@ sladiew,
I dont exactly what you are trying to do with the Tabs?
all you need to do is try the paddy example and change the line in CreateUI(). Below:-
`Create 32 edits (allows up to 32 files open at once) and hide all except the first
for i=1 to 32
edit(i-1).handle=createEdit(5,28,625,360,1,tabs)
setGadgetTextAlign edit(i-1).handle,1
applyFont edit(i-1).handle,font
if i>1 then setGadgetVisible edit(i-1).handle,0
next i
change to:-
`Create 32 edits (allows up to 32 files open at once) and hide all except the first
for i=1 to 32
`change line below:-
edit(i-1).handle=createRichEdit(5,28,625,360,tabs)
setGadgetTextAlign edit(i-1).handle,1
applyFont edit(i-1).handle,font
if i>1 then setGadgetVisible edit(i-1).handle,0
next i
then you can complete the editing of text with:-
getSelColor
getSelFont
setWordWrapMode
If you want icons in tabs then you will need an ImageList gadget i suppose, if it can be done or not i havent tried yet.
Don't know if this helps or not?
