How do I change TabCtrl tab size [message #52673]

How do I change TabCtrl tab size (height).

I can enlarge the tab label font size (with e.g. tab.Add("\1[ [ [4!Arial! Test]]]"); ) but the tab remains the same height and the font is drawn too high.

I am increasing the size of my app controls for fat fingers on tablets.

Thanks.

You can define your own Style, change tabheight.

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	static TabCtrl::Style big_tab = TabCtrl::StyleDefault();
	ONCELOCK {
		big_tab.tabheight = Zy(100);
	}

	TopWindow win;
	TabCtrl tab;
	tab.SetStyle(big_tab);
	tab.Add("Test");
	win.Add(tab.SizePos());
	win.Run();
}

(Note that Style has to be static or global).

Alternatively, you can do that for all TabCtrls:

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	TabCtrl::Style& s = TabCtrl::StyleDefault().Write();
	s.tabheight = Zy(100);

	TopWindow win;
	TabCtrl tab;
	tab.Add("Test");
	win.Add(tab.SizePos());
	win.Run();
}
