$pic = "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\1Click-Optimizer\skins\Backgrnd.jpg"

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI Tab", 400, 300)  ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

;GUISetBkColor(0x00E0FFFF)
GUISetFont(9, 300)

GUICtrlCreatePic($pic, 1, 1, 398, 298) ; comment out and it works
GUICtrlSetState( -1, $GUI_DISABLE) ; this too..............

$tab=GUICtrlCreateTab (10,10, 200,100)

$tab0=GUICtrlCreateTabitem ("tab0")
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("label0", 30,80,50,20)

If a picture is set as a background picture, as the other controls will overlap, it important to disable the pic control : GuiCtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DISABLE). This does not work with Tab control which behave differently. in this case you need to create the picture with the $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS style, some $GUI_ONTOP can still be necessary for the tab control.

Doh, ya noob, post in the wrong forum and cannot read the helpfile?

[GaryFrost]

also add after the createtab line

GUICtrlSetState($tab, $GUI_ONTOP)

I think he was indicating that it was GUI related

[Valuater]

When you get known around here... there is no room for errors

So... the next time i have a question ( as dumb as this one )

I'm going to create a new username....maybe.... Donkey?
