EndIf Return $GUI_RUNDEFMSG EndFunc ;==>_WM_SETCURSOR This is a post of example(s). The code started due to the observation that controls don't look the same when in a tab control. Digging thru the forum I found chunks of code so I smash them together to solve my issues. The "UDF" is more of an useful include than an UDF, but it shows how to use Child GUIs instead of a TAB control. In each child GUI you can have a GUICtrlCreateTab(). ( something that I did not realize until I browse the Wiki ) Working on the code I found myself having to GUIRegisterMsg(). Then why not register more and do more. Took me about a month to discover how to put it together. Then I'm like "this would make a good example". So try it out, use what you need ( or as is ). Hopefully it'll save you the learning curve. The code is in the downloads section. ( I'm a copy and paste kind of coder, so racking my brain is not my forte. But at times, is what it takes to get working code ) PS: if you find a better way to do something or a gross misinterpretation in the code, do share. ( so I can copy and paste )
