Tabs

[MasseyRob]

Hi All

We are just starting to experiment with PWBv3 after using v2 for many years, and we have come across a couple of wee things that would be good to get a handle on if there is way to go about this.

First is, is there a way to make the tabs bigger/more prominent?

Second is, we are wanting multiple tabs to open, but when they open, the first tab (in this case, the one set in the [Browser] HomePage field is not the default tab. It shows on the left side of the tab area as expected, but the second tab that is loaded as entered in the [MultipleHomeTabs] area is the tab which is displayed first (I hope this makes sense). Is there a way to make the first tab be the one that is displaying when PWB starts? This niggle showed up both in the IE engine and Chrome engine versions.

If you need more information, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Cheers

Rob

We have added tab sizes to our to do list for PWB v3.

PWB 3.04.5 CEF now available on the Beta Downloads page has the following added to it.

Added:
[Browser]SetFocusTab= Sets focus to tab (0 based) when multiple home tabs is used.

Hi Scott

Thanks for the info. The set focus tab function will hit the nail on the head. Will this be available in the IE version also?

It will be available in the IE version, however we are only Beta Testing the CEF version at this point in time.

Hi Scott

I see the latest version of the IE PWB3 now has the SetFocusTab in the Browser settings. Thanks for sorting this.

I was wondering though, how do I use this? I checked the documentation "Sets focus to tab (0 based) when multiple home tabs is used.", but I am not entirely sure how this is set so I can get the tab I want focused on to the front.

As always, all assistance greatly appreciated.

Cheers

In PWB 3.05.0 when using "MultipleHomeTabs" the tabs are opened in order after the default home page.

[Browser]
HomePage=https://www.loc.gov/

[MultipleHomeTabs]
Search=https://www.google.com
WebMail=https://www.hotmail.com
OtherTab=http://www.yahoo.com

The above will open 4 tabs when PWB starts. The Home Page is tab "0", "Search" is tab 1, "WebMail" is tab 2, and "OtherTab" is tab 3. The following setting will set the focus on the home page tab, tab 0.

[Browser]
SetFocusTab=0

The following would set the focus to the "WebMail" tab.

[Browser]
SetFocusTab=2

Hi Scott

Cool.. that was sort of the way I had interpreted it, but it was not working.. but I now see that I had used the download link on the front page which is 3.0.4.5 which the pwb.ini file had the reference to the setfocustab.

I will download the beta of 3.0.5.0 and have a play

Cheers
