Well, I suspect I'm not saying anything that I haven't said before (for example, an index might have helped me find the answer to the question of how to disable a single tab) or that others haven't said before... I don't say that the documents suck but rather that some things perhaps need to be done differently. If I understand things correctly, there may be only a single person responsible for the documentation. The docs are considerable in what is covered/sheer volume of info that needs to be covered. It's hard to get everything right, especially if you don't have a team of people handling such a thing. Having said that, I still, however, think that if the object inspector for tabs doesn't allow you the obvious ability to disable a single tab, then the issue of how to do so really aught to be in the main dox section dealing with tab buttons.
I'm surprised about what you say re: yahoo dox group. Dan posted there just last night or so and I responded. Not exactly a swinging, happening group, but not dead either. The problem with building 'real' docs from scratch is the same as I outlined in paragraph 1. That, and the fact that textual support is needed for a wide range of potential users (some who looked at my tabs stack probably cringed at the voluminous usage of if-then-end if's, but I think that normal humans who need a step-by-step probably relate more to if-thens than to case statements). There are those who never need to know about one-dimensional versus multidimensional arrays and those for whom that bit of info is a make or break the deal issue. etc. Judy On Tue, 12 Apr 2005, Mikey wrote: > So what are you saying - that the docs suck and somebody needs to fix > that problem?
