sizes of the tabs in designer

Classic Servoy

I have a tabpanel with 7 tabs on them. The panel is rather small so I put the tabs under each other instead of next to each other.

Also the standard tab with is to small to show the complete text so I enlarged the with of these tab in designer to have a clear picture of what I am working with/on.

After a restart developer the tabs are still under each other so no issue there. But the width of them is back to there standard settings.

In designer the size of a tab is not stored, since the tabpanel does tab size handling (not in our controll)

Marcel,

If you are trying to make the tab longer, you could lengthen the tab by adding HTML non-breaking spaces to either side of the tab’s text:

  • Select the tab you want widen.
  • Double click the “text” property box to open the Property Editor.
  • Select the HTML source (if the Use HTML box is checked).
  • Enter “& n b s p ;” for each space you want to add.

(with no spacing between the characters and no quotes)

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the tip Marc. But I was talking of the designer mode and not the view mode.
