Windows API: Enumerating Clarion Tab Windows
2002-12-17 -- Jim Kane
 
Newsgroups: TopSpeed.Topic.Language it looks like x-spy that comes with visual c. the key info is that the window you want is a child of the client area. To get the hwnd, enumchildwindows() and for each window found call getclassname() untill you find cla$tab or what ever it is you want. Once you have the hwnd, call getwindowtext() to read the text. you can also call getwindowlong() to read the style and find the first tab - the one with the ws_group style. Once you have that you can read the others in order with getnextdlggroupitem() or soon as you find one tab in the enumeration use that api to with the direction flag set to true to move thru the tabs to the first tab then reverse teh direction flag and go to the last to get all of them. I've always found the clarion properties and event relating to tabs to be adequate for anything I wanted so I'm curious what your trying to do? May be a little drawicon()?
