NOTEBOOK Statement

Syntax:

  NOTEBOOK   id, x, y, width, height[, style]

The NOTEBOOK statement creates a notebook control within the dialog window. This control is used to organize information on individual pages so that it can be located and displayed easily. The NOTEBOOK statement defines the identifier, position, dimensions, and attributes of a notebook control. The predefined class for this control is WC_NOTEBOOK. If you do not specify a style, the default style is WS_TABSTOP and WS_VISIBLE.

id

Specifies the control identifier. The value is a signed integer -32768 through 32767, an unsigned integer in the range of 1 through 65535, or a simple expression that evaluates to a value in these ranges.
x
Specifies the x-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the control. The value is a signed integer -32768 through 32767 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (-) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog units and is relative to the origin of the dialog window.
y
Specifies the y-coordinate of the lower-left corner of the control. The value is a signed integer -32768 through 32767 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (-) operator. The coordinate is assumed to be in dialog units and is relative to the origin of the dialog window.
width
Specifies the width of the control. The value is any integer 0 through 65535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (-) operator. The width is in n-character units.
height
Specifies the height of the control. The value is any integer 0 through 65535 or an expression consisting of integers and the addition (+) or subtraction (-) operator. The height is in 1/8-character units.

Comments

The NOTEBOOK statement is used only in a DIALOG or WINDOW statement.

Example

This example creates a notebook control at position (20, 20) within the dialog window. The notebook has a width of 200 character units and a height of 50 character units. Its resource identifier is 201. The tabs style BKS_ROUNDEDTABS specification overrides the notebook default style of square tabs. The default styles WS_TABSTOP and WS_GROUP are both in effect, though only the latter is specified.

#define    IDC_NOTEBOOK     201#define    IDD_NOTEBOOKDLG  503
DIALOG "Notebook", IDD_NOTEBOOKDLG, 11, 11, 420, 420, FS_NOBYTEALIGN |
        WS_VISIBLE, FCF_SYSMENU | FCF_TITLEBAR
  BEGIN
    NOTEBOOK   IDC_NOTEBOOK, 20, 20, 200, 400, BKS_ROUNDEDTABS | WS_GROUP
