ASTabMenu1.AddTab(xui.Color_ARGB(152,39, 174, 97),"Test1",ASTabMenu1.FontToBitmap(Chr(0xF179),False,30,xui.Color_White),"")
ASTabMenu1.AddTab(xui.Color_ARGB(255,39, 174, 97),"Test3",ASTabMenu1.FontToBitmap(Chr(0xF11B),False,30,xui.Color_White),"")
ASTabMenu1.AddTab(xui.Color_ARGB(152,39, 174, 97),"Test4",ASTabMenu1.FontToBitmap(Chr(0xE859),True,30,xui.Color_White),"")
ASTabMenu1.AddTab(xui.Color_ARGB(255,39, 174, 97),"Test5",ASTabMenu1.FontToBitmap(Chr(0xF011),False,30,xui.Color_White),"")
ASTabMenu1.AddTab(xui.Color_ARGB(152,39, 174, 97),"Test6",ASTabMenu1.FontToBitmap(Chr(0xF1E2),False,30,xui.Color_White),"")
