[xml]<control id="edit_tabs" name="nifty-tabs"
childLayout="vertical" x="110" y="110" height="200px" width="400px">
<control id="tab_1" name="nifty-tab" caption="tab 1" />
<control id="tab_2" name="nifty-tab" caption="tab 2" />
</control>[/xml]
this code displays the tabs properly, but the problem is, the width of the nifty-tab is relative to the width of nifty-tabs!
so when i run this code, the panel created by nifty-tabs has a width too widened and the nifty-tab which creates the button is not of the width of the panel! i tried to set the width of the nifty-tab but it didnt work.
so need help on how to set the width of the buttons in nifty-tab!
set the panel’s latout to horizontal :roll: .
i did, it didnt work.
after setting it to horizontal in the first control of nifty-tabs, the widtn of the button is gettin lesser, and still extra space is left there!
the problem is still the same.
read the manual.
the thing i want to do is, increase the width of the button of a tab.
read, it doesnt say how to increase the width of the button tab! 
@ojasgosar: It may be useful for you http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/nifty-gui/index.php?title=Nifty_Standard_Controls_%28Nifty_1.3%29

It is in the link I gave you.
yea, but the link doesnt mention on how to change the width of the Tab 1(button), are u getting my point?
i m able to get that on ma gui, but i want to change the width of the button, which m unable to!
I don’t know if it’s possible to resize a tab, but and about resizing its panel?Did you already try that?
yea if m resizing the panel, the button is getting re-sized relatively. so that’s not what i want!
i want to individually re-size both button and panel.
Couldu taka print screen?

I’ve just looked into it and it seems like the tab width is hard coded at the moment:
[java] private void createTabButton(final String tabId, final String buttonCaption) {
Element tabButtonPanel = elmnt.findElementByName("#tab-button-panel");
if (tabButtonPanel.findElementByName(tabId + “-button”) == null) {
new ButtonBuilder(tabId + “-button”) {
{
style(“nifty-button”);
childLayout(ChildLayoutType.Horizontal);
interactOnClick(“switchTab(” + tabId + “)”);
width(percentage(25)); // can’t change that currently from outside I think
height(percentage(100));
label(buttonCaption);
}
}.build(nifty, nifty.getCurrentScreen(), tabButtonPanel);
}
}[/java]

Ah yes, I’ve been meaning to fix this to a more flexible method. But then I got sidetracked with work on the TreeBoxControl…
I’ll set about fixing this tonight. There will probably be two new attributes for this: button-width and button-height. Since the general width and height are used for the tabs control as a whole.
