Form inside Tabbed Pane
Hi, I have a JSF Tabbed Pane with 5 tabs and one of the tab's content contains a datascroller with an input text field 'Go To' where the user can enter the page number to jump to. When I hit enter after typing in a page number, it seems like it just refreshes the page (I think it processes as a Tabbed Pane 'tabchangeevent' but in fact it's not). However, after typing in a page number, and manually clicking the 'Go' button, it submits correctly (to the datascroller) and displays the correct content. Any ideas what could be the problem?
I would try using static, compile time includes rather than runtime includes.

Tabbed panes inside panels!!! (not dialogs)
hello,
i want to have tabbed panes inside panels. is this possible? if yes, how?It seems the best solution to this issue is to ditch the Spry Tabbed Panel and use a javascript tabbed panel. User971824 in Stack Overflow explained the problem as follows:
"I had this issue and it's because your gallery is hidden on page load so the plugin cannot read the container width and height in order for it to render properly. Instead of initializing the plugin on page load initialize it when the user clicks on the tab. If you have any animation on the tab windows makes sure you initialise flexslider after the animation is complete."
"You are using spryTabbedPanels for your tabbed pages. I looked at the API and they dont seem to have an animation complete function so until you sort out that end you wont be able to fix it. You need a way to detect once the panel has shown so that you can initialize the carousel." -
How can i place button on top right hand corner of the tabbed pane
Hi all,
i want to place button on top right hand corner of the tabbed pane, just run the code below, i have add button(it going to insert tab into tabbedpane), i want to place that tab into top right hand corner of the tabbedpane (not inside the tab itself). if i set tab policy setTabLayoutPolicy(JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT), it will give two button at right hand corner along with those buttons i want to and one more add button.

Dayananda B VThis part of tabbed pane is not customizable as it lies in the ComponentUI(TabbedpaneUI) portion of the tabbedpane.
But I can point out the place u can change to bring the desired feature into effect.
U can find an Inner class called ScrollableTabSupport
Look for the methods createButtons where u can create extra buttons and add to the tabbed pane.
The Inner class also implements actionListener where u can implement the action for the button u added.
By this method U have to use your own extended TabbedPaneUI which u cant escape from.
Hope this will help u. -
Disposable tabbed pane redrawing
Hi, i'm using disposable tabbed panes (with close button) in my program and i'm using following method to update their titles according to what user entered:
//this is class extending JPanel
public void updatePanelTitle(String newTitle) {
MainPanel panel = (MainPanel) getParent(); //MainPanel extends JTabbedPane
panel.setTitleAt(panel.getComponentZOrder(this)-1, newTitle);
repaint();
}Point is the title gets changed but the size of panel label does not. However, when i mouse-over the close button there, it gets changed to the size of the text.
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
Component component = e.getComponent();
if (component instanceof AbstractButton) {
AbstractButton button = (AbstractButton) component;
button.setBorderPainted(true);
}setBorderPainted calls inside the repaint method.
Can anyone give a clue why it is not working or how to fix it?

}When you add instance of this to your JTabbedPane, you will get closeable Tabbed Pane with title you specified in addTab(title, component);
I implement method updatePanelTitle(String newTitle); to change the title of this tab when suer submits the data. These action controllers that call submitting and updating title are in controller package. Problem is that the title itself is changed when data are submitted but the <b>size of the tab is not adjusted to newTitles length.</b> It is just adjusted when i pull my mouse over the close button that implements action from previous post.

}I cant possibly post a running code as it uses third party libraries and implements bunch of interfaces, it would require whole nearly whole view-controller part of the project.
Another problem is that method getComponentZOrder(this) - 1, works for retrieving all tabs except the first one (it returns fine indexes for any tab but -1 for the first one) but sadly there is no such method like getIndex(Component) which would be useful for getting <b>this</b> components index.

Alignment of the components inside tab in JTabbedPane

Multiple forms inside a tabset
I have a tabset inside a main form. Is it possible to have another forn inside individual tabs?
When I put another form inside a tab, tabset gets stuck on single tab and you unable to click through the tabs.
Thanks in advance for your help.Hi,
I tried adding a form component to the tab set. The form component appears as a new form node for the page. The IDE creates a form for you when it creates a new page, so you are not required to add this component to a page created by the IDE. If you need a form within a form, you must create a virtual form instead. You can right-click a component and choose Configure Virtual Forms to create a new virtual form or to add the component to an existing virtual form.
If you do add a form component to a page, you see the form appear as a selected box and a new form node for your page appears in the Outline window. You can select the form in the Outline window, and then you can drag components onto the form.
Perhaps the following on virtual forms might help :

In my JSF project, I have a jsp page, where i am using a IBM tabbed pane component. I am using the same form for both creating new data and updating existing data.
When I click on the tabbed pane, it is on the client side.So, there is no request involved. In such a case, if I have to pass some values from one tab to another, how do i do this?
Also, when I retrieve data from the database, i need to prepopulate the drop downs in the second tab with values from the database and values from the first tab. Is this possible? How do I do this?Your question is not related with odc:tabbedPanel. For passing params in between tabs you should use a faces-managed bean. And for populating drop downs, how is the drop down in first tab getting populated? Let me assume, from a faces-managed bean or a from service-layer method that retrieves data from db. So either way you have no relation with bfPanels in these processes.

Hi,
I am writing my tabbed pane as
<mx:TabNavigator>
<mx:VBox>...................</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox>...................</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox>...................</mx:VBox>
</mx:TabNavigator>
I want to put wipe effect ot my tabbed pane when we change
the tabbes. I dont find any examples for that, so i have one plan.
I want to disply one swf file on the vboxes when we change the tab
from onto anoterh can we show one .swf file on the vbox, that swf
will have continious wiping effects. I dont know this posibility
level!. If so, can we specify any divs on the form? is it correct
idea?
Thanks
Satish KC.If you are running Flex 2.0, then you can put showEffect and
hideEffect
effect triggers on each VBox. (I don't remember if this works
in beta3)
<mx:VBox showEffect="WipeLeft" hideEffect="WipeRight">
If using Flex 1.5, then set the creationPolicy of the
TabNavigator to "all"
and try playing around with the changeEffect on the TabNav.

Changin tabbed pane using a JButton
Hi all,
I'm trying to include a button on a tabbed page that will enable you to switch to

I'm using the following code:

tabbedpane.setSelectedComponent( container );
However, I get the following error: "Cannot refer to a non-final variable tabbed pane inside

Help!

Overlapping tabbed pane objects upon startup
I have a swing app built with Sun ONE Studio 4, I have several jTabbedPane's in the main form and upon start up, components from other tabbed panes are visible until I go through and click each tabbed pane. Any help is appreciated.
Don't use Sun One Studio. ;) Can't stand the lack of control/knowledge of what is going on with GUI builders! Much prefer using TableLayout and coding it myself! TableLayout is so easy to use, very fast.

Hiding tabbed panes-should be enabled only on certain event
Hi,
I desperately need help. I'm still new to swings and thus need help.I'm writing an swing application where i have tabbed panes just like a tree i.e
main1,main2
under main1 have have another set of tabbed panes. Now i have to enable only the first pane and inside that pane there is a button which should enable the other pane and so forth. I just cannot figure how i should go about doing it. Any help is appreciated.

here is the sample of the code. This is on the similar lines like i have written the code
