Nice work.
But when I add several more tabs the only indicator that there are many tabs out of view are the small arrows on the sides.
I feel the tabs should be cut at the edges. I don't use tabs in Firefox anymore, but I believe that's how they did it.
Speeking of which: Scrollwheel support to scroll through the tabs would be nice, too.
Also some way to add text and/or an icon to the "new tab"-tab.
And some more events like, doubleclick and right mouseclick on tab.
Nice touch with the double click on emty space that creates a new tab.
But this should also be handled with a independent double-click event so we can disable this feature.
Nice job, again.
Soon I will not use any standard gadgets anymore. So many cool Canvas-versions

yes, I include itDerren wrote:Speeking of which: Scrollwheel support to scroll through the tabs would be nice, too.
good idea, like a special constant for position for AddTabBarGadgetItem or SetTabBarGadgetText likeDerren wrote:Also some way to add text and/or an icon to the "new tab"-tab.
I think at this point we also can use EventType() of PureBasic.Derren wrote:And some more events like, doubleclick and right mouseclick on tab.
I then add just a EventTab, which returns the tab position of the event, ok?
yes, thats right, the new EventTab() will then return #TabBarGadget_Space or so.Derren wrote:Nice touch with the double click on emty space that creates a new tab.

Totally fine.STARGÅTE wrote:I think at this point we also can use EventType() of PureBasic.

And sounds consistent with PB.
A command to determine what happened and one to determine where it happened.
Thanks for considering my ideas.

Good coding, Thanks for sharing.

Strange, this computer not playing the game, I can delete tabs by clicking on the mousewheel though.Yes. If you select a TabBar with "<" or ">" on the ends, you can scroll the tabs to left/right.
Might need to play with the mouse settings.

Stargate,
This is great! Thank you for sharing.
Would you consider adding a flag to prevent the user from being able to move the tabs?
There are some cases when I wouldn't want to allow the tabs to be rearranged by the user.
Thanks,
Eric

I guess I'm the first to try the TabBarGadget on a Mac.
Small problem. For some reason, in line 128, returns zero. I substituted to see if it would work. It did work so I guess the Mac users will need to know what font/size to use.
[edit] Well, there is a mention of this behavior in the Help manual. Maybe if the font is defined on the Mac version then GetGadgetFont(#PB_Default) would work but that ends up with having to load the font either way...

thx for test it on mac.WilliamL wrote:I guess I'm the first to try the TabBarGadget on a Mac.
but \FontID is the Font-ID not the Font-Number, so if you replace it, use this one:
Code: Select all
\FontID = FontID(LoadFont(#PB_Any,"Geneva",9))
