Strange tab behaviour

[enaiman]

Sorry if this issue have been discussed but after more than 1 hour of searching the topics I couldn't find anything relevant.

Here is my problem;

According to a user choice from a combo list I've created a new tab:

if $msg = $site_mnemonic Then
        if GUICtrlRead($site_mnemonic) = "RHHL" Then
            GUICtrlCreateTabitem ("RHHL Vlan")
        GUICtrlCreateLabel("VLAN Name", 30, 50)
        GUICtrlCreateLabel("Tag", 140, 50)
..........

The creation is succesful but ...

If I click the new created tab I will see the tab I've created having all its content AND all the elements from the first tab (it is like the image isn't refreshed).

The result looks like the image attached.

IF I click on another tab and I come back to the weird one it will look NORMAL (like on the lower part of the image)

IF (after I create the tab) I don't click it directly but clicking first on another tab then the weird one - it will look NORMAL.

How could I avoid this "intermediar click" and get my tab to look normal?

Thank you,

[Zedna]

Post more code here - to reproduce problem.

Did you try?

- GUICtrlSetState($tabitem,$GUI_SHOW)

- GUICtrlCreateTabitem (""); end tabitem definition

- GUISwitch($hWin,$tabitem)

Thank you for your reply Zedna,

Here is all the code I've got until now (I'm still at the begining of the script)

I've used that @SW_hide and @SW_show because without them the result was even uglier.
