Category: BGI GUI

Syntax:

bgiCreateTabControl:Int(x:Int, y:Int, width:Int, height:Int, parentWin:Int)

• x : Int
• y : Int
• width : Int
• height : Int
• parentWin : Int

Int

Creates a tab control: a row of tabs above a panel.

Takes x (Int), y (Int), width (Int), height (Int) and parentWin (Int).

Returns gizmo ID on success, 0 if parent not found.

The tabs do not hold controls. As on Windows, a program places its controls over the panel and shows or hides them when the tab changes - either on the event, BGI_EVENT_COMMAND_UPDATE with ID BGI_EVENT_ID_TABCONTROL and the new tab's index as the data, or by reading bgiGetSelectedTab. The first tab added is selected.
