Hi Chris,

Do you think is possible to highlight the current tab in the editor? It is really helpfull with working with multiple files.

thanks.

Hi Irwin,

Do you mean by using a box like in the picture, or in a another way? XIDE uses a regular WinForms TabControl for the files, if you give me some code that makes it work as you like it, I will add it in XIDE (optionally)!

Hi Chris,

May be changing the tab color or font bold, even the caption, you can prepped a "➤ " to easily find the current tab.

thanks.

Hi Irwin,

OK, will look into it, it's just that unfortunately it's not easy to adjust this in WinForms.

Hi Chris,
PMFJI: a colored tab header for the currently selected item would be a very cool feature.

Guys,

Thanks, I know about this, it's what I wanted to avoid doing


Problem is when you start drawing standard things manually, all kind of graphical issues may appear in different configurations. I already have some issues in the Project treeview, where I'm manually painting some nodes bold etc.

But will look into it, again thanks for offering to help!

Hi Chris,
I'm also trying to avoid OwnerDraw and CustomDraw things, but sometimes my customers are asking things where that is absolutely needed.

Guys,

I can't believe this, I had already implemented drawing of tab page caption long ago!! Actually had implemented another request, painting them in different colors same for each app and also in a different way the active one! But it indeed has some issues with text going sometimes out of the tab area, so had temporarily disabled it and then forgot about it...

I will revise this again and try to make it look nicer, but even if it's not perfect I will send it to you guys to see if it works well enough for you.

Hi Chris,
should I now confirm that this is something I have also from time to time in my own projects?
I try to implement something and then I see I had realized that several years ago.....
