TabNavigator style

My application:
<mx:Style>
.a1{
backgroundImage: Embed("image.png");
</mx:Style>
<mx:TabNavigator tabStyleName="a1">
<mx:VBox label="Accounts" width="300" height="150"
>

</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox label="Stocks" width="300" height="150">

</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox label="Futures" width="300" height="150">

</mx:VBox>
</mx:TabNavigator>
I want to put in my TabNavigator's tabs background image.
Setting -backgroundImage: Embed("image.png");- in tab's style
doesn't help. What should I change in my code?

I am having the same problem trying to set a background image
on my tab style.
I also noticed, tabStyleName="tabStyle" and
selectedTabTextStyleName="selectedTab" both work, however
firstTabStyleName="firstTab" and lastTabStyleName="firstTab" don't
seem to have any kind of effect on the tabs.
I tried using background-image: Embed(image.png); and
backgroundImage: Embed(image.png) as well as url()s but nothing
worked. Has anyone had success applying a background image to Tab
Navigator tabs or is this style attribute not working?

How can you change the style of a flash tabnavigator with css

I'd like to change the colors of a tabnavigator in flash
form.
I found an example how to change the layout for a panel but
it doesn't inherate it to my tabnavigator.
Here a simple example for a panel that works:
quote:
<cfsavecontent variable="contentPanelStyle">
panelBorderStyle:'roundCorners';
backgroundColor:#EFF7DF;
headerColors:#CBEC84, #B0D660;
</cfsavecontent>
<cfform name="myform" width="420" format="Flash"
timeout="100" >

<cfformgroup type="panel" label="With styles"
style="#contentPanelStyle#" width="400">
<cfinput type="text" name="someinput" label="your name"
/>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
Actually, I just want to colorize my tabnavigator items
(don't want even a panel around it). How can I do this, as example
with the same colors like the panel?

Found 1 solution for the active Tab
quote:
<cfform name="myform" width="420" format="Flash"
timeout="100" >
<cfformgroup type="tabnavigator"
style="themeColor:##CC0000;">
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Tab 1">
<cfinput type="text" name="someinpu1t" label="your name"
/>
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Tab 2">
<cfinput type="text" name="someinput2" label="your name"
/>
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
But still, how do I controll the colors of the inactive Tab
and the highlight Tab (rollover mouse)?

TabNavigator Styling in Nightly Build

I've tried all combinations of styling that I can think of. The tabNavigator styles as I would like in Flex 3. Since the control is still in the mx namespace in Flash Builder, I would have expected the styles created in 3 to carry over (as long as I namespaced the control in the CSS file). However, no matter what I do, I'm unable to skin the button part of the tab navigator. I'm using a recent nighly build where the namespace has changed to mx rather than halo. Has anyone run into this?

Are you using the Halo theme?

Reducing the amount of space

I'm attempting to use some code like this to make a tabbed
page.
<cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" style="indicatorGap:0;
verticalGap:3;">
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Contact Summary">
<cfformgroup type="vbox" id="editForm">
There is to much space between the tab (contact summary) and
the first form element inside that tab. I've tried going over all
the formatting style options at the following URL:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm ?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00000677.htm
I just can't get that darn space out of there. I know it is
tough to see what I'm talking about without an image, but no
uploads to this forum that I can see.
Anyone got a tip?

Thanks for your reply. I was going to take a screen shot and
link to it or something. Before I did that, I thought I would check
out the site you have listed beta.killtheheart.com... Well, guess
what! You have the same 'problem' that I am trying to fix.
Looking at your form, you have a number of tabs. The default
shows as the music tab for me. From the bottom of the music tab to
the start of the search box you have a lot of space. This is
exactly what I have, and I can't figure out what style will reduce
the amount of space that is shown there. It is waisting an entire
line, and I'm trying to squeeeze as much as possible on the form.

