Problems with Graphic in a tab

[HaavY]

I need a graphic control in a tabitem, but it just wont show up. It works if I don't use tabs, but when I added tabs only the button below it showed up.

CODE

GuiCtrlCreateTab(2, 1, 299, 285)

GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("The Tab")

$Color_Field = GUICtrlCreateGraphic(100, 30, 100, 100)

GUICtrlSetBkColor($Color_Field, 0xffffff)

$Click = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 125, 150, 50, 30)

Oh and by the way this is not the entire code, I have more tabs (which are currently empty) and of course a GuiCtrlCreateTabItem("") to end the tabitem creation.

I think the problem is that the tab goes in front of the graphic control, how do I fix this?

All I really had to do was adding GUICtrlSetState(-1, 2048) after it, you did not need to post the entire script, but thanks anyways.

Works! Yay

Glad you figured out what was needed.

I posted the whole script because it was an example I had which seemed to do what you wanted but I was too lazy to find out which bit you needed so I posted it all.
