I used to love using the Content pane tabs, Insertions = Insert at end feature, but now it seems to be a bit confused by the Layout Policy = Multiple rows. If I have enough files opened, and they wrap the tabs, the next file I open will put the file on the top row at the end, not at the end of the tabs. I believe in the other JBs, it would put it at the end of all the tabs. The only way I can figure I can get it to work the way I would like is to put Layout policy = Single Row, but then I get the scroll bar and the filenames with ellipses. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour?

Hi Bill. Thanks for the reply. I just tested this out in JB9Ent, and it behaves the way I would expect, with the additional opened files going to the very end of the tabs (even when the rows wrap). Is it possible part of the problem I'm seeing has to do with the Label Maximum Width? I have the default value in JBX, but there doesn't appear to be any of that in JB9. When things wrap in JBX, I have a big gap on the tabs on the first line, and that's where the new opened filename goes, which is IMHO wrong. Any ideas? Thanks.

I believe the Windows LnF and the Borland LnF behave differently. I just tried the Windows LnF and it puts the files at the right place. What would the Borland LnF do this differently?

The Windows Look & Feel emulates the behavior of Windows XP, and that behavior is different from any other L&F. When there are multiple rows of tabs, Microsoft switches the rows during selection so that the row with the active tab is always bottommost. (Many people including myself find that highly annoying behavior.) "Flip" <[remove]phenry_w (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Interesting.

Figures! : Quote: When there are multiple rows of tabs, Microsoft switches the rows during selection so that the row with the active tab is always bottommost. (Many people including myself find that highly annoying behavior.) Ah, that's right, I remember seeing that yesterday when I was writing this up! I just did it again (loading enough tabs to have multiple rows) and the Borland LnF keeps the tabs in the same position even after additions, nice. The Windows one didn't do that. However, the thing is the Borland LnF did put the newly opened file on the top row (where there was enough room cause the tabs/filenames on the second row are big, there are three that take up the whole row, but the top row doesn't :<). I guess what I would like is the "At End" to actually put the new opened file at the end of the tabs instead of at the end of the current row. Thanks.

It has no control over what Look & Feel you have selected or how that L&F chooses to draw them. JBX has an option where you can set the maximum width of a tab if you want to be able to cram as many as possible per row. Again, the L&F does the tab layout and the drawing of tabs. Many people choose to use vertical tabs so they can get more tabs without having multiple rows. "Flip" <[remove]phenry_w (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: You have it reversed.
