[WB2025] - Tab control
December 05, 2025 10:54AM
Hello

Using WebDev 2025 - Is there a way to control the design of the tabs on the tab control? The default is very basic, square tabs but modern browsers have much nicer, rounded corner tabs. Is it possible to set this somehow?

TIA

Allard,

Thanks but I don't see an option for changing the look of the tabs to e.g. rounded or wider or taller etc. I can only choose a single style-sheet and that offers no options for changing the tab design itself except for being able to choose an image and 3-slice scaling. If it is a case of selecting an image then I have no idea what images I need to use or where to find them or what they should be in order to get the effect I would like.

On another tab I can change the tab color and add an image but these do not allow me to change the width, height, or rounded corners of the tab (to like Excel or FireFox etc.)

I can see on the 7-tabs dialog that there is an image of a more modern tab style (blue with shading and rounded corners) but I do not see or understand how I can create that effect. I assume I need a set of images probably, but where to find that and in what format must they be?

[update] I see there is a place to set various styling for Active Tab and Other Tabs; I can change font, border, etc. I can play around with those but not sure I will be able to emulate FireFox or Excel tabs with these settings but I will give it a try. If anyone has done this before, perhaps you could give me some suggested settings. TIA

Hi

you do not want images .You want to set css . I do not have webdev anymore so I tell you by heart . But it is possible . In the 7 tab window look for css and then a bigger screenopens and then you can select a styl or add a style etc

Sorry I cannot be ore specific .Maybe sombody else can fill out the gab in my suggestion ?


regards

Hello

Yes, for the web you need to know at least the basics of html and css. There are no design limitations when using css.

Hi JP,

The Tab control also has anchoring issues, so as an alternative I made a horizontal looper for the tab buttons and below it a cell with planes.
Clicking on a button simply changes the cell plane.
You have full control over the layout. I can post a small example if you like.

Kind regards,
Piet

Clever solution and thanks for the offer. I currently dont have a problem with anchoring on my pages with the Tab Control. WebDev 2025.

Hi Piet

So your suggestion prompted me to use a similar solution; I used a set of buttons as tabs and switched off the tabs on the tab control completely. One has a lot of control easily over the look and style of the buttons and this achieves the result for me. I only need 5 tabs so it was an easy solution. Thanks!
