Re: [WIN] Win32Lib tab items: programmatically select; and disable?

Hi Dan,
use setFocus() to select a specific tab item.

The standard Windows tab control does not support disabling a given tab
item. Your best bet would be to create a sequence that contains all the IDs
for the controls in each tab item and then use setEnabled(tabitemseq,
False). This would still allow people to click on the tab item, but all the
controls in there would be gray.

In a way, this is analagous to having a menu selectable but all its menu
items disabled.

If there is a pressing need to really disable a tab item, I'll work on a way
to do that in future.

Derek.
