DCTABPAGE

[STLau]

The DCTABPAGE behave different from old version. The old version display the sub tabpage nicely when we define @0,0 DCTABPAGE. The latest version 253 overlap the sub tabpage with the main tabpage. If I change it to @1,0 for the sub page, it will display a gap in between main page and sub tab page depending on resolution.

Note:-

The code is as follow:-

@0,0 DCTABPAGE oTabPage1 CAPTION 'General' SIZE 125,25 TABWIDTH 15
DCSETPARENT to oTabPage1
@0,0 DCTABPAGE oTabPage1A CAPTION 'General Page 1' SIZE 125,25 TABWIDTH 15 RELATIVE oTABPAGE1
@0,0 DCTABPAGE oTabPage1B CAPTION 'General Page 2' RELATIVE oTABPAGE1A
@0,0 DCTABPAGE oTabPage1C CAPTION 'General Page 3' RELATIVE oTABPAGE1B
DCSETPARENT to oTabPage1A
....
....

The above code under xBASE1.82 and express 236 is OK ( windows XP )
The same code under xBase1.9 and express 253 have overlapping problem ( windows-7 )

Please see attached screen dump.

It appears as though this is somehow related to the ::staticArea of the Tabpage.

I need to know which version of eXpress++ you were using prior to 253.
I need to compare source code to understand why you are having this problem.

Apparently, in the previous version, your subtabs were on the ::staticArea (XbpStatic) of the parent tabs, where in 253, your subtabs are on the XbpTabPage object.

I don't know what was changed in eXpress++ that would make this happen, except that Alaska fixed a problem with tabpages in 1.9 that no longer required a staticarea.

I suggest that you just move the first subtab in your group down 1 row to compensate for this.
