TabPanel Action Plugin (WIP)

[RizlaUK]

TabPanel is a panel with tabs (Doh) that you can embed AMS objects into, and have a proper tab system

this plugin is far from compleat, but as im away for a long weekend im posting it as is for now, just for some feedback

This plugin may not see any more development as it has some rather huge drawbacks, all object events work well after embedding the object into the tabpanel, with the exception of the xButton where the OnClick event does not work and this reduces the functionally of a TabPanel

but, if you guys think you can use the plugin without the need of a button in the panels then i may as well finish it

feedback, plz guys

FYI, no help file yet, this is a WIP afterall, see example for usage

Dean... How!? That's so awesome I can't explain how I feel haha!
Very well done, awesome! :yes


Worked perfectly on WinXP SP3 x86, but in gods name... You are really
making me curious haha!

[RizlaUK]

How?

its really rather simple, i took the PB Panel, put it inside a AMS ListBox, then with every tab i create a container inside the panel, this container becomes the AMS objects parent window, chuck in some subclassing and a hefty ammount of API and you see the result

this started as a "to see if it works" type of thing, and it works, so i thought id see if anyone will use it even without being able to use buttons inside the panels

but on after thought..... i can make a button/text/radio/checkbox objects that are compatible with the panel..... in fact...i could just write a full scale GUI plugin with bundles of objects (like wxLua or iUP but compleatly AMS native)

would you guys make use of such a plugin ??

Oh wow, I've wanted this since I used Visual Studio 2008 for the first time.

You make it sound so easy, but I had troubles porting that ProgressEx bar to an AMS window...
And, I know how to do it, I just can't get it right though...
Very well done Dean, and yes, I'd make use of such a plugin :yes

[RizlaUK]

If you want to send the file over i'll take a look when i get home, im sure i can fix it

Indeed It will be here soon probably though.
I've removed all the AMS plugin part files for it, because I was messing up.
Then I converted it to an PB OOP class, so I can manage handles easier.
I'll PM you with some more information, maybe you can tell me more
I kinda lost that example you once send me (well, I still have it, but I can't
remember on what drive/folder/file )

Dean, this will make a fantastic plugin! I would like to use it for the inventory screen in my game. As such, I have a few suggestions for functions and events. Would any of these be possible?

Functions
nTabID = TabPanel.GetSelected(sHost)
TabPanel.IsSelected(sHost, nTabID)

-- I know this one exists but this suggestion is for a modification
TabPanel.AddTab(sHost, sTabText, sTabData, sTabPos)

TabPanel.RemoveTab(sHost, nTabID)
TabPanel.GetText(sHost, nTabID)
TabPanel.SetText(sHost, nTabID)
TabPanel.GetData(sHost, nTabID)
TabPanel.SetData(sHost, nTabID)
TabPanel.GetPos(sHost, nTabID)
TabPanel.SetPos(sHost, nTabID)

Events
On Enter
On Leave
On Click
On Add (Tab)
On Remove (Tab)
On Create

Just off the top of my head.


Also, TabPanel.EmbedObject() is missing from intellisense.

Rizlauk,
Nice to have you back from the camping adventure {i.e., I mean vacation / holiday}. Hopefully the weather improved from the rain you expected...I trust you had a better time than you planned...at least, you had quality family time and they could enjoy you without any distraction from a PC.
Welcome back!!