Try adding a tab and then removing it using the buttons provided. Then again add a tab by clicking the button. Notice that the tab bar does not show the style of the one and only tab as selected. Is this a known issue?..
Thanks
Dharmesh

Sorry, just answered my own question. The previous editor had applied a separate character style on top of the paragraph style.
Don't know why, it doesn't serve any purpose except to confuse...
Fell for it!

TabNavigator and dynamic tab-styles

I'm trying to change the tab-style skin style based on the content that the parent canvas is being provided.
For example, if the parent canvas (which is being reused everywhere) has a particular property, i'd like my tabNavigator's tabbar to use another skin for the buttons. I've created a getter in my tabNavigator to access the tab bar. To which i set the skin style to the class i'd want. Doesn't work. Is there a simple style that i can set to do this?
I've tried creating a css for every possibility and assign it to tabNavigator with a bindable variable. But it still displays the default value. If i put it in the mxml declaration stylename="customskin" it works. but if i put stylename="{_bindableStyle}", it doesn't work.
In both cases, none of the tabNavigator's children are created until this value is set, so i'm not trying to set a style after the content was created.
I've also tried creating the tabNavigator on creation instead of having it in the mxml declaration, doesn't work either.
Any thing else i can try that i haven't yet?

Hi Frank, thanks for response.
Do you think that somehow in my case there is only one instance of the TF_A ?
Here is relevant settings for my popup containing static region with TF_A

            <af:panelWindow ...>
              <af:region value="#{bindings.TF_A.regionModel}" id="r6"
            </af:panelWindow>
          </af:popup>myBean.crudPopupFetchListener :

Set a style on an inactive tab of TabNavigator

Hi,
For a chat application, I have a TabNavigator with one person
by tab.
When a person speak, I want to change the color of this
specified tab.
Currently, I can change the properties "backgroundColor" on
the tab, but this don't works until we set the focus on this tab.
quote:
// tabs is my TabNavigator
var childIndex:int = tabs.getChildIndex(
tabs.getChildByName("theSpecificUserTab"));
var tabButton:Button = tabs.getTabAt( childIndex );
tabButton.setStyle("backgroundColor", "#FF6600");
I suppose my way only changing the styles of the button when
this button is active.
But the goal is to change the style even if the tab isn't
active...
Is it possible ?
Thanks a lots

Is it impossible or my question is not understand ?
Thanks

Tabnavigator validates when switching pages??

I would like to build a cfform with a tabnavigator and two pages. Each page contains fields with some validation rules. I find that when the user switches pages, any integer, range, or other numeric validation rules are fired immediately. Simple isrequired style rules are not.
It is most annoying, since it looks to the user like there are errors before he has even had a chance to enter data.
<cfform name="myform" height="400" width="400" format="Flash" timeout="600">
<cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" id="tabBar">
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Page 1">
   <cfinput type="text" name="Name" label="Name"
    required="Yes" message="Please enter a name.">
</cfformgroup>
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Page 2">
   <cfinput type="text" name="age" label="Age" value="0"
    validate="range" range="1,1000000" message="This value must be greater than 0.">
</cfformgroup>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>

Chris,
The DB is Oracle 10g, OS is Windows 2003 Server, The Web Server is in the same machine. The server is Dell 1420 SC Xeon @ 2.8GHx, 512MB RAM. It has not much traffic since we are on the development phase, so i don't think it is a capacity problem.
The problem happens when connecting from the internet as well as from the intranet.
I have not seen the Apache access logs, I will see them and update the thread.
Thanks.

