Good ol' Jacques.

Of course the tabs might frame other graphical objects or controls to make 
an integrated tabbed gadget. Now I see why there are so many border and fill 
options.

I don't deal much with nice looking user interface stuff. It shows.

Well, OK. It seems like it does not need to be resizable to the extent it 
can be, though. It should just be sort of a one line label field attached 
under the tabs.


OS interface guidelines require a framed edge around the contents of a 
tabbed control. The native Rev object provides the frame, rendered 
according to the OS (on Windows tabs are at the left, on OS X they're in 
the middle, for example. Colorization varies by OS too.) The frame area 
is resizeable so that you can adjust it to surround the contents you put 
into it.

It's there to help visually 'frame' the items per tab. Or am I misinterpreting 
your question?

Another Tab Button question

2009-12-11 Thread DunbarX 
What is the field-like space in the lower portion of a tabbed button for? I 
see it can hold the label of the button, but it can be resized dramatically 
and looks like it must have some other purpose.

Silly, but I could not find any description of this.

Thanks...

Re: Tab Button question

I must read the dictionary more.

I was trying to find info on the object, the button, and it didn't occur to 
me to read up on the message. This makes some sort of sense, I guess, in 
hindsight, but still, I miss a Goodman-like resource.

Where is Dan, anyway?

Thanks for the research.

Re: Tab Button question

2009-12-10 Thread Kay C Lan 
The docs seem to fully explain the situation, in the Dictionary, under the
entry for menuPick it says:

(However, no menuPick message is sent when an already-chosen tab in a tabbed
button is clicked, since no menu is displayed.)

Might not be how you want it to behave, but it's clearly documented that
that's the way it is. Seems reasonable to me, FireFox, Safari and tRev don't
seem to do anything when I select the already active tab again. In my stacks
that use tabs I appreciate not wasting cycles on something that has already
been done.

Tab Button question

2009-12-10 Thread DunbarX 
I make a tab button and click on a tab. The tab hilites. A menuPick message 
is sent to the button.

But the menuPick message is not sent if the hilited tab is clicked again. 
Why should this be so? MouseDown and mouseUp are always sent. Thank goodness.

MenuPick is sent with similarly constructed objects like a combo box, where 
reselecting a previously selected (and showing) menuItem still sends the 
menuPick message.

Seems logical it ought to.

Thanks.
