Searching but not finding - Programmatically create tabs

Post by trenatos » Sat Feb 14, 2015 3:23 am

I've been looking for info on this for a while, but I can't find it anywhere: How would I programmatically create/delete tabs?

It's for a dynamic interface, so I won't know the values of the tabs, or how many there are beforehand.

Where on earth have you been looking? :)
From the user's manual :
To create the individual menu items that will appear in the menu, set the button's text
property to the menu's contents, one menu item per line. You can either set this property
in a handler, or fill in the box labeled "Menu items" on the Basic Properties pane of the
property inspector.
And since it's Coffe+Livecode time here, there's a stack.

Hi.

You should also play around with all the control characters that go along with that, so you can create hierarchal menus, dividing lines, etc.

Hi Marcus,
Here is a lesson about "files and folder" that could be useful for your project

Getting the data's not a problem, just a matter of displaying, and if I'll have to build something up for that myself or if I can find something free. (At the moment it seems I'll be creating something)
