Hi
Does anyone else have trouble with tabs after you get complex and 4 or more?

I've troubleshot setpos sizes from 500 to 10000 with all different variations.

I've remmed different groups and couples all day Laughing

Ok, I'm totally insane again Insane

I know what your thinking, when was I not Stupid

Maybe I still have that 1 more TAB trick to learn...

Any ideas would help tremidious

Heres a stripped version of my program, if I dont move the TEXT other TAB data is in conflict with it, but I cant seem to resolve it.

This seems to work for me... (I think...)

How do I explain this, hehe
That works for me too now...
But before I stripped out the 2400+ lines to make an easy to see
example of my problem, the problem is gone - lol

I mean, before if I did it like your example, it would not show, because
of other dialogs in the other tabs, I spent a day trying to adjust them
first, and another day to weed them out thinking it must be the TEXT one.

Any ways that works here, but not in my original program, sorry.
And I have this problem everytime I just about get my TABs done and
looking good, TABs are allmost starting to seem evil to me Twisted Evil

I'm sure its something simple, and maybe in about 10 years I'll stumble
on my stupidity again and be able to use and enjoy TABs. So far they
allways fail me or I mean I fail TABs. Confused, angry

Thanks for trying to help, I do appreciate..

I noticed in your original example you were both hiding the text AND
moving it to a position off the window... I just changed it to do only one of
those... (shift the position). I also made it create it within the window,
initially... Maybe you're inadvertantly doing something similar...

OK,
Here I have a real simple version for you to get working Smile

please

I know its all wrong, but I want to see a correct formula for all my future tabs, Thanks..

I typically use add/remove with tabs and store any changed values to a variable, list or registry on tabCLICK.

You could try:

Cool, ThanksWidget Coder Smile

So I guess hide and or POS was too unpredictible and crappy results.
And as far as flicker, TABs dont notice.

And also as the example below, I would be able to shift up to 9 TABs as would prolly always be plenty.
Below I added 1 more tab, is it correct or OK? (it seemed to work ok here)

WidgetCoder · Posted: Fri Apr 14, 2006 5:08 am Post subject:

Yep

No actually you can add an almost unlimited number of tabs the "@substr(%E,1,-5)" only strips the "CLICK" from the end of the event string. So Tab99CLICK would be Tab99..

yeah, I wasn't thinking, I noticed you removing -5 (click) first thing, I should have also remembered you only using and needing %1 and %2 (not all 9) Embarassed

hey thanks again WidgetCoder, I really appreciate it, I can finally enjoy tabs, I been wasting all this time with hide and pos Crying or Very sad

Something wierd just happened, I had about 12 search pages on nice tab keywords open, and was gonna read all them when I clicked on the 1st one, all pages disappeared. Oh well, must have been god saying your way is the best tab way and go with it Big Smile
