Looking for any good tips or tricks working with dot net. I am still quite new to working with dotnet and looking to create more customised looking UI’s for my scripts. I want to create a tabbed interface and have full control over the look of each tab.
I have managed to create a tabbed interface using the dotnetcontrol “system.windows.forms.tabControl” technique having run through the great tutorials by Paul Neale( http://paulneale.com/tutorials/dotNet/dotNet.htm )
However I have also heard of a technique using customised radio buttons to produce a similar effect?
Would this be an easier/cleaner way of creating a tabbed interface?
Does anybody know of any useful links to tutorials or freely available scripts that I can pick apart that use this radio button technique?
Many Thanks,
D.
Is this a full dotNet UI or will you want to be displaying folklore in the tabs?
As of now I have only really dabbled with dotnet and haven’t really ventured into full dotnet UI’s, so at the moment yes, I would like to be able to display “folklore” in the tabs, if this is possible?
Firstly, this link may help with any dotNet tab related queries. Bobo has very kindly written an example max dialog with dotNet tabs.
Also, Lonerobot has a wealth of information regarding DotNet. In particular, this may be what you’re after regarding custom dotNet controls.
Hope that helps
Tim
EDIT:
Actually looking back I think I may have read your post wrong the first time. Doh! A dotNet radio button does sound like quite a cool way of creating tabs.
Apparently the way to do it is to set the appearance of a dotNet radioButton/checkBox to “button”. http://tech-artists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=532 Saying that I’m not aware of any example code for this but will post it here if I find any or have a play some day.
