TheIDE apparently did something like that to allow user to close the current tab page. I have been trying to dig into theide source code, but could not find a clue. Hopefully it's that really difficult to achieve that.

Thanks,
Lance

well,
TabBar.h:401 says

	TabBar& Crosses(bool b = true, int side = RIGHT);

so when yoy have a TabBar instance, yoy can say

mytab.Crosses();

and they are there...even when you use a TabBarCtrl instance, since it derives from TabBar.

hope this helps

Sorry, I use TabCtrl.

Does TabBar do the same job as a TabCtrl or is it contained by TabCtrl?

Thanks,
Lance

Hi kohait00:

Thanks. I manage to replace TabCtrl with TabBarCtrl and I see what you meant. But unlike TabCtrl, when there is no tab page at all, the TabBarCtrl has a ugly black background. How should I fix it? Always provide a default tab?

Thank you!
Lance

sorry, i somehow didn't realize that TabCtrl was the case and not TabBar and TabBarCtrl respective. but now, that you switched (which is better anyway) i can confirm the blackscreen with no tabs sometimes.

will try to investigate how to fix that one.. for meanwhile fix maybe insert a dummy tab beeing it a StaticRect with a Background color.

Thanks for the tip. I am currently working on something else. I will move on to it afterwards.

I switched back to TabCtrl for now. I need to figure out how to add tab page in TabBarCtrl so that I can have multiple instances of same type of slave control (I suppose I need to provide a distinct 'Key' to the AddChild or so method).

Too much to learn Smile
