Greetings,

i know there is a way to manage this with radiobuttons, but what's about real tabs in a Photoshop Script UI Dialog? Is there are way yet? If not is it in work by Adobe? Tell me.

Tabbed panels are supported in CS4

Would there be a way to use a row of images with onclick events?

The onclick events would change the displayed images. You'd have 2 images for each tab (one selected and one not). This would be similar to how a web designer would build tabs on a web page.

This sounds like a pain, but maybe it could be done. I'm not an expert on the adobe UI, but this is just a thought.

I don't see any reason why using image buttons would not work in CS3. But I have not seen an example where they where used as tab controls.

I actually am doing just that -- a set of tab graphics with a script that runs under CS2/3/4. The product name is "ClearID" and there is a PC demo that can be downloaded from OceanSystems.com

For each of the tabs, there is a panel that is only visible when that graphic is selected. I have two versions of each tab button -- selected and non, so that when a tab is selected, it's panel is visible and the selected graphic is chosen. Otherwise the unselected graphic is chosen for each tab and the respective panel is not visible.

Works great. Iconbutton spacing is a little off for CS2 vs. CS3, but other than that it works great.
