Code Examples

shared

This example removes a tab panel if a user LeftCtrl+Clicks a tab panel.

function deleteTabOnClick ()
  if ( getKeyState ( "lctrl" ) == true ) and ( getElementType( source ) == "gui-tab" ) then    -- if the user is holding down left control
    guiDeleteTab ( source, getElementParent(source) )                -- delete the tab. No need to check if it was actually a tab that was clicked, as this function doesn't work on other controls anyway
  end
end
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", getRootElement(), deleteTabOnClick  )    -- add an event handler for clicks
