lol. tabs [edit]

Rincewind asked if it was possible to rearrange the tabs.
I kinda figured the most straightforward way would be the firefox way; to just drag them around. unfortunately I have not been able to find such a tab control (yes shareware ones, but nobody likes a program that says "Thank you for evaluating super special tab control by supersoft, please register in 15 days".
So I figured I'd try to make one myself...
Kinda learned a lot about designing activex controls in the process:

it draws in whatever theme is available too.
it's also a little buggy. so until I fix that, no progress on the IDE...
[edit]
fixed one bug, another one pops up. You can't drag the most right tab one position to the left. ugh.
as for the new screenshot, yeah, I think it now has a bit more functionality than the standard tab control XD

I hope therefore your tab control will be released as freeware to make up for the lack of avaliable freeware tab control

Well done. The arrow I see on the screenshot, that's used to select where a tab will come or can you drag them around?
