Hi!

I can't create any tabbar to the main window of my project! I design it in Rainbow, but after compiling the code and running the program, it is not visible. I think the problem is that I cant put anything to DB Pro's renderscreen.

How to solve this?

How can I share the sreen to render and for the gadgets?

Try AddTab(TabBarGadget) as the Default number of tabs on the tabbar is 0 until you add your first one

I tried to make a new window gadget to my editor, and put all the tool buttons and tabs on it. It really cool and works, but I cant get any property from that window in my main DB Program.

AdTab does not work... It shows up at the begining, that after a millisecond it hides...

+ Code Snippet

sync on
startBlue "user", "password"

make object cube 1, 1

hTab = createTabs(0, 0, 300, 200, 0)
addTab hTab, "First tab"
addTab hTab, "Second tab"

do

    sync
loop

Seems to work fine...

Are you sure you added gui.dba in your project sources? It might have to do with the alignements that are stored in that folder. Also window constants, etc.
Nothing with tabs though, but it's worth the try.

And you should be able to get any data of all the gadgets you created, so that's probably another reason.
Like not using globals for the gadget handles?

Try calling resetMainWindow.

When I take your code (with a few modifications to make up for the lack of UI.dba), the window is all white. When I add resetMainWindow before the do...loop, it works, although with a strange symptom of blackness until the window is resized.

resetMainWindow from the BlueGUI help files:

Quote: "
resetMainWindow

Description:
Resets the main program window. The black window created by DarkBASIC Professional sometimes "forgets" certain settings when you use the SET WINDOW LAYOUT, MINIMIZE WINDOW or MAXIMIZE WINDOW commands. This results in gadgets disappearing or "flicking" in and out of view.

Call resetMainWindow to "fix" the main window. You may need to call paintGadget again to update the gadgets.
"

I'd advise you avoid the use of the DBp window as your app's main window altogether, through the use of setGadgetParent:

Quote: "
setGadgetParent handle child, handle parent

Description:
Changes the parent of a gadget. The child will be "housed" inside the new parent gadget, and behave as if it were created with that parent gadget. You can use this command to move the DBPro window inside a gadget to create a 3D viewport.

Return Value:

Parameters:
child Handle of the child gadget
parent Handle of parent gadget
"

Then you could put the DBp window inside your custom built BlueGUI window. This would avoid the gadget flickering and maybe the black effect on startup.
