Detailed Description

A widget that organizes contents in tab panes.

This widget combines a horizontal WMenu with a WStackedWidget, and a tab-like look.

A tab widget will place the tab bar on top of the contents, and fit the contents below it.

Usage example:

Wt::WTabWidget *examples = new Wt::WTabWidget(this);
examples->addTab(helloWorldExample(), "Hello World");
examples->addTab(chartExample(), "Charts");
examples->addTab(new Wt::WText("A WText"), "WText");
examples->currentChanged().connect(this, &MyClass::logInternalPath);
examples->setInternalBasePath("/examples");

CSS

The tab widget is styled by the current CSS theme.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ LoadPolicy

Enumeration to indicate when the contents should be loaded.

Enumerator
LazyLoading 

Lazy loading: on first use.

PreLoading 

Pre-loading: before first use.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addTab()

WMenuItem * Wt::WTabWidget::addTab ( WWidget child,
const WString label,
LoadPolicy  loadPolicy = LazyLoading 
)

Adds a new tab, with child as content, and the given label.

Returns the menu item that implements the tab item.

◆ closeTab()

void Wt::WTabWidget::closeTab ( int  index)

Closes a tab at index.

A tab that has been closed is marked as hidden, but not removed from the menu.

See also
removeTab(), setTabHidden()

◆ contentsStack()

WStackedWidget * Wt::WTabWidget::contentsStack ( ) const

Returns the contents stack.

The tab widget is implemented as a WMenu + WStackedWidget which displays the contents. This method returns a reference to this contents stack.

◆ currentChanged()

Signal<int>& Wt::WTabWidget::currentChanged ( )

Signal emitted when the user activates a tab.

The index of the newly activated tab is passed as an argument.

◆ indexOf()

int Wt::WTabWidget::indexOf ( WWidget widget) const

Returns the index of the tab of the given content widget.

If the widget is not in this tab widget, then -1 is returned.

◆ insertTab()

WMenuItem * Wt::WTabWidget::insertTab ( int  index,
WWidget child,
const WString label,
LoadPolicy  loadPolicy = LazyLoading 
)

Inserts a new tab, with child as content, and the given label.

Returns the menu item that implements the tab item.

◆ internalBasePath()

const std::string & Wt::WTabWidget::internalBasePath ( ) const

Returns the internal base path.

The default value is the application's internalPath (WApplication::internalPath()) that was recorded when setInternalPathEnabled() was called, and together with each WMenuItem::pathComponent() determines the paths for each item.

For example, if internalBasePath() is "/examples/" and pathComponent() for a particular item is "charts/", then the internal path for that item will be "/examples/charts/".

See also
setInternalPathEnabled()

◆ internalPathEnabled()

bool Wt::WTabWidget::internalPathEnabled ( ) const

Returns whether internal paths are enabled.

See also
setInternalPathEnabled()

◆ isTabCloseable()

bool Wt::WTabWidget::isTabCloseable ( int  index)

Returns whether a tab is closeable.

See also
setTabCloseable()

◆ isTabEnabled()

bool Wt::WTabWidget::isTabEnabled ( int  index) const

Returns whether a tab is enabled.

See also
WMenu::enableItem(), WMenu::disableItem()

◆ removeTab()

void Wt::WTabWidget::removeTab ( WWidget widget)

Removes a tab item.

The widget itself is not deleted.

See also
WMenu::removeItem()

◆ setInternalBasePath()

void Wt::WTabWidget::setInternalBasePath ( const std::string &  path)

Sets the internal base path.

A '/' is appended to turn it into a folder, if needed.

See also
setInternalPathEnabled(), internalBasePath()

◆ setInternalPathEnabled()

void Wt::WTabWidget::setInternalPathEnabled ( const std::string &  basePath = "")

Enables internal paths for items.

The menu participates in the internal path by changing the internal path when an item has been selected, and listening for path changes to react to path selections. As a consequence this allows the user to bookmark the current menu selection and revisit it later, use back/forward buttons to navigate through history of visited menu items, and allows indexing of pages.

For each menu item, WMenuItem::pathComponent() is appended to the basePath, which defaults to the internal path (WApplication::internalPath()). A '/' is appended to the base path, to turn it into a folder, if needed.

By default, menu interaction does not change the application internal path.

See also
WMenuItem::setPathComponent().

◆ setOverflow()

void Wt::WTabWidget::setOverflow ( WContainerWidget::Overflow  overflow,
WFlags< Orientation orientation = (Horizontal | Vertical) 
)

Sets how overflow of contained children must be handled.

This is an alternative (CSS-ish) way to configure scroll bars on a container widget, compared to wrapping inside a WScrollArea.

Unlike WScrollArea, horizontal scrolling does not work reliably when the container widget is inserted in a layout manager: the layout manager will overflow rather than use scrollbars for this this widget. A solution then is to use WScrollArea instead.

See also
WScrollArea

◆ setTabCloseable()

void Wt::WTabWidget::setTabCloseable ( int  index,
bool  closeable 
)

Make it possible to close a tab interactively or by closeTab.

A tab that has been closed is marked as hidden, but not removed from the menu.

See also
removeTab()

◆ setTabEnabled()

void Wt::WTabWidget::setTabEnabled ( int  index,
bool  enable 
)

Enables or disables a tab.

Enables or disables the tab at index. A disabled tab cannot be activated.

◆ setTabHidden()

void Wt::WTabWidget::setTabHidden ( int  index,
bool  hidden 
)

Hides or shows a tab.

Hides or shows the tab at index.

◆ setTabToolTip()

void Wt::WTabWidget::setTabToolTip ( int  index,
const WString tip 
)

Sets the tooltip for a tab.

The tooltip is shown when the user hovers over the label.

◆ tabClosed()

Signal<int>& Wt::WTabWidget::tabClosed ( )

Signal emitted when the user closes a tab.

The index of the closed tab is passed as an argument.

See also
closeTab(), setTabCloseable()

◆ tabText()

const WString & Wt::WTabWidget::tabText ( int  index) const

Returns the label for a tab.

See also
setTabText()

◆ tabToolTip()

WString Wt::WTabWidget::tabToolTip ( int  index) const

Returns the tooltip for a tab.
