Hi,

I would like to implement a a reordering of tabpages in a tab control using the mouse (drag&drop) - like the browsers can do.

I think it would require some Win API calls to make it done.

I believe John Fauss might have some interesting ideas on how to do this (based on previous great examples). Am I right? :-)

 

Regards

Tomáš

Hi, Tomáš -

Although it is not graphically as slick as what you are accustomed to seeing/using in a browser application, there is a way to do this.

Because the Q&A Editor has been reluctant lately to include any zip file that I attach, I've proactively uploaded the zip file that contains the (hopefully attached) TabDragDrop sample app to my Google Drive:

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tsI3dTl4fJGcW2jNJEVTVJPvyInM7DE6/view?usp=sharing

Since PB already supports DragDrop functionality in the Tab control, implementing this was not too difficult and it did not require much coding. The u_base_tab user object contains the code and behavior.

I hope this meets your needs.

Best regards, John
