I'm just trying to find out how wide I have to make the button in
order
to see all the tabs. Unlike other button styles, a tabbed button
shows
all lines of its contents, but the formattedWidth property only
returns
the width of one line of the contents. I'd like to get the width of
all the contents as they're displayed horizontally.
Thanks for your concern. Let me know if you've got any ideas.
Here you go, Ray... try this:
on mouseUp
put tabFormattedWidth(long id of btn 1) into tWidth
set the width of btn 1 to tWidth
end mouseUp
function tabFormattedWidth pBtnDesc
put the text of pBtnDesc into tTabs
lock screen
put 0 into tWidth
put the number of lines of tTabs into tNum
put the label of pBtnDesc into tOrigLabel
repeat with x = 1 to tNum
set the label of pBtnDesc to (line x of tTabs)
put the formattedWidth of pBtnDesc into tFW
add tFW to tWidth
end repeat
put tWidth + (18* tNum) into tWidth
set the label of pBtnDesc to tOrigLabel
unlock screen
return tWidth
end tabFormattedWidth
HTH,
