Can someone explain to me how these tabs work in VDS. Because I sure have not got a clue as to how to get them to work. I want to have two tabs, each with there own text, list, buttons and edits elemets contained in them. Been trying my darnest to make it work for two days now and it is driving this VDS newbi nuts!


I understand that a tab dialog element is a group element. Dialog elements that are created subsequent to it, and whose top left corner is within its boundaries, are owned by the group element.

So my thinking is that if the Tab is a group than anything that is placed under the :Tab 1CLICK or :Tab 2CLICK is in a group respectfully. But it is either not hiding or not showing or just not working at all. Here is what I wrote but it does not work. Obviously I have it all wrong or it would be working.

I have searched VDS world and saw a few examples but just could not make too much sense out them.

Any help is much appricated.




Title Tab Test 1

Hi Starfire

You need really add,remove element from dialog on tabclick event?

This work with show/Hide element

Hi Tdk161,


Now it makes a lot more sense to me. I was really lost with the add/remove elements. Somehow
I got it in my head that that was how to do it. The show and hide elements works a lot better.
Thank you very much for clearing up my confusion. Have a great day.

Thanks
