Does it look like a Tab Control? it's not a tab, i have already tried to make it and i think this is not possible using Tab Control because it looks different type of menu style. see the image posted in post #1 in this thread. Maybe it's possible using Tab control but help file does not have any information about it. by the way thanks for trying to help me. Edited November 24, 2008 by Cw2K1

Well, I think you would need to design it in flash if you want it to look good. You could do it in AutoIt, but what you are seeing done from the examples you show are obviously done in a different language.

Another approach you could look at is to look in the User Define functions in the GUI section and review examples of all the GUI stuff. Seeing how you are looking for spot on match to the style, well AutoIt won't do it out of the box.

The only other thing I can think of is you may be able to use jpg files along with some type of mouse over event to make the call outs happen. You would need to search the forum for the code on the mouse part.

I'm with Volly on this one, as far as the using jpg's, of all the stuff I've learned so far, most important of all is that AutoIt can do it. Finding the way to do it is another thing. Personally I'm going with 3D gui's for my next scripts. As soon as my hang over goes away I'm going to work on my latest concoction more. I can't believe I spelled concoction right.

Ok, really close but was not your expectations. Anyway, it manage to kill 15 minutes of my time. I was really bored, so here's the script.

I'd show you my 3D gui but its top secrete for the time being. Until I work out the bugs and make my media player somewhat functional.
