ROWTABAREA and COLTABAREA

The ROWTABAREA or COLTABAREA container is the representation of a tab control. A tab area consists of the ROWTABAREA or COLTABAREA definition. Inside this definition, you define TABPAGE containers representing the individual pages between which you can navigate.

Example:

<pagebody>
    <rowtabarea height="200" name1="Left Tab" page1="LEFT" name2="Right Tab" page2="RIGHT">
        <tabpage id="LEFT" takefullheight="true">
        </tabpage>
        <tabpage id="RIGHT" takefullheight="true">
        </tabpage>
    </rowtabarea>
</pagebody>

The above XML layout produces the following page:

graphics/image044.png

Inside the ROWTABAREA definition, specify the name and the ID of each area you want to display. Pay attention to the naming of the page* properties: the name must not contain any blank spaces or non-alphanumeric characeters. Start the page* values with a character, not with a number.

Specify the individual toggle areas - by the TABPAGE definition. Each TABPAGE holds an ID which must be equal to the definition on ROWTABAREA level. Each TABPAGE has a display property which is set to "none" for all TABPAGE definitions except the first one.

Each TABPAGE is a container itself - i.e. inside the TABPAGE, place controls (or containers) by adding ITR or TR rows and place elements into these rows.

ROWTABAREA Properties

Basic
height	Height of the control. There are three possibilities to define the height: (A) You do not define a height at all. As consequence the control will be rendered with its default height. If the control is a container control (containing) other controls then the height of the control will follow the height of its content. (B) Pixel sizing: just input a number value (e.g. "20"). (C) Percentage sizing: input a percantage value (e.g. "50%"). Pay attention: percentage sizing will only bring up correct results if the parent element of the control properly defines a height this control can reference. If you specify this control to have a height of 50% then the parent element (e.g. an ITR-row) may itself define a height of "100%". If the parent element does not specify a width then the rendering result may not represent what you expect.	Obligatory	100 150 200 250 300 250 400 50% 100%
leftindent	Inserts a horizontal distance left of the first "tab" and shifts the "tabs" to the right as consequence. The value you may define represents the number of pixels that are inserted.	Optional	1 2 3 int-value
scrollable	If set to "true" then small icons will appear on the right border of the control. If the size of the "tabs" is too big and some tabs are cut as consequence then you can use these icons for scrolling left and right.	Optional	true false

COLTABAREA Properties

The properties of COLTABAREA are very similar to those of ROWTABAREA.

Basic
width	Width of the control. There are three possibilities to define the width: (A) You do not define a width at all. In this case the width of the control will either be a default width or - in case of container controls - it will follow the width that is occupied by its content. (B) Pixel sizing: just input a number value (e.g. "100"). (C) Percentage sizing: input a percantage value (e.g. "50%"). Pay attention: percentage sizing will only bring up correct results if the parent element of the control properly defines a width this control can reference. If you specify this control to have a width of 50% then the parent element (e.g. an ITR-row) may itself define a width of "100%". If the parent element does not specify a width then the rendering result may not represent what you expect.	Obligatory	100 120 140 160 180 200 50% 100%
leftindent	Inserts a horizontal distance left of the first "tab" and shifts the "tabs" to the right as consequence. The value you may define represents the number of pixels that are inserted.	Optional	1 2 3 int-value

TABPAGE Properties

Basic
id	Id of the TABPAGE. Each page has a certain id that reference to the PAGE1 .. PAGE9 deifnition you do inside the ROW/COLTABAREA control that contains the TABPAGE. If clicking onto a "tab" then the TABPAGE with the associated id is displayed as consequence.	Obligatory
display	Initial display status of the TABPAGE. The first TABPAGE inside the ROW/COLTABAREA control must be set to "". All others need to be set ot "none". - If a ROW/COLTABAREA should show up with two or more pages being visible one below the other then check the setting of this property!"	Sometimes obligatory
takefullheight	Indicates if the content of the control's area gets the full available height. If you use percentage sizing inside the control's area then this property must be switched to 'true'. If you use no explicit vertical sizing at all - or you use vertical pixel sizing for your controls - the property must be switched to 'false'. Background information: container control's internally open up a table in which you place rows (ITR/TR) which then hold controls (e.g. LABEL/FIELD). The table that is opened up normally has no explicit height and grows with its content as consequence. By specifying "takefullheight=true" the table itself is sized to fill the maximum height of the available area.	Optional	true false
fixlayout	The fixlayout property is important for saving rendering performance inside your browser. To become effective it requires to have specified the height and the width (if available as property) of the control. If setting fixlayout to "true" then the control's area is defined as area which is not sized dependent on its content (as normally done with table rendering). Instead the size is predefined from outside without letting the browser "look" into the content of the area. If the content is not fitting into the area then it is cut. You typically use this control if the content of the control's area is flexibly sizable. E.g. if the content (e.g. a TEXTGRID control) is following the size of the container. When using vertical percentage based sizing you should pay attention to set the fixlayout-property to "true" as often as possible. - The browser as consequence will be much faster in doing its rendering because a screen consists out of "building blocks" with simple to calculate sizes.	Optional	true false
comment	Comment without any effect on rendering and behaviour. The comment is shown in the layout editor's tree view.	Optional

