gui problem

[leevy]

Hello,

I need a specific container, it will be implanted into a GUI window. There is a combo in the GUI window. if I select one item from this combo, some inputbox will be shown in the specific container. if I select another itme from this combo, the original inputbox in this container will be removed, and others inputbox will be shown.

I have not found a suitable GUI control, could you help me?

leevy,

Is this what you mean?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#Include <GuiComboBox.au3>

GUICreate("Test", 300,200)

$hCombo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 10, 10, 200, 50)
GUICtrlSetData(-1, "One|Two|Three") 
$hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 10, 100, 200, 50)

GUISetState()

While 1

    If GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    
    $sText = _GUICtrlComboBox_GetEditText($hCombo)
    If GUICtrlRead($hEdit) <> $sText Then GUICtrlSetData($hEdit, $sText)

WEnd

If i understand you correctly, this can be done with Tab controls.

Just make the tab control bigger than the gui so you won't see any of the tabs.

e.g.:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

GUICreate("", 500, 400)

$Combo = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 32, 16, 417, 25)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Menu 1|Menu 2")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "_ChangeTab")

GUICtrlCreateTab(-10, -30, 520, 460)

;----- First menu -----
$Tab1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("1")
GUICtrlCreateInput("This is the first menu",30,100,250,20)

;----- Second menu -----
$Tab2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("2")
GUICtrlCreateInput("this is a different menu",70,200,250,20)
GUICtrlCreateInput("with different controls",70,250,250,20)

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")

GUISetState()
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _ChangeTab()
    Switch GUICtrlRead($Combo)
        Case "Menu 1"
            GUICtrlSetState($Tab1,$GUI_SHOW)
        Case "Menu 2"
            GUICtrlSetState($Tab2,$GUI_SHOW)
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Thanks for all, andybiochem's method suit my needs.

But, I have another question, because I have had a parent tab control on the GUI window, can I add sub tab on the parent tab?

hi, I used a sub window to solve my question. I have not used tab control, but GUI window.
