The user can select a tab by clicking on it, and the corresponding child widget will be displayed. The Fl_Tabs widget is useful for organizing a large number of controls or other widgets into a compact space, allowing the user to switch between different sets of controls as needed. \image html tabs.png \image latex tabs.png "Fl_Tabs" width=8cm Clicking the tab makes a child visible() by calling show() on it, and all other children are made invisible by calling hide() on them. Usually the children are Fl_Group widgets containing several widgets themselves. Each child makes a card, and its label() is printed on the card tab, including the label font and style. The selection color of that child is used to color the tab, while the color of the child determines the background color of the pane. '&' in labels are used to prefix a shortcut that is drawn underlined and that activates the corresponding tab; repeated '&&' avoids that. The size of the tabs is controlled by the bounding box of the children (there should be some space between the children and the edge of the Fl_Tabs), and the tabs may be placed "inverted" on the bottom - this is determined by which gap is larger. It is easiest to lay this out in FLUID, using the FLUID browser to select each child group and resize them until the tabs look the way you want them to. The background area behind and to the right of the tabs is "transparent", exposing the background detail of the parent. The value of Fl_Tabs::box() does not affect this area. So if Fl_Tabs is resized by itself without the parent, force the appropriate parent (visible behind the tabs) to redraw() to prevent artifacts. See "Resizing Caveats" below on how to keep tab heights constant. See "Callback's Use Of when()" on how to control the details of how clicks invoke the callback(). A typical use of the Fl_Tabs widget: \par \code // Typical use of Fl_Tabs Fl_Tabs *tabs = new Fl_Tabs(10,10,300,200); { Fl_Group *grp1 = new Fl_Group(20,30,280,170,"Tab1"); { ..widgets that go in tab#1.. } grp1->end(); Fl_Group *grp2 = new Fl_Group(20,30,280,170,"Tab2"); { ..widgets that go in tab#2.. } grp2->end(); } tabs->end(); \endcode \b Default \b Appearance The appearance of each "tab" is taken from the label() and color() of the child group corresponding to that "tab" and panel. Where the "tabs" appear depends on the position and size of the child groups that make up the panels within the Fl_Tab, i.e. whether there is more space above or below them. The height of the "tabs" depends on how much free space is available. \image html tabs_default.png "Fl_Tabs Default Appearance" \image latex tabs_default.png "Fl_Tabs Default Appearance" width=8cm \b Highlighting \b The \b Selected \b Tab The selected "tab" can be highlighted further by setting the selection_color() of the Fl_Tab itself, e.g. \par \code .. tabs = new Fl_Tabs(..); tabs->selection_color(FL_DARK3); .. \endcode The result of the above looks like: \image html tabs_selection.png "Highlighting the selected tab" \image latex tabs_selection.png "Highlighting the selected tab" width=8cm \b Uniform \b Tab \b and \b Panel \b Appearance In order to have uniform tab and panel appearance, not only must the color() and selection_color() for each child group be set, but also the selection_color() of the Fl_Tab itself any time a new "tab" is selected. This can be achieved within the Fl_Tab callback, e.g. \par \code void MyTabCallback(Fl_Widget *w, void*) { Fl_Tabs *tabs = (Fl_Tabs*)w; // When tab changed, make sure it has same color as its group tabs->selection_color( (tabs->value())->color() ); } .. int main(..) { // Define tabs widget tabs = new Fl_Tabs(..); tabs->callback(MyTabCallback); // Create three tabs each colored differently grp1 = new Fl_Group(.. "One"); grp1->color(9); grp1->selection_color(9); grp1->end(); grp2 = new Fl_Group(.. "Two"); grp2->color(10); grp2->selection_color(10); grp2->end(); grp3 = new Fl_Group(.. "Three"); grp3->color(14); grp3->selection_color(14); grp3->end(); .. // Make sure