any way you can make he "tabs" in a dialog longer? cos if the dialog is bigger then the tab length, then you get an empty space after them, i have two tabs, then only cover half of the dialog lengt, but want to have them cover the whole one.. so any way you can set a value on how long the tab should be?

nope

then that should be inplanted in the next version.. cos i think that it looks uggly when the tabs dont go all the way over the dialog.. and i supose others will agree with me on that? thnx for ur reply anyway..

Why not just make the dialog smaller if you have nothing to fill it?
Also, lots of good looking dialogs have tabs that don't fill the whole dialog.

the dialog is filled.. just the tab's on top that arent..

dialog is this long "______________________________"

tabs cover this much: "__________'__________'__________"

the red "marks" marking the tabs..
the blue part is the part i wanted the tabs to stretch over..

Like most things you can just fill it with $chr(160). i.e.

tab "C            ", 4

Alternatively, to save you copy/pasting them in.

alias dtabs { did -a $$1 $$2 $+($did($$1,$$2),$str($chr(160),$$3)) }

Syntax; /dtabs $dname [color:red]object-id spaces-required[/color]

i.e.

dialog test {
title "mIRC"
size -1 -1 110 100
option dbu

tab "m", 1, 5 5 100 90
tab "I", 2
tab "R", 3
tab "C", 4

button "m is for ... ", 11, 30 50 50 24, ok tab 1
button "I is for Internet", 12, 30 50 50 24, tab 2
button "R is for Relay", 13, 30 50 50 24, tab 3
button "C is for Chat", 14, 30 50 50 24, tab 4
}

On *:Dialog:test:init:*:{
dtabs $dname 2 10
dtabs $dname 3 10
echo done.
}

/dialog -m test test
