Hi folks!

Because of vertical size limits, I need to have the equivalent of 'tabs' on the left side of a GRID control. The 'tabs' will control what is displayed in the GRID.

Is there a way to use PUSH-BUTTONs to do the equivalent of the 'tabs'? A sort of radio-button grouping of push buttons where one is 'down' to show which is selected.

Cheers

Duncan

    Unfortunately, I need dynamic text labels on the buttons, so bitmaps are not an option.

    We use tab controls and make them look like buttons using the BUTTONS or FLAT-BUTTONS style. This should accomplish what you are looking for.

    Unfortunately this window is 'vertically challenged' and I need to put the buttons down the left hand edge of the window.

    It would be nice, however, to have the ability to display tabs at the sides or the bottom of a window, rather than just at the top.

    Duncan,

    You can use the "VERTICAL" option for the tab control. I'm not sure when this was added, but I know it's in version 7.

    Hmmm. Indeed, I've just spotted it in the 7.0 docs.

    We will be upgrading this customer to version 7.0 in the next few days, so I can actually use this.

    Thank you.
