    hi guys!

    i want to create a frame, and that frame has 2 tabbed buttons with OptionsFrameTabButtonTemplate inheritance with pure LUA

    and here is my half code:

     local MF = CreateFrame("Frame","MYmainFrame",UIParent);
 MF:SetFrameStrata("DIALOG");
 MF:SetWidth(700);
 MF:SetHeight(524);

 MF:SetBackdrop({bgFile = "Interface/DialogFrame/UI-DialogBox-Background", 
 edgeFile = "Interface/DialogFrame/UI-DialogBox-Border",
 tile = true, tileSize = 32, edgeSize = 32, 
 insets = { left = 11, right = 12, top = 12, bottom = 11 }});

 MF:SetBackdropColor(0,0,0,1);

 MF:SetPoint("CENTER",0,0);

 local MF_titleBG = MF:CreateTexture(nil,"ARTWORK");
 MF_titleBG:SetTexture("Interface/DialogFrame/UI-DialogBox-Header");
 MF_titleBG:SetWidth(280);
 MF_titleBG:SetHeight(64);
 MF_titleBG:SetPoint("TOP", MF, 0, 12);
 MF.texture = MF_titleBG;

 local MF_titleText = MF:CreateFontString(nil, "ARTWORK", "GameFontNormalSmall");
 MF_titleText:SetText('The Title');
 MF_titleText:SetPoint("TOP", MF, 0, -3);

 local Tab_1 = CreateFrame('Button', "$parentTab1", MF, "OptionsFrameTabButtonTemplate");
 Tab_1:SetID(1);
 Tab_1:SetText('tab one');
 Tab_1:SetPoint("CENTER", MF, "TOPLEFT", 100, -50);

 local Tab_2 = CreateFrame('Button', "$parentTab2", MF, "OptionsFrameTabButtonTemplate");
 Tab_2:SetID(1);
 Tab_2:SetText('tab two');
 Tab_2:SetPoint("LEFT", Tab_1, "RIGHT", -16, 0);

 MF:Show();

    ...as you see i should append the OnLoad event script and of course the content of the 2 tab references and other things but i am a novice and i don't know exactly how to properly do this... at that current state the 2 tabs shown properly but the frames aren't fitted to the text of the tabs... please help me guys at this.

    thank you!

    ...ps - the code block didn't formatted properly the code, sorry for that :S -
