Re^2: TK: adding notebook tabs dynamically

Dynatabframe sounds great.

I am having trouble getting it to work (XP, activestate).

Am I / how am I using it wrong? Thanks for the help!

use strict;

use Tk;
use Tk::DynaTabFrame;

my @tab;

my $top = MainWindow->new();
my $nb  = $top->DynaTabFrame;

&add_tab() for 1 .. 6;

$nb->pack;
MainLoop();

my $i   = 0;
sub add_tab {
    $i++;
    print "adding  tab $i\n";
    $tab[$i] = $nb->add(
        -caption  => 'Tab label' . $i,
        -tabcolor => 'black',
    );
    $tab[$i]->Label( -text => 'dsdss' );

}

You have a really bad placement of your my $i = 0 line. But the reason your code dosn't work is you need to pack in the sub. `#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use Tk; use Tk::DynaTabFrame; my @tab; my $top = MainWindow->new(); my $nb = $top->DynaTabFrame->pack; my $i = 0; for(1..6){ &add_tab()}; MainLoop(); sub add_tab { $i++; print "adding tab $i\n"; $tab[$i] = $nb->add( -caption => 'Tab label' . $i, -tabcolor => 'black', )->pack; $tab[$i]->Label( -text => 'dsdss' )->pack; }` [download] I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. flash japh	[reply] [d/l]

Personally i have found tixnotebook much easier to use. i had similar/same problem with update of the notebook using tknotebook. in tixnotebook you can also color the background of each tab, have soft or sharp corners etc.	[reply]
