Nested tabs dont work in autoit...what you posted is sort of a work around by making several GUI windows and having tabes in each of them, but the problem is you can't then apply attributes to the tabs and expect them to act like controls of the main window (because they arn't). What you would probably need to do isntead is tell the GUI child windows to resize with the parent not the tab controls themselfs...unfortuatly i don't see an option for this in GUIcreate()....but maybe it will acccept the functionality of guictrlset when used like a child...

Edit: Also there was someone working with this a while back and seemed to have some luck with it- http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=13934
