Tabs are actually pretty simple to layout once you get used to it. Just took some time combing the actions window to figure out how. A tabbed window will have an included piece of type TabBox. The tabbox has included pages of type Page. The order of the pages in the tabbox determines display order left to right. Each page has the normal assortment of pieces that you would see in an untabbed window. Each page also has specification for whether the page tab will be text or icon and what the active and inactive version will look like. Right now looking at whether nested tabs are possible (tab page with with tabs within). If nested tabs are possible, plan to try them for a map or recipe window. Nested tabs would involve creating a new TabBox entry to place in the Page entry of the next higher tab level. Talking exponential growth of file here. Probably wont go more than 2 levels deep simply because dont want to write a file that rivals the animation file in length.

Testing was done by putting my timer mod, which uses 10 tabs to implement the tick marker feature, into the above mentioned windows. The XML I used can be generated with my web tool, by selecting a configuration containing the tick marker: http://www.horizonsoutpost.com/eq/customize.asp __________________ Arista Former Enchanter of The Seventh Hammer TimerMod - Timer Utility for EverQuest UI

Anyway, take your time on the maps thing, but i have to say i'm really looking forward to it. The current map program is kind of cumbersome and difficult to use, i hope that you're able to remedy that. Some kind of zone connection map for the main areas, with links to the zone's map itself, would be reeeeeealy cool--if it's possible. You may only be able to do this in the help window though, since only it reads html. Since you really can't edit the help.html since it gets overwritten by the patcher (which you *can* get around but it's a pain) and it's also against the EULA (as far as i've heard) to modify anything that's outside the uifiles directory. Which would include the help.html.

What I think might work, if you haven't already found another way to do this, is make some kind of button in the EQUI_HelpWnd.xml that links to the html file which in turn links to the rest of your map files. I'm not sure how it is done but someone named strega managed it with his tradeskill window. I think.

Anyway, good luck, take it easy, and i look forward to the fruits of your labour!

you have to glance at the information? I use extended osmosis. leave books in car, and their information gets to my brain. My track record with tests is every time I study, I fail, every time I don't study at all, I get the top grade.
