I will add it.

I was just thinking exactly the same thing!! - sometimes it would be useful.

Been trying this new version over the last couple of days. Very good work - many thanks for sharing it. This gadget will definitely be central to the UI of my main project and will be credited.

This is extremely nice! I have to keep tabs on this puppy.

Nvm, updating

I would like to introduce you to the next update to the TabBarGadget.
It is much more to come, and it has also changed some:

Update 1.2 (1. Mar 2011)

• Full support as *.chm and online (first only in german, english will come soon)
• Other procedures such as SetTabBarGadgetAttribute(), SetTabBarGadgetItemColor(), DisableTabBarGadgetItem()
• A few new attributes: NoTabMoving, MirroredTabs, TabRounding
• Improvements in the representation of movement and navigation

Include: TabBarGadget.pbi (Version 1.2.0)
Online version of the help: Das Registerkartenleisten-Gadget
(first only in german, english will come soon)
Zip-Archive: TabBarGadget.zip (include, example and help)

Here some screens:
disable tabs
mirrored tabs
other tab color
fade out in navigation

Do you have any plans to make them oriented vertically, with the content beside the tabs rather than below?

See the very bottom of this pic for an example.

Yes, I would like to integrate it, but I would also rotate the text, like in notepad++

or should i add a new flags like: #TabBarGadget_VerticalTabs, #TabBarGadget_VerticalText ?

Well, what I had in mind would require the text to still be horizontal, like in the png file. This allows several options in a short space while maintaining readability.

Update 1.3 (1. Sep 2012)

• Multiline tab bar
• Procedures to set tooltips for each tab item, the close button and the new tab
• Set minimum and maximum of tab width
• some bug fixes

Include: TabBarGadget.pbi (Version 1.3.0)
Help: Das Registerkartenleisten-Gadget
Archive: TabBarGadget.zip (Include, Example and Help)

Wonderful, many thanks STARGÅTE

Just popping in to say:

Thank you STARGATE, the TabBarGadget is incredible, one of the best PB community contributions I've ever seen!

I'm using it in a project finally, and I'm wondering -- any update on the English help file, and are there any planned updates to the gadget?

The only feature I'd like to request is the ability to only show a Close [X] button on the ACTIVE tab. Currently you can only show them on ALL tabs or NO tabs -- unless I'm overlooking something.

Thanks again for your work!

I try to write a help in English. Until then, please use a translator:

Currently I'm working on version 1.4 with the following features:

• real vertical tabbars (with rotated text)
• attribute: enable editable tabs
• attribute: multi selectable tabs
• some bug fixes

here a screenshot:

i can include it in the next update...

This update looks nice
Since the documentation is in german I might be asking something stupid, but: Is there a way to disable the new tab opening with double click?

In the current version 1.3, only in code:
Line 870-872: make a comment in Line 871 or you can check in your code, if you get the #TabBarGadgetEvent_NewTab -Event from the TabBarGadget check:
If EventType() <> #PB_EventType_LeftDoubleClick
_________

In the update 1.4, it will be set via \EnableDoubleClickForNewTab = #True/#Flase

Looks great !

Stargate:

Thank you for this. Excellent work.

Thanks also for sharing the code. I'll enjoy learning new techniques.
