How to use tab-pane-floating?

What does "The styleclass is "tab-pane-floating" if the TabPane is floating" or "STYLE_CLASS_FLOATING" mean?
Can "tab-header-area" and "tab-content-area" be used separately ? ( to put "tab-header-area" in a toolbox and "tab-content-area" elsewhere.)
How can a button be put into "tab-header-area" ? ( "New Tab" button, like browsers have, for example).

It seems that floating tabs mode and style are to be used when... floating (dragging?) tabpane. TabPane.STYLE_CLASS_FLOATING not only change some styles (see caspian.css) but also prevents ".tab-header-background" to be created.I don't think we are much closer to understanding the true purpose of the floating style for tabpane and would need somebody else to document it to elucidate it. I have sent a request to the JavaFX documentation team for a tutorial for TabPane, and hopefully they can provide example usage of the floating styles (and other TabPane features) there.
newTabButton must then be translated in appropriate position, as if Side is TOP, LEFT,etc. and for *.tab-header-area do some -fx-padding to make room for newTabButtonStackPane.setAlignment(node, pos) may help with the translation and standard -fx-padding css for the button control can accomplish the padding.
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/layout/StackPane.html#setAlignment%28javafx.scene.Node,%20javafx.geometry.Pos%29
Of course, not for floating tabs since it uses ".tab-header-background" StackPane to layout newTabButt.Yeah, one of the reasons why using the css selectors to lookup nodes in complex controls for manipulation, is a bit of a risky strategy.
Another solution : create a StackPane . Add TabPane on StackPane , and then add newTabButton (use LayoutX,LayoutY to put it in appropriate position ). In TabPane, make room for newTabButton by shifting .tab-header-area with some -fx-padding. Simpler but needs one extra StackPane .This solution seems more robust.
I saw willow-browser before, as a starting point. For every tab, there is an (unused) "tab-content-area --StackPane". Yes, I did it that way because I wanted the tabs placed in a general navigation bar with forward and back buttons, location field and other controls in it (similar to IE9) and the pane layout for tabs didn't seem flexible enough for me to do that as it placed the panes directly under the tabs. The unused stackpane there is actually a zero height but with a width which forces the tabPane control to just become a set of tabs without content sized only to the width allocated in the UI for the tabs themselves, and not the real browser window content, then I just react on the tabs like buttons to swap in and out different webviews in a stack for the main browser display. In some ways this accomplished the decoupling of the tabs in tab headers from tab content in a seperate pane.
I think that the real solution is to put the "new tab" button inside "tab-header-area". Perhaps, I found it easier just create a seperate new tab button and lay it out seperately from the tab header area. In addition to being easier, it also seemed more flexible, because then I could place the new tab button wherever I wanted in the UI rather than just directly next to the tabs in the tab-header-area.

How to refrash tabbed pane at a run time

hi,
I have no practice in using tabbed panes, and now I have to solve a little problem. I am running internal frame wich contains tabbedpane. The tab which opens by default contains combobox which reads its data from DB. But when I open internal frame no data exists in a combobox.
Since I change the tab and select back again the same tab data combobox reads its data. I tried to validate the tab but nothing changes.
Where is my fault?

The code that loads the data into the combo box is not being executed when you first create the internal frame. We can't tell you why since we have no idea what your code looks like.
So, trace the order of execution to see why the code is not executing.

How to use TAB key rolling on the rank of a JTabbedPane ?

I hope I can use TAB key to switch the different option item , how to do this ?
Liwei

You need to use a key listener. Something like:
        static class myKeyListener implements KeyListener
                //KeyListener reuired methods
                public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
                        int a = e.getKeyCode();
                        //Check if they pressed tab
                        if (a == e.VK_TAB)
                               //Do whatever
                public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)
                public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)
        }Then, put "myTabbedPane.add(myInstanceOfMyKeyListener" up where you're creating the pane, replacing "myTabbedPane" and "myInstanceOfMyKeyListener" with whatever variables you're using.

How to use tab to link to other page in other application

Hi all,
I noticed that tabs does not have the option URL for the Target. It only has current page.
Is it possible to link a tab to a page in another application in the same workspace?
Thanks.
Allen

Hi Allen,
Lists are more useful and flexible in that case, you can apply a tab template on them.
Out of the box, tabs don't allow you to navigate to url's like you want to do. What you can do, navigate to a page in your current app and have in the header a redirect to the other app.
Make sure you transfer your session (and authentication) to the other app, otherwise you need to login again.
Regards,
Dimitri

Could anyone please tell me how to set the focus to the tabbed pane title?

Need help with tabbed panes

I am creating an App that uses tabbed pane.
The first tab is for loggin in.
What I want to do is make all the other tabs invisible until the user has successfully logged in.
How do I make the other tabs invisible?

Hi,
One way is to add them after the user has logged in. Another way is to disable them so that the user can't use them.
Btw. I have to say that what you want to do sounds weird. Normally you use a modal login dialog instead.

Tabbed Panes in JSF

Hi,
I am using Tabbed panes in JAF (WSAD 5.1.2). I want to display the second tab and not the first tab when the page refreshes. How can I get about doing this?
Thanks.

This is not about the JSF RI. IBM has its own JSF implementation. Ask there.

How to use JFrame's setLayeredPane() method?

        setLayeredPane(new JLayeredPane());           //this line, I want to set the LayeredPane myself;
                                                      //but it doesn't work.

Thanks!
But the very thing I want to know is "How to set Layered Pane(by setLayeredPane() method)",
not "How to use Layered Pane".
