Need help with Tab issue

[bshoenhair 0]

I have a Tab control with 2 tabs and I want the 2 tabs to fill the entire width of the tab control.

My interpretation of the help file it says to use:

$TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY+TCS_MULTILINE

Description For TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY:

The width of each tab is increased, if necessary, so that each row of tabs fills the entire width of the tab control.

This window style is ignored unless the TCS_MULTILINE style is also specified.

I must be missing something here because it does not work the tabs remain the same size.

I tried this once. It wasn't terribly easy. If I remember, I had to manually send messages to the tab control to set the height/width of each tab control myself. I don't remember what message that was off the top of my head, though.

Couldn't you just pad the tabitem titles with spaces?

GuiCreate("Example")
GuiCtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 200, 200)
GuiCtrlcReateTabItem("           One          ")
GuiCtrlcReateTabItem("           Two          ")

GuiSetState()
While guiGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd

Getting closer: But I can only change the height....

EDIT: Added the FIXEDWIDTH style

Global $TCS_FIXEDWIDTH = 0x400
Global $TCM_FIRST = 0x1300;
Global $TCM_SETITEMSIZE = ($TCM_FIRST + 41);

GuiCreate("Example")
   $tab = GuiCtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 204, 200, $TCS_FIXEDWIDTH)
   GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("One")
   GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("Two")
   GuiSendMsg($tab, $TCM_SETITEMSIZE, 0, _MakeLong(100, 40));(width, height)
GuiSetState()

While guiGetMsg() <> -3
WEnd

Func _MakeLong($l, $h)
   Return BitOR(BitAnd($l, 0xFFFF), BitShift(BitAnd($h, 0xFFFF), -16))
EndFunc; _MakeLong()

CS, I think there is a minimum size but no maximum. Trying setting some absurdly large height and see if the size increases. I could be wrong, though, I don't fully remember what all I tested.

Oops, I meant to say "only change height."

I cannot change the width using the GuiSendMsg method.... Maybe there is a certain style I'd need to apply to the tab control?

[Valik 471]

Maybe TCS_FIXEDWIDTH?

[CyberSlug 3]

Maybe TCS_FIXEDWIDTH?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That's it

$TCS_FIXEDWIDTH = 0x400

$tab = GuiCtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 200, 200, $TCS_FIXEDWIDTH)

;....

GuiSendMsg($tab, $TCM_SETITEMSIZE, 0, _MakeLong($width, $height))

;....
