TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT doesn't work?


iCode

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to make the width of the tabs in a tab control match the width of the tab control

$TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT 0x0800 Rows of tabs will not be stretched to fill the entire width of the control. This style is the default.

According to my understanding, if yoiu add $TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT to a tab control, then the tabs should expand in width to match the width of the tab control, however they don't (i see no difference in adding $TCS_RAGGEDRIGH) . Am i missing something?

This is on Win7

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Local $Form = GUICreate("Form1", 623, 449, 644, 114)
Local $Tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(8, 8, 157, 53, $TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT)
;Local $Tab = GUICtrlCreateTab(8, 8, 157, 53)
Local $TabSheet1 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet1")
Local $TabSheet2 = GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet2")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
  Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
   Exit
EndSwitch
WEnd

FUNCTIONS: WinDock (dock window to screen edge) | EditCtrl_ToggleLineWrap (line/word wrap for AU3 edit control) | SendEX (yet another alternative to Send( ) ) | Spell Checker (Hunspell wrapper) | SentenceCase (capitalize first letter of sentences)

CODE SNIPPITS: Dynamic tab width (set tab control width according to window width)

iCode,

According to my understanding, if yoiu add $TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT to a tab control, then the tabs should expand in width to match the width of the tab control

Read the definition that you yourself provided:

"$TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT 0x0800 Rows of tabs will not be stretched to fill the entire width of the control. This style is the default.

As I read that, the $TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT style will do exactly the opposite of what you think. :D

If you want the tab headers to expand to fill all the space across the tab control you need the $TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY style:

"The width of each tab is increased, if necessary, so that each row of tabs fills the entire width of the tab control."

But note the caveat that you must also specify the TCS_MULTILINE style - so it seems you cannot apply the $TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY style to a single row of tab headers. My tests indicate that $TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY is set as default when you add the TCS_MULTILINE style - look at this test script which show the style value applied in each case:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <WinAPI.au3>

GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet2")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUICtrlSetData($hLabel, "0x" & Hex(_WinAPI_GetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle($hTab), $GWL_STYLE), 6))

$hTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 200, 200, BitOR($TCS_RAGGEDRIGHT, $TCS_MULTILINE))
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet1")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet2")

GUICtrlSetData($hLabel, "0x" & Hex(_WinAPI_GetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle($hTab), $GWL_STYLE), 6))

    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

$hGUI = GUICreate("Multi Line alone", 500, 500)
$hTab = GUICtrlCreateTab(10, 10, 200, 200, $TCS_MULTILINE)
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet1")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet2")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet3")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("TabSheet4")
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
$hLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 10, 300, 200, 20)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GUICtrlSetData($hLabel, "0x" & Hex(_WinAPI_GetWindowLong(GUICtrlGetHandle($hTab), $GWL_STYLE), 6))

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

So it seems you cannot get a single row of tabs to fill the width of the entire tab control. Pity! :oops:

GUICtrlSendMsg($Tab, $TCM_SETITEMSIZE, 0, _MakeLong(int($tabControlwidth/2) - 2, 20));Might need some experimenting on different OS/ theme?

martin,

Thanks for that. Goes straight into the snippets folder. :D

How very un-PC! :D

thanks guys

reading the doc though leads me to believe that if you add $TCS_RIGHTJUSTIFY and $TCS_MULTILINE, you'll stretch the tabs, but this is not the case unless you actually have more than 1 row of tabs

@martin - LOL - took me a minute to grasp that one :D
