Subject: How to add button to TabWorkspace?

As you all likely know, I've been working on a web browser. and it's going to feature tabbed browsing. Also, the application is MDI based, and I use child windows as "Browsers". Now, I've gotten quite familiar with the tabworkspace, But, I'm needing some urgent help with two problems.

My first problem, is I'd like to add a button to the tabworkspace bar, maybe a "Add tab" button or so. Problem is, I have NO IDEA how I would go about doing this.

Now, my second problem, would be that, I would like the tabworkspace to only be visible when multiple "Browsers" or child windows are opened. In other words, I'd like for it to be invisible when only 1 or less is open. 2 or more then it should be visible.

Alright, I'd VERY much appreciate whoever can help me with this, and I promise to give credit where it's due when I release my browser. Thanks!

P.S. I develop using the current version of this product, (Non-BETA), and I use Visual Basic 6.0 Service Pack 6. Hope that helps.

Hello,

We have StylerBrowser application http://www.codejock.com/downloads/samples/utilities.asp - http://www.codejock.com/downloads/samples/utilities.asp that can be good start for your browser. But it used C++ code.

With ActiveX version there is no way to add additional button.

By the way Oleg, You didn't answer my other problem, Is there a way to hide the workspace when only one childwindow is open?

Hi,

1. No, this sampes use our MFC version of library.

another Explorer wrapper that use our MFC version is http://www.maxthon.com/ - http://www.maxthon.com/

2. You can try call ShowTabWorkspace(True/False) in _Load form and _Unload of Document Form. Think will work.

Yeah, I figured it would be similar to that, But how do I make it to where it would only hide the workspacebar when there's only one? How can I make it "know" wether or not it's just one?
