Hi,

The Help is talking about selecting Sub-Tabs with "Gui, Tab, Main, Sub" but how do I create a Tab-Control inside one Tab? The following Code only creates two independent Controls in the Main-Window.

Code:
Gui, Add, Tab,, M1|M2|M3
Gui, Tab, 2
Gui, Add, Tab,, S1|S2|S3

This might be due to the default behavior that one control gets added below the previously added. E.g. like adding a radio button to a GroupBox.

Please try to add relative coordinates so that the second tabs is inside the area of the first tabs.

Hi Toralf,

that does not work because then the tabs are hidden from the first created tabs and are not owned by Tab 2 of the first Control.

Code:
Gui, Add, Tab,, M1|M2|M3
Gui, Tab, 2,1
Gui, Add, Tab, XS+5 YS+5, S1|S2|S3
Gui, Show

There's no way to do it because at the time, it seemed like it would be too rarely used to justify the added complexity and code size.

However, there is a plan to add a TreeView control, which is a lot like a tab control but has the ability to create a hierarchy (like nested folders on the left side of Explorer).

Hi Chris,

I actually simulate such a treeview without subtrees via a listbox and hidden tabs (outside the window). It's like in Firefox. Clicking on a name in the listbox changes the tab. Nice to know, that a treeview is planned.

Maybe there are other solutions for my intention. I have a fixed size options-dialog and one category should have more options than what fits in the window. Beside sub-tabs I also thought of a scrolling area, but I haven't found if it is possible to scroll a group of controls.
