Can anyone tell me how I should create a page wth 3 tabs?
I tried to drag & drop from the gallery, but this doesn't work. How should I accomplish this?

Best regards,
Dennis.

Check out the files section. I have downloaded some great .ncf's with a 2 and 3 tab feature on them. They work and look great. If you can't find them let me know. Regards Butch

I used one of them, but can't figure out how they have been built.
I want to know how they've built the tabbed pages.

I assume it works the same way as on the Pronto, the tab is just a button with a jump to a different panel.

VeryPSB, here's how I was able to get this to work (sorry if it's a little too basic):

1. Create a new button on your page
2. Delete the "when pressed" bitmap for that button
3. Change the icon on the unpressed bitmap to one of the tabs (just pick the right icon from the gallery and then close the gallery)
4. Move the tab-button into position

I have had a lot of trouble getting the tabs to fit... it takes a very steady hand with the mouse to get it in just the right spot.

You know you can use your keyboard, right? The arrow keys? Jeeze, if I had to position all my buttons by mouse, I would've gone insane!

As far as being steady, just click on the bitmap then use your arrow keys to move it around. No need to fool with the mouse.

The width of 1 white and 2 gray tabs is 100 pixels.
That?s exactly the allowable width on a page.
When the tab bitmap is selected an extra pixel or 2 of empty space is needed for it to be dropped into a page.
When a tab is pasted into a page the icon is not fully left justified, so the first 2 tabs need to be manually moved into a corner before there is room for the 3rd tab.
The 3rd tab needs to be created in a separate row then slid into place with the tabs in the tab row.

I even had trouble creating a 96 pixel button on it?s own row!
Initially it was center justified.
The trick was to slide the naked button as far left as possible before selecting the bitmap.
Then center justifying it.
