hiding specific tab panels based on value

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all!

need your help again. I have a layout with about 8 tabs in the tab panel.

When a field is of a certain value, i want only 7 tab panels displayed (one of the tab panel is hidden), if it’s another value, i want all 8 tabs to be visible. is there a way to control that in servoy?

thanks,
sammy

Hi,

Yes, with the “removeTabAt(number index)” method of the TabPanel. The
limitation is that you can remove relation based tabs but you can only add relationless tabs with addTab(…).

In case you need to use the removed tab latter, don’t remove it, disable it:

switch( globals.gTABreference ){
case 1:
  elements.tabs_70.setTabEnabled(1, false);
  elements.tabs_70.setTabEnabled(2, true);
  elements.tabs_70.tabIndex = 2;
  break;
case 2:
  elements.tabs_70.setTabEnabled(2, false);
  elements.tabs_70.setTabEnabled(1, true);
  elements.tabs_70.tabIndex = 1;
  break;
default:
  elements.tabs_70.setTabEnabled(2, true);
  elements.tabs_70.setTabEnabled(1, true);
}

Thanks for the pointer. Now that I’ve removed the tab, I need to be able to set the view of the tab back. Is there a command does the opposite of removing the tabs?

That says it all.
