TABSTRIP2

The TABSTRIP2 control is used to navigate through certain aspects of your application. The way you navigate depends completely on your implementation.

The following topics are covered below:


Example

The control looks as follows:

graphics/image094.png

For each aspect, there is one tab holding a name and an index. The left-most tab holds index 1, the next one 2, etc.

Adapter Interface

1 TABS
2 SELINDEX (I4)
2 TSITEMS (1:*)
3 NAME (U) DYNAMIC

Built-in Events

value-of-tabstripprop.onSelect

Properties

Basic
tabstripprop

Name of the adapter parameter that represents the control in the adapter.

Optional  
align

Horizontal alignment of the control's content. Default is "center".

Optional

left

center

right

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

backgroundstyle

CSS style definition that is directly passed into this control.

With the style you can individually influence the rendering of the control. You can specify any style sheet expressions. Examples are:

border: 1px solid #FF0000

background-color: #808080

You can combine expressions by appending and separating them with a semicolon.

Sometimes it is useful to have a look into the generated HTML code in order to know where direct style definitions are applied. Press right mouse-button in your browser and select the "View source" or "View frame's source" function.

Optional

background-color: #FF0000

color: #0000FF

font-weight: bold

comment

Comment without any effect on rendering and behaviour. The comment is shown in the layout editor's tree view.

Optional  
scrollleftimage

URL of image that is displayed inside the control. Any image type (.gif, .jpg, ...) that your browser does understand is valid.

Use the following options to specify the URL:

(A) Define the URL relative to your page. Your page is generated directly into your project's folder. Specifiying "images/xyz.gif" will point into a directory parallel to your page. Specifying "../HTMLBasedGUI/images/new.gif" will point to an image of a neighbour project.

(B) Define a complete URL, like "http://www.softwareag.com/images/logo.gif".

Natural
njx:natname

If a Natural variable with a name not valid for Application Designer (for instance #FIELD1) shall be bound to the control, a different name (for instance HFIELD1) can be bound instead. If the original name (in this case #FIELD1) is then specified in this attribute, the original name is generated into the parameter data area of the Natural adapter and a mapping between the two names is generated into the PROCESS PAGE statement of the Natural adapter. This mapping must not break a once defined group structure. If for instance a grid control that is bound to a name of GRID1 contains fields that are bound to FIELD1 and FIELD2 respectively, the corresponding njx:natname values may be #GRID1.#FIELD1 and #GRID1.#FIELD2, but not #GRID1.#FIELD1 and #MYGRID1.#FIELD2.

Optional  
njx:natcomment

The value of this attribute is generated as comment line into the parameter data area of the Natural adapter, before the field name. The Map Converter, for instance, uses this attributes to indicate for a generated statusprop variable to which field the statusprop belongs.
