	Tabs are a valuable tool when you need to fit a lot of controls into a small GUI. But inexperienced users often have problems with them - particularly in making sure that controls only appear on the correct tab. This tutorial should help. Before going further, it is important to understand the differences between controls created using the built-in AutoIt commands (''GUICtrlCreate*'') and those created with the UDFs. The built-in commands produce controls which are managed internally by AutoIt - they return '''ControlID'''s. The UDF commands create controls that are not in Autoit's internal management structure and need to be managed by the code - they normally return '''handles''' (the special unique identifier for all Windows components).

	=~~Multiple tabs~~ in a GUI=		=Adding Controls To Tabs After Creation=

			If you need to add built-in controls to a tab after the tabs have already been created, then you ''must'' use ''GUISwitch'' with the ''tabitemID'' parameter to select the correct tab before you create the control or you will find that it is visible on all tabs.

			Here is an example to show how to do it:
			<syntaxhighlight lang="autoit">
			#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

			$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500)

			$cTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 480, 350)
			$cTab_0 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 0")
			$cTab_1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("Tab 1")
			GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")

			$cButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add controls", 10, 450, 80, 30)

			GUISetState()

			While 1
			Switch GUIGetMsg()
			Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
			Exit
			Case $cButton
			; Correct
			GUISwitch($hGUI, $cTab_0)
			GUICtrlCreateLabel("Only on Tab 0", 40, 40, 200, 20)
			GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xCCFFCC)
			GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
			GUISwitch($hGUI)
			; Incorrect
			GUICtrlCreateLabel("OnTab 0 AND Tab 1", 40, 100, 200, 20)
			GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFFCCCC)
			EndSwitch
			WEnd
			</syntaxhighlight>
			Do not forget to reclose the tab definition after adding the new controls.

			=Multiple Tabs In A GUI=

	Unfortunately, only one built-in tab control can be created per GUI - you cannot have several tabs on a single GUI. But there is a way around this - just create child GUIs which can each hold a tab:		Unfortunately, only one built-in tab control can be created per GUI - you cannot have several tabs on a single GUI.
