You need to use winset(), not winshow().
|
i tried that first thinking i messed it up and im still having no luck :(
| |
Do you mean displaying and hiding existing tabs at runtime, or dynamically generating new tabs?
For the latter, I had an experiment that used winclone to duplicate a template window, then add it as a tab. I could probably dig up the code (or see if it already exists online, somewhere), in case it might provide some direction for further research into what might be wrong. | |
First thing: You need to enclode your code in <dm> ... </dm> tags when posting to the forums, so it will format right.
The winshow needs to be a winset instead, and you also cannot have spaces around the = which is a no-no. After you fix those, if it's still not working, I would ask: Are mainoutput and scoutput both panes, or are they output controls? The webclient is capable of using any control as a pane, but Dream Seeker absolutely requires a pane. The tabs you set should be the IDs of the panes those controls are in, not the output controls themselves. Also I would double-check that the windows you made that contain your outputs are in fact marked as panes. If you didn't check the box that says it's a pane, it will be treated as a window, and windows can't be used in tabs either. | |
Also, you can add and removed tabs using:
winset(client,"tabcontrol","tabs=+herp,-derp") "+herp" will add the pane herp, and "-derp" will remove the pane derp. | |
One caveat: winsets expect data in the form you'd get from urlencode() or list2params(), so the + will actually be interpreted as a space if you use it raw like that. (I know that's kind of annoying. It's an artifact of how the params got setup in the first place, and kind of a pain to change now.) You'd have to encode it as %2c. Or more easily:
winset(client, "tabcontrol", list2params(list("tabs"="+herp,-derp"))) | |
^Good to know.
Honestly, I very rarely if every use any interface elements beyond the browser and map. I tend to do everything else with screen objects, maptext, and HTML/CSS. | |
Thanks Ter13 and Lummox JR for the help... It works perfect now... :)