default tab has same color as its group tabs->selection_color( (tab->value())->color() ); .. return Fl::run(); } \endcode The result of the above looks like: \image html tabs_uniform.png "Fl_Tabs with uniform colors" \image latex tabs_uniform.png "Fl_Tabs with uniform colors" width=8cm \b Close \b Button \b on \b Tabs The Fl_Tabs widget allows you to specify that a child widget should display a close button in its tab. If the \ref FL_WHEN_CLOSED flag is set for the child widget, an "X" symbol will be displayed to the left of the label text in the tab. When the close button is clicked, the child widget's callback function will be called with the \ref FL_REASON_CLOSED argument. It is then the responsibility of the child widget to remove itself from the Fl_Tabs container. Tabs that are in a compressed state will not display a close button until they are fully expanded. \b Resizing \b Caveats When Fl_Tabs is resized vertically, the default behavior scales the tab's height as well as its children. To keep the tab height constant during resizing, set the tab widget's resizable() to one of the tab's child groups, i.e. \par \code tabs = new Fl_Tabs(..); grp1 = new Fl_Group(..); .. grp2 = new Fl_Group(..); .. tabs->end(); tabs->resizable(grp1); // keeps tab height constant \endcode \par Callback's Use Of when() As of FLTK 1.3.3, Fl_Tabs() supports the following flags for when(): - \ref FL_WHEN_NEVER -- callback never invoked (all flags off) - \ref FL_WHEN_CHANGED -- if flag set, invokes callback when a tab has been changed (on click or keyboard navigation) - \ref FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED -- if flag set, invokes callback when the tabs remain unchanged (on click or keyboard navigation) - \ref FL_WHEN_RELEASE -- if flag set, invokes callback on RELEASE of mouse button or keyboard navigation Notes: -# The above flags can be logically OR-ed (|) or added (+) to combine behaviors. -# The default value for when() is \ref FL_WHEN_RELEASE (inherited from Fl_Widget). -# If \ref FL_WHEN_RELEASE is the \em only flag specified, the behavior will be as if (\ref FL_WHEN_RELEASE|\ref FL_WHEN_CHANGED) was specified. -# The value of changed() will be valid during the callback. -# If both \ref FL_WHEN_CHANGED and \ref FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED are specified, the callback is invoked whether the tab has been changed or not. The changed() method can be used to determine the cause. -# \ref FL_WHEN_NOT_CHANGED can happen if someone clicks on an already selected tab, or if a keyboard navigation attempt results in no change to the tabs, such as using the arrow keys while at the left or right end of the tabs. -# \ref Fl::callback_reason() returns FL_REASON_SELECTED or FL_REASON_RESELECTED */ class FL_EXPORT Fl_Tabs : public Fl_Group { Fl_Widget *push_; protected: int overflow_type; int tab_offset; int *tab_pos; // array of x-offsets of tabs per child + 1 int *tab_width; // array of widths of tabs per child + 1 int *tab_flags; // array of tab flag of tabs per child + 1 int tab_count; // array size Fl_Align tab_align_; // tab label alignment int has_overflow_menu; Fl_Menu_Item* overflow_menu; void check_overflow_menu(); void handle_overflow_menu(); void draw_overflow_menu_button(); int on_insert(Fl_Widget*, int) FL_OVERRIDE; int on_move(int, int) FL_OVERRIDE; void on_remove(int) FL_OVERRIDE; void resize(int, int, int, int) FL_OVERRIDE; virtual void redraw_tabs(); virtual int tab_positions(); // allocate and calculate tab positions virtual void clear_tab_positions(); virtual void draw_tab(int x1, int x2, int W, int H, Fl_Widget* o, int flags, int sel); virtual int tab_height(); virtual int hit_close(Fl_Widget *o, int event_x, int event_y); void draw() FL_OVERRIDE; public: Fl_Tabs(int X, int Y, int W, int H, const char *L = 0); virtual ~Fl_Tabs(); int handle(int) FL_OVERRIDE; Fl_Widget *value(); int value(Fl_Widget *); /** Returns the tab group for the tab the user has currently down-clicked on and remains over until FL_RELEASE.
