I use progress control to draw a simple colored rectangle but I cannot show a Tab control over it - please see the example. Is this a bug? Any idea how to do this?

Code: Select all

gui, add, progress, xm+40 w100 h100 Background0xa0a0a0 disabled
gui, add, tab2, xm ym+10 w300 h200, Tab one|Tab two
gui, show

You mean like this?

Then switch the lines...

It can be done this way:

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance Force
#NoEnv
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
SetBatchLines -1

Gui, Add, Progress, hWndhPrg xm+40 w100 h100 Background0xa0a0a0 Disabled
Gui, Add, Tab3, hWndhTab xm ym+10 w300 h200, Tab one|Tab two
Gui, Show

SendMessage 0xB, 0, 0,, ahk_id %hPrg% ; WM_SETREDRAW
WinSet Redraw,, ahk_id %hTab%
DllCall("SetWindowPos", "Ptr", hTab, "Ptr", 0, "Int", 0, "Int", 0, "Int", 0, "Int", 0, "UInt", 0x3)
Return

GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
    ExitApp

Thanks Alguimist, excellent, although I don't understand what you did...

May I ask if you happen to know how to solve my other issue related to tabs?

Would it be possible to somehow mask gray colored space on the right of the tabs?
