Tabset Frames

The TABSET frame type defines a container for a set of tabbed page frames.

The container has no visible border and no tagtext, that is it has no displayed title.

Any normal frame defined directly within a TABSET frame will become a tabbed page frame, with its tag text displayed in the tab; selecting a tab will bring the tabbed page frame to the front, and hide the previously shown tabbed page frame. A page SHOWN event is raised for the tabbed page frame whenever the user interactively selects a new page tab.

Handling this event allows the AppWare to modify the content of gadgets on the selected page before it is displayed to the user.

Only one page can be selected at one time, and one page is always selected. To change the selected page programmatically, you have to set the new page as selected - setting the current page as unselected has no effect. To remove a tabbed-page from the set, you should set the visible property of that tab to false.

An icon can be set on a given tab within a tabset. For further information, refer to Icons on Tabs.
