I can either have 169 tabs that are a few pixels wide (so they fit on the screen) or set them to a size where I can read them, and scroll WAY WAY WAY over to get from 0 to 168. Lame. Anyone have any better ideas for this Map mod? Has anyone figured out a way to use a listbox yet? I'd just like to reiterate. LAME.

There's really no way around it, the listboxes are hardcoded and you can't get them to do anything that you want. You can't have tabs in tabs. It's kind of a no-win if you really want them all in one screen. __________________ Muse EQ Atlas

Specifically if I use your program and tell it to create 60 JPEGs it makes the tabs too tiny to see. Your program states specifically to put them all into one folder, but is there a way I can modify the xml to use subfolders somehow .... I'm not clear on how multiple folders would resolve the situation ...

Cascade multiple tabboxes

Can't put a TabBox in Page (frame inside a control?) but you could certainly put several TabBoxes on the same page.

Now these could be as tall as you wanted. and you could always access them all via the upper left hand corner, since the active screenpiece would be pulled above the others.

For a better idea of what I mean just right-click on the TASKBAR and cascade your windows (its backwords from how I laid mine out but the same concept.) (you can now right-click undo cascade)
