XdevAccordion

The XdevAccordion is a container that displays the individual tabs and controls the interaction between the tabs. To create the first tab, add a layout or UI component to the header area of the XdevAccordion. The element is then automatically stretched over the entire size of the XdevAccordion. To create additional tabs, add a layout or UI component directly above or below an already existing tab. 

• Layout - Any number of UI components can be displayed in the tab.
• UI component - Only one UI component can be displayed in the tab, which will automatically stretch over the entire size of the XdevAccordion.

1. Add an XdevAccordion in the GUI Builder.
2. Add an XdevGridLayout in the header area of the XdevAccordion.
3. Add some XdevButtons into the XdevGridLayout.
4. Add an XdevRichTextArea right under the first tab. Move this cursor to the first tab while holding down the mouse button and release the mouse button only when a dashed frame appears.
5. Add an XdevInlineDateField right under the second tab. Move this cursor to the second tab while holding down the mouse button and release the mouse button only when a dashed frame appears.

Result:

In the GUI Builder

Important events:

• selectedTabChange - Is triggered when the selection changes.

Important properties:

• TabIndex - Defines the sequence in the tab index. The tab index defines the order of several UI components. These can be selected one by one by pressing the Tab key.

Examples:

• Add tab dynamically

  	// Create and add a new tab 
  	XdevGridLayout myGridLayout = new XdevGridLayout();
  	accordion.addTab(myGridLayout);
  	
  	// Create and add a new tab on position "0"
  	XdevGridLayout myGridLayout2 = new XdevGridLayout();
  	accordion.addTab(myGridLayout2, 0);
  	
  	// Create and add a new tab with caption "MyTab3"
  	XdevGridLayout myGridLayout3 = new XdevGridLayout();
  	accordion.addTab(myGridLayout3, "MyTab3");
  	
  	// Create and add a new tab with caption "MyTab4" and Icon "FontAwesome.BOOKMARK"
  	XdevGridLayout myGridLayout4 = new XdevGridLayout();
  	accordion.addTab(myGridLayout4, "MyTab4", FontAwesome.BOOKMARK);
  	
  	// Create and add a new tab on position "0" with caption "MyTab5" and Icon "FontAwesome.BOOKMARK"
  	XdevGridLayout myGridLayout5 = new XdevGridLayout();
  	accordion.addTab(myGridLayout5, "MyTab5", FontAwesome.BOOKMARK, 0);	
  	
  	// Create and add a new tab on position "0" only with Icon "FontAwesome.BOOKMARK"
  	XdevGridLayout myGridLayout6 = new XdevGridLayout();
  	accordion.addTab(myGridLayout6, null, FontAwesome.BOOKMARK, 0);

• Get tab

  // Get tab by number
  Tab tab = accordion.getTab(0);
  	
  // Get tab by content component 
  Tab tab = accordion.getTab(myGridLayout);

• Remove tab

  // Remove component
  accordion.removeComponent(myGridLayout);
  
  // Remove tab
  Tab tab = accordion.getTab(0);
  accordion.removeTab(tab);

• Select tab

  // Select the first tab
  accordion.setSelectedTab(0);
  		
  // Select tab that contains component "myGridLayout"
  accordion.setSelectedTab(myGridLayout);
  		
  // Get tab that contains component "myGridLayout" and select it
  Tab t = accordion.getTab(myGridLayout);
  accordion.setSelectedTab(t);

• Disable tab

  // Disable first tab (on position "0")
  Tab tab = accordion.getTab(0);
  tab.setEnabled(false);		
  		
  // Disable tab that contains component "myGridLayout"
  accordion.getTab(myGridLayout).setEnabled(false);

• Hide tab

  // Hide first tab (on position "0")
  Tab tab = accordion.getTab(0)
  tab.setVisible(false);