Different styles for ArrowButtons with synth

How can I define different component styles? For example I have ArrowButtons in ScrollBars, TabbedPanes, DropDowns etc. And now I want to define different the ArrowButtons within ScrollBars, the ArrowButtons within a DropDown etc. How can I manage that with synth. At the moment I have the following synth code which is uses for the ArrowButtons in a TabbedPane:
<style id="arrowButtonStyle">
     <property key="ArrowButton.size" type="Integer" value="24"/>
     <state>
     <imagePainter method="arrowButtonBackground" path="/de/imbus/swing/plaf/images/tab_std.png"
          sourceInsets="0 0 0 0"/>
     <imagePainter direction="WEST" center="true" method="arrowButtonForeground" path="/de/imbus/swing/plaf/images/tab_scrlbtn_arrow_left.png"
          />
     <imagePainter direction="EAST" center="true" method="arrowButtonForeground" path="/de/imbus/swing/plaf/images/tab_scrlbtn_arrow_right.png"
          />
     
     </state>
     <state value="ENABLED">
     <imagePainter method="arrowButtonBackground" path="/de/imbus/swing/plaf/images/tab_std.png"

Know of any reason the style
selected-fill-colors: red, black;
doesn't have any effect on the tabs in a tabnavigator or
tabbar.
Have tried setting the style by using a custom class and by
just applying a style to all Tabs. The fill-colors works but the
selected-fill-colors does nothing.
http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mc/archives/FlexStyleExplorer.html
has an example that works and shows the css being used. Is there
another switch I need to flip to have the selected-fill-colors to
work?
<mx:Style>
.viewTabs {
fill-colors: red, black; /* this works */
selected-fill-colors: #3300cc, #ffffff; /* this doesn't */
</mx:Style>
<mx:TabNavigator x="63" y="167" width="200" height="200"
tabStyleName="viewTabs">
<mx:Canvas label="Tab 1" width="338" height="100%">
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas label="Tab 2" width="100%" height="100%">
</mx:Canvas>
<mx:Canvas label="Tab 3" width="100%" height="100%">
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:TabNavigator>

Avoid showing of a canvas in TabNavigator while playing effect?

Hello,
I´m using the great distorsion effect of Alex Uhlmann (part of Tour de Flex) in a TabNavigator with Canvas containers. The effect works fine but while fireing the IndexChangedEvent by pressing a tabsheet for a blink of an eye the target-canvas gets visible before the effect should make it visible which is very annoying.
As you can see in the Code-Snippet
The function playrotate() which is called in the EventHandler only set the right parameters for the CubeRotator method, which create an effectinstance and playing the effect.
public
function ChangeListener(e:IndexChangedEvent):void{oldI = e.oldIndex;
newI = e.newIndex;
playrotate();
private function CubeRotator(DC:String, oldI:int, newI:int):void{
var cr:CubeRotate = newCubeRotate( navtab.getChildAt(oldI) );cr.siblings = [ navtab.getChildAt(newI) ];
if( DC == DistortionConstants.LEFT ){cr.direction = DistortionConstants.LEFT;
else{cr.direction = DistortionConstants.RIGHT;
cr.horizontalLightingLocation = DistortionConstants.LEFT;
cr.duration = 1000;
cr.distortion = 40;
cr.play();
If somebody has an idea how to avoid this behaviour it would be great.
Thanks to everybody answering

Well for what it's worth...
I agree that it's a bad idea using a canvas like that.
Check this out:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/29777.wpf-property-list-editing.aspx
Baically, it puts your label and edit controls into a collection of contentontrols presented by a listbox of itemscontrol.
<ListBox HorizontalContentAlignment="Stretch" Background="AliceBlue">
<ListBox.Resources>
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Stretch"/>
</Style>
</ListBox.Resources>
<local:EditRow LabelFor="Label for property One:" >
<TextBox Text="aaaa"/>
</local:EditRow>
<local:EditRow LabelFor="Label for Property Two:">
<TextBox Text="bbbb"/>
</local:EditRow>
<local:EditRow LabelFor="Label for Property Three:">
<DatePicker/>
</local:EditRow>
<local:EditRow LabelFor="Label for Property Four:">
<TextBox Text="dddddd"/>
</local:EditRow>
<local:EditRow LabelFor="Label for Property Five:">
<TextBox Text="eeee"/>
</local:EditRow>
<local:EditRow LabelFor="Label for Property Six:">
<TextBox Text="fffffff"/>
</local:EditRow>
<local:EditRow LabelFor="Label for Property Seven:">
<TextBox Text="ggggg"/>
</local:EditRow>
<local:EditRow LabelFor="Label for Property Eight:">
<TextBox Text="hhhhhhhhhhh"/>
</local:EditRow>
</ListBox>
Listbox has a scrollbar for zero effort and there's no messing about working out all the positioning of each control.
Because editrow is a contentcontrol you can put any old control in it - textbox, passwordbox.... whatever you like.
Hope that helps.

