Adding a new tab using Automation Interface API
« on: October 28, 2009, 02:33:59 am »
Greetings,

Is it possible to add a tab, like the "Testing" or "System" tabs, and customize its contents using the automation interface?

Cheers,

Pedro Costa

Have you tried the "AddTab" or "CreateOutputTab" operations on Repository?

Hi Geert,

The AddTab function allows me to create a customized view. The other function creates an output tab. Neither of those functions satisfy my needs.

Cheers,

You can't do it in the current version...

But there's one more reason to look forward to the next version. ;)

Thanks a lot Simon,

I'm sorry to bother again, but is there a document that shows the capabilities/features of the automation interface? In order to understand the API, i'm using the chm help file and Sparx's web site.

I'm also looking for an answer to the following questions:

- Is it possible to interact with the status bar? I.e, can i, for instance, show customized text to it?
- Can i create my own toolbars?

Thanks in advance,

Pedro Costa

The documentation of the automation interface is within the chm file.
