Hi, Guys,
I have been trying very hard to get this tab strip working, I have tried everything i can think of to get this working but to no avail… grrr…
So here’s the code, which i have mostly developed form reading other scripts, as in this case i did not find the maxreference that helpful (Though as usual the answer is most likely there)… Thanks in advanced for your help!
Cheers
Dave

everything looks ok, but i only noticed that you havent defined values for these:
floatWidth
floatHeight
this may cause some erros i suppose.
I noticed that about 20mins after the post, the error i get is
Rollout Handler Exception: – Type error: AddSubRollout requires RolloutClass, got: “vrman”
I still cant work it out, by my logic and understanding it should work!
cheers

It’s not complete but it’s fix a couple of immediate issues.
Your problem was you were setting the rollout array to be strings and not rollouts and you were also not forward defining the rollouts before you started to use them…
try(destroyDialog test)catch()
floatWidth = 316
floatHeight = 715
--Forward defined rollouts
rollout vrman "" ( )
rollout advanRoll "" ( )
rollout camRoll "" ( )
rollout LightRoll "" ( )
rollout helpRoll "" ( )
--Rollout array with rollout objects
roll_ar = #(vrman, advanRoll, camRoll, LightRoll, helpRoll)
rollout test "test bed" width:312 height:704
(
local tabNames = #("Quick", "Advanced", "Cameras", "Lights", "Help")
local roll_ar = #(vrman, advanRoll, camRoll, LightRoll, helpRoll)
local rollWidth = #(312,312,312,312,312)
local rollHeight = #(704,704,704,704,704)
activeXcontrol ax "MSComctlLib.TabStrip.2" height:20
subRollout sub1 width:314 height:0 pos:[1, 312 - 2]
on test open do
(
ax.tabs.clear()
ax.multiRow = false
for x = 1 to tabNames.count do
(
newTab = ax.tabs.add()
newTab.caption = tabNames[x]
)
)
FN btCon_fn btPres =
(
if btPres == 1 then
(
sub1.width = floatWidth
sub1.height = floatHeight
test.width = floatWidth
test.height = floatHeight
for x in roll_ar do (if x != undefined do (removeSubRollout Sub1 x))
)
else
(
for x in roll_ar do (if x != undefined do (removeSubRollout Sub1 x))
sub1.width = (floatWidth + rollWidth[btPres])
sub1.height = (floatHeight + rollHeight[btPres])
test.width = (floatWidth + rollWidth[btPres])
test.height = (floatHeight + rollHeight[btPres])
addSubRollout Sub1 roll_ar[btPres]
)
)
on ax click do

axT = ax.selectedItem
btCon_fn axT.index
