GroupBox Control Covers Tab Control Topic is solved

[elmo]

Hello forum,

Surprised I am seeing this for the first time ... feels like it should have popped up somewhere. Anyway, a GroupBox control covers the selectors for an adjacent Tab control. Any thoughts or advice on how to resolve are appreciated.

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance , Force

Gui , 1:New  ,  , GroupBox Munges Tabs
Gui , 1:Margin , 8 , 8
Gui , 1:Add  , GroupBox  ,   x0008   y0008 w0256 h0032 , GroupBox Title
Gui , 1:Add  , Tab3      ,   x0016   y0032 w0240 h0080 , A|B
Gui , 1:Tab  , A
Gui , 1:Add  , Text      ,   x0024   y0072 Border      , Tabs UNDER GroupBox`nis UNexpected
Gui , 1:Tab  , B
Gui , 1:Tab
Gui , 1:Add  , Text      ,   x0128   y0032 Border      , Text OVER GroupBox`nas expected
Gui , 1:Show
return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

Your feels are correct.

Hmmm, after following the link you provided, now I "feel like" this must be a long standing issue and there is no solution. Bummer. Will move on to some other method. Thank you.

How about this:

Code: Select all

Gui Add, GroupBox, hWndhGrp x27 y15 w307 h80, GroupBox
Gui Add, Tab3, hWndhTab x70 y37 w225 h160, Tab 1|Tab 2