The Most Common Error

Do you receive errors when clicking in the tabs? Then take a further look at the ID assignments in the ROWTABAREA or COLTABAREA control on the one hand, and in the TABPAGE control on the other hand: each page* property of a ROWTABAREA or COLTABAREA defines an ID that must exactly match an id property of TABPAGE.

If you have more than one ROWTABAREA or COLTABAREA inside your page: do not use the same IDs - each ID must be unique throughout one page.

Example: Controlling which Tab is displayed by the Server Adapter

The following example demonstrates the usage of the property openedindexprop on ROWTABAREA level:

graphics/image045.png

The user selects the value of the property index using the combo control. The index property controls also which tab is displayed inside the ROWTABAREA control.

The layout definition is as follows:

<pagebody>
    <rowarea name="Dynamic setting of index in TABAREA">
        <itr>
            <label name="Index" width="100">
            </label>
            <combofix valueprop="index" size="1" flush="server">
                <combooption name="First  (=0)" value="0">
                </combooption>
                <combooption name="Second  (=1)" value="1">
                </combooption>
                <combooption name="Third (=2)" value="2">
                </combooption>
            </combofix>
        </itr>
    </rowarea>
    <rowtabarea height="200" openedindexprop="index"
                name1="First" page1="FIRST"
                name2="Second" page2="SECOND"
                name3="Third" page3="THIRD">
        <tabpage id="FIRST">
        </tabpage>
        <tabpage id="SECOND">
        </tabpage>
        <tabpage id="THIRD">
        </tabpage>
    </rowtabarea>
</pagebody>

Example: Controlling the Visibility of Tab Pages

For each individual tab page, you can control at runtime whether it is visible or not. The following example allows the user to control the visibility of tabs using check boxes:

graphics/image046.png

The XML layout is:

<rowtabarea height="100" name1="Rich" page1="RICH" visibleprop1="page1Visibility"
                         name2="User" page2="USER" visibleprop2="page2Visibility"
                         name3="Intefaces" page3="INTERFACES" visibleprop3="page3Visibility"
                         name4="for" page4="FOR" visibleprop4="page4Visibility"
                         name5="Business" page5="BUSINESS" visibleprop5="page5Visibility"
                         name6="Applications" page6="APPLICATIONS"
                                              visibleprop6="page6Visibility">
    <tabpage id="RICH">
        <vdist height="20">
        </vdist>
        <itr>
            <hdist width="60">
            </hdist>
            <label name="Rich" asplaintext="true" textalign="center">
            </label>
        </itr>
    </tabpage>
    <tabpage id="USER">
        ...
    </tabpage>
    ...
    ...
    ...
<rowarea name="Visibility">
    <itr>
        <checkbox valueprop="page1Visibility" flush="server">
        </checkbox>
        <hdist>
        </hdist>
        <label name="Rich" asplaintext="true">
        </label>
        <hdist width="10">
        </hdist>
        <checkbox valueprop="page2Visibility" flush="server">
        </checkbox>
        <hdist>
        </hdist>
        <label name="User" asplaintext="true">

        <label name="Interfaces" asplaintext="true">

        <hdist width="10">
        </hdist>
        <checkbox valueprop="page4Visibility" flush="server">
        </checkbox>
        <hdist>
        </hdist>
        <label name="for" asplaintext="true">
        </label>
        <hdist width="10">
        </hdist>
        <checkbox valueprop="page5Visibility" flush="server">
        </checkbox>
        <hdist>
        </hdist>
        <label name="Business" asplaintext="true">
        </label>
        <hdist width="10">
        </hdist>
        <checkbox valueprop="page6Visibility" flush="server">
        </checkbox>
        <hdist>
        </hdist>
        <label name="Applications" asplaintext="true">
        </label>
        <hdist width="10">
        </hdist>
    </itr>
</rowarea>

You see that the definition of the properties that control the visibility of tab pages is done in the ROWTABAREA (not on TABPAGE level). The check boxes reference the same adapter properties as used on ROWTABAREA level.

Note:
In the previous example, the openedindexprop property of the ROWTABAREA was used. Be aware of the fact that each tab page still keeps its stable index position - no matter whether it is displayed or not.
