Its obvious that will not work, because you aren't you using \t \t, the TABLIST dialog have a sctructure, and what you're trying to do on TABLIST is use it as a DIALOG_STYLE_LIST on the first row and use as a TABLIST at 2nd and 3rd, thats why i told you it makes no sense, if you don't want to follow the structure i think you have to use DIALOG_STYLE_LIST. What youre tring to can be compared as try to use DIALOG_STYLE_LIST and DIALOG_MSG_BOX at same dialog, will not work correctly and makes no sense...
