question about tabs

[Attus]

is it possible to create tabs in MMF2 Dev?

[Brandon]

In MMF2D, you can use the Dialog Box extension.

[Attus]

yeah true but I need independant tabs...its possible to create it?

[Brandon]

What do you mean by "independent" tabs?

[Attus]

it means "in the frame windows" not in the dialog box

[Brandon]

Well, I suppose you could make tabs custom by events. Each tab would be a separate active, and upon clicking one, it would be moved to the front and the proper information would be displayed.

[Attus]

ok, I will try...thanks mate

[Brandon]

No problem, after all, that is what the forums are for.

This would work, but it would be terribly hard to get that to look like Windows interface.

Hey Attus, I've done this some time ago with the DialogBox object. It's a very good choice for tabs too.

Create a new dialog box, choose the style "Child" and uncheck the option "Title bar". Now you have a tab in the background of your frame, viz. beside the controls inside the DialogBox object you are now able to put the other window controls like Explorer or Tree above it. Play around with it...
