Hi there,

I've been designing a GUI in IGOR that has quite a few tabs and for mostly aesthetic reasons I'd like to make two rows of tabs. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!
No, our tab controls don't support that.

If you need lots of tabs, one possibility is to use a popmenu control to select the tab. I like to put the content of each tab into a panel subwindow- that makes it easy to show and hide the controls for a given tab. All you have to do is show/hide the subwindow using SetWindow hide=1 or hide = 0.

Personally, and maybe your situation is different, I find that if I want that many tabs it's probably better to do something a bit different. But without know your application I can't really make suggestions.
