Tab Does Not Maximize

[dickieknee]

I have incuded a $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX for my Gui window and when i hit the maximize box

then all controls adjust in size except for the TAB which remains fixed to the$min_width and

$min_height,

I removed all variable associations for the width and height and just had fixed numbers

but this still yielded no change in the tab size

one solution would be to make the whole Gui window the desktop size and adjust all co-ord values

and not have a $WSMAXIMIZEBOX

but it would be so much nicer to be able to maximize and restore back to original size

ok i have added the style $TCS_BUTTONS to the TAB control and this seems to mazimise the

tab to a degree but i would have liked the normal tab operation

any other suggestions ??

Try this (not sure if it will work or not)

$GUI_W = 400

$GUI_H = 250

GUICreate('My GUI',$GUI_W,$GUI_H)

GUICtrlCreateTab($GUI_W,$GUI_H,$TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("One")

GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Sample Tab with tabItems", 20, 50)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Two")

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Three")

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("")

; GUI MESSAGE LOOP

GuiSetState()

While GuiGetMsg() <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

WEnd

no still is not working, surely it cannot be so difficult ?
