[API] AddTabbed

Hi,

I am having a problem with the AddTabbed Method found in UIEnvironment.Windows .
How do I have to use the 2nd parameter and for what?

All I want to do is adding a new tab in the main tab selection.

This is what I came up with so far.

ToolWindow tw = new ToolWindow();
tw.Caption = "MyTabbedToolwindow";
System.Windows.Forms.Button b = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
b.Text = "ClickMe";
tw.Control = b;
UIEnvironment.Windows.AddTabbed(tw, tw2);  
 
So what or where is tw2?! ;)

  • Hi,

    The referenceWindow parameter is needed to specify the tab group to which you want to add the window. To add a tab beside the object browser, you should do like this:

    UIEnvironment.Windows.AddTabbed(tw,
        UIEnvironment.Windows["ObjectBrowser"] as ToolWindow);

    regards,
