Hi All,
I found WebBrowser 1.1.2 on the software farm. I don't see a user name or author so I don't who to credit or mention. I use a really old iMac for building Gambas apps and I love it but most browsers slow it to a crawl so this app is fairly good replacement for the common browsers. It has tabs using the tabpanel which I really like and the main reason I've been using it but while using the app, the URL tabs are not very wide and I am always accidentally closing tabs. So my question: is there a way to widen the tab part (the top) of the tabpanel? I don't see a way to do that with the properties. If not, any suggestions of an alternative to the tabpanel? I like this app and time permitting I'd like to add a few custom things of my own to it.

No but you could import the source into your project end edit it.
comp/src/gb.form/.src/TabPanel · master · Gambas / gambas · GitLab

Thanks Bruce, I'll take a look at that.

or maybe something like this using the hidden _GetButton() method..

_TabPanel_Button.class inherits UserControl so maybe can set .Width too?

I did a test. seems setting .Expand does not work

This works though…
It manually divides the tabs widths to fill the window using the .Width property.


Another tip..
In my text editor i use this method to set each buttons Tooltips.
So the tab Text just shows the file name but the tabs tooltip shows the full file path of that tabs document.

 Pad the tab name with spaces on both sides?

(Just thinking)

Thanks Bruce. I'll try that when I get a minute. I haven't had a chance to revisit this app as I've been busy with several other projects.
