted September 22, 2016 Thanks for responding. Yes, I misstated. I have used labels in that exact way ... right after learning the true buttons come with their own set of visual "baggage", not the least of which is looking different in different OS versions. Do you feel the label method is the best solution, rather that "detune" the true tab panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwert Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 After carefully reading the 20+ control styles for tab panels and then trying some combinations, I thought I'd found a standard choice that would work. But it didn't quite work. Does anyone know why $TCS_FOCUSNEVER still allows the current tab to be "framed"? If I can turn that selection highlighting off, I'll have exactly what I need.
