I can't seem to figure out this one... where does it state where the tab action buttons go? I dont see an offset or a location X/Y for the buttons, just refrence to the border and page layout.

could someone point me in the right direction as far as how I can re-arange where the tabs go in the Actions window?

Thanks

Not totally positive what you mean? Are you referring to which order the tabs themselves show up in? (as in Main, Abilities, Combat, Socials) Or ?

Yes. like so..


T1-T2-T3-T4
--------------------------------

action1 action2

action3 action4

action5 action6

action7 action8


example would be the actions window, where T1, T2, T3, T4 are the tab icons/buttons.

What I want to know is where in the Actions.xml file does is the location of those icons/buttons declared?

Thanks

Okay, if we are actually discussing the same thing, where T1=Main, T2=Abilites, T3=Combat and T4=Socials, and you are wanting to change the order they appear in, so that T1 becomes Socials and T4 becomes Main (as an example), then you need to go to:

<TabBox item = "ACTW_ActionsSubwindows">
<ScreenID>ACTW_ActionsSubwindows</ScreenID>
<!--<Font>3</Font>-->
<RelativePosition>true</RelativePosition>

<AutoStretch>true</AutoStretch>
<TopAnchorToTop>true</TopAnchorToTop>
<BottomAnchorToTop>false</BottomAnchorToTop>
<LeftAnchorToLeft>true</LeftAnchorToLeft>
<RightAnchorToLeft>false</RightAnchorToLeft>

<TabBorderTemplate>FT_DefTabBorder</TabBorderTemplate>
<PageBorderTemplate>FT_DefPageBorder</PageBorderTemplate>
<Pages>ActionsMainPage</Pages>
<Pages>ActionsAbilitiesPage</Pages>
<Pages>ActionsCombatPage</Pages>
<Pages>ActionsSocialsPage</Pages>
</TabBox>


And order the <Pages> part in the order you want them in. ie, using the example I gave, you would have:

<Pages>ActionsSocialsPage</Pages>
<Pages>ActionsAbilitiesPage</Pages>
<Pages>ActionsCombatPage</Pages>
<Pages>ActionsMainPage</Pages>

If you are meaning something else, I'm sorry, try explaining again and I'll try understanding again, see if we can get so we are both talking about the same thing. *grin*

Well.. that is part of what I was asking... but the other part is what if I wanted to place the actual buttons/icons somewhere else on the same box..

what I want to do is put the tabs vertically on the left side, make the whole box narrower, and just a single row of buttons on the right side

see attached.. (not my best artistic work) LOL.

you can't.
The SIDL.DOC states the TAB ICON when existing is placed to the left of the TAB TEXT.
The TABS themselves will appear at the top of the page and sized to fit automatically (hardcoded).

So your tabs will always be at the top and arranged from left to right.
