Is it possible to script a tabbed ui?

[Damienned]

Is it possible to script a tabbed ui like this, i can't seem to get it to work, please help...

Cheers Daniel.

My script for now:

#target illustrator

tabbed_ui();

//Functions

function tabbed_ui(){

    res =

    "dialog {text:'Adres database:', properties:{resizeable:false }, \

        maintabpanel: TabbedPanel { text:'', \

            subtab1panel: Tab { text:'Tab1', \

            }, \

            subtab2panel: Tab { text:'Tab2', \

            }, \

        }, \

    }";

    wininfo = new Window (res);

    wininfo.frameLocation = [100, 100];

    wininfo.margins = 0;

    // Control Escape key

    wininfo.addEventListener('keydown', function (k) { 

        if (k.keyName == 'Escape') {

            wininfo.close();

        }

    });

    wininfo.center();

    wininfo.show();

};

Resource string not work here, but regular code will work.

var w = new Window ("dialog", "Adres database:");
var tpanel = w.add ("tabbedpanel");
var subtab1panel = tpanel.add ("tab", undefined, "Tab1");
var subtab2panel = tpanel.add ("tab", undefined, "Tab2");
w.show();

Since resource-based style is hard to debug, you'd better always use code-based style.

Resource strings do work with tabbed panels, you just have to call it out as a panel and set its "type:" to "tabbedpanel", and to create tabs you create new Panels as children and call out their "type:" as "tab".

Link to thread that explains this.

Res code that will work for you:

res =
    "dialog {text:'Adres database:', properties:{resizeable:false }, \
        maintabpanel: Panel { type: 'tabbedpanel', \
            subtab1panel: Panel { type: 'tab', text:'Tab1', \
            }, \
            subtab2panel: Panel { type: 'tab', text:'Tab2', \
            }, \
        }, \
    }";
