How to get a total count to show on a group tab

[dandun]

Greetings,

I am looking for a point in the right direction for how I can create a group tabbed button that will show a total count.

I am already familiar with how to create a group tab layout but not sure how to show a total count on that button.

In this example the three tabs will have a separate datagrid list. I am trying to get a way to represent the total count of each of these datagrids on the corresponding button itself.

Thanks in advance!
Dan

Hi Dan,

what is a "group tab layout"?

Whatever, you can set "the label" of a button to multiline-text if neccessary:
...
## Fill tScore with whatever you need:
put 10 into tScore
set the label of btn "your button here" to tScore & CR & "This is line 2 of 2"
...

Best

Dan.

Is that what you meant by a "group tab layout", a few buttons arranged in a row along with some other bounding control?

Is the issue that you cannot have a multi-line entry in a tabbed button? This is in fact true, and hence Klaus' comment that you can have a multi-line label in an ordinary button.

Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to a custom tab button that consists of one group and a few buttons. But it sounds like Klaus did answer my question on how to add the count. I will give it a try.
Thank you

Adding and using some extra transparent fields instaed of buttons might also do the job