Tab navigator style

Hi experts,
i want to user background images in tab navigator ..assume that i have two tabs tab1 ans tab 2 now what i want is the following
   1.       that both the tabs to have a background image // i was unable to find a property for the same
   2.      i have taken two vbox in the tab navigator after giving the border two the v box i saw a space between the tabs and the vbox..please find the attach image it will clear the my query more..
following is the code:-
   <mx:TabNavigator borderThickness="4" borderColor="#6997AF"
                                 borderStyle="solid" verticalGap="0" tabHeight="38"
                                  tabStyleName="Selected" cornerRadius="6" tabOffset="40" tabWidth="115"
                                   horizontalGap="17" id="TbNgtr" width="328" height="461" color="0x323232">
                                       <mx:VBox verticalGap="0" borderColor="red" borderStyle="solid" label="Load Photo">
                                        <mx:Label text="TabNavigator container panel 1"/>
                                       </mx:VBox>

                                    </mx:VBox>
                            </mx:TabNavigator>

Hi,
1. To set background image :- backgroundImage style is available for TabNavigator.
2. To remove the gap : Set horizontalGap style of the TabNavigator to 0.
3. To style selected tab: Use the selectedTabTextStyleName style property. Check the following link for an example
http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/09/26/styling-the-flex-tabnavigator-control/

Tabnavigator in flex

Hello,
Has anyone experience this type of issue when your tabs
display a green highlighted color and the font style and size are
all changed to a larger size then you set.

Hello,
We found a solutions to the Tabnavigator error, it appear
that the namespace in the xml document which is created
automatically in AIR apps, throws an connection error. The fix
consisted of changing the following:
Fromn this:
<application xmlns="
http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.1">
Change it to:
<application xmlns="
http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5">
We found that to work best.
Thanks, DM

Tabnavigator individual page tab width control

Hi,
I'm currently developing a Flash form with a tabnavigator
cfformgroup. I
have 4 pages within the tabnavigator and I was wondering if
it is
possible to control the width of individual page tabs/labels.
I've tried
adding styles to specific pages with no success so far. I
tried both
labelWidth:50; for example and tabWidth:50;. I also tried
with
specifying pixels as the unit but nothing works.
The basic outline of the code I have is like this:
(cfformgroup type="tabnavigator)
(cfformgroup type="page" label="Page 1")
(/cfformgroup)
(cfformgroup type="page" label="Page 2")
(/cfformgroup)
(cfformgroup type="page" label="Page 3")
(/cfformgroup)
(cfformgroup type="page" label="Page 4")
(/cfformgroup)
(/cfformgroup)
The real labels have very different lengths hence the desire
to control
their individual widths. Is it even possible and if it is,
how?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

You will need to do this in action script after the form has
loaded.
See example
<cfform action="" method="POST" name="myform"
format="Flash" onload="formLoad();">

TabNavigator question

I have a tabnavigator that I'm unable to set the background color for the tabs within my style (backgroundColor: black;). I can set the font size and color, just can't set the background color. Does the tabnavigator somehow use its parent colors for the background color?

BackgroundColor isn't an inheriting style. Did you set it in the
firstTabStyleName, tabStyleName, lastTabStyleName declarations?
