Tabbed is a Gadget Class used to create a tabbed bar.  It is available for both Release V46 and Release V54.
 +
 +
 +
It has some features such as:
 +
 +
* sliding/dragging of tabs by holding down left mouse button over the selected tab and move mouse
 +
* dynamic opening and closing of tabs with an application
 +
* custom tab close gadget
 +
* custom tab fonts and colours
 +
* optional bar which runs underneath tabs
 +
* help pop-up hint tips when hovering mouse pointer over tab
 +
* The active/inactive tab background can be filled with a custom image or gradient

REQUIRES
DESCRIPTION
The tabbed gadget class is used to create a clickable bar with a variable number of tabs (like index cards).

Supported methods

Method ID Description
OM_NEW Passed to superclass, defaults set, then OM_SET.
OM_SET Passed to superclass, custom tags set. Calls GM_RENDER if gps_GInfo is supplied.
OM_GET Custom tag returned or passed to superclass.
OM_UPDATE Same as OM_SET
OM_NOTIFY Tag set then passed to superclass.
OM_DISPOSE Free all TabbedNodes and all temporary gfx memory, then passed to superclass.
GM_RENDER Render tab bar.
GM_HITTEST Checks which tab was hit and returns GMR_GADGETHIT if one was hit.
GM_GOACTIVE Re-renders the tab bar with the new active tab highlighted.
GM_HANDLEINPUT Processes input. If the clicked tab was inactive, it acts like a button and becomes active if the mouse button was released over it. If the clicked tab was the active one, it can be dragged left or right.
GM_GOINACTIVE Re-renders the tab bar with the new active tab highlighted.
GM_DOMAIN Returns the required dimensions matching the value in gpd_Which.
GM_LAYOUT calculates the size and position of each tab relative to the total space given.
TGM_ADDTAB Inserts a new tab with the given labal and flags at the given position. Returns a pointer to the TabbedNode of the new tab or NULL in case of failure. Calls GM_RENDER if tgp_GInfo is supplied.
TGM_REMTAB Removes the tab at the given position and frees the TabbedNode.Calls GM_RENDER if tgp_GInfo is supplied.
TGM_MOVETAB Moves the tab at the given position to the new position. Calls GM_RENDER if tgp_GInfo is supplied.
TGM_ADDNODE Inserts a new tab before the given successor TabbedNode. If tgp_Succ is NULL the new tab is added to the end of the list. Returns a pointer to the TabbedNode of the new tab or NULL in case of failure. Calls GM_RENDER if tgp_GInfo is supplied.
TGM_REMNODE Removes the given TabbedNode and frees its memory.Calls GM_RENDER if tgp_GInfo is supplied.
TGM_MOVENODE Removes the given TabbedNode and inserts it back before the new successor. Calls GM_RENDER if tgp_GInfo is supplied.

TABBED_ActiveID (ULONG)
When a new tab becomes active, the ICA_TARGET is notifed with
this tag. Contains the tbn_ID of the active TabbedNode or -1
if no tab is active. Defaults to -1.
Applicability is (OM_NOTIFY)
TABBED_Skew (ULONG)
Sets or returns the level of skewing. For rounded corners it
defines the radius of the rounding. Defaults to 8.
Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET, OM_UPDATE)

because the hook does not have a width or if the labels are
very short. Defaults to 0.
Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET, OM_UPDATE)
TABBED_MaxWidthPercent (ULONG)
Limit the width of each tab to the given percentage of the gadget
width. Valid values are between 10 and 100. Defaults to 50.
Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET, OM_GET, OM_UPDATE)
TABBED_EvenSize (BOOL)
Tells the tab bar to use the same size for each tab. The minimum
size for all tabs is that of the tab with the longest label.
When set to FALSE, each tab can have a different size depending on
its label and whether it has a close button. Results might vary.

SHINEPEN -> the bright edges of the outer border and
the inner of the cross if not selected
SHADOWPEN -> the dark edges of the outer border and
the outer of the cross
BACKGROUNDPEN -> the inner of the cross when selected
BACKGROUNDPEN is the highest index which means the array must
contain at least 8 entries.

tabbed_gc/--background--
BACKGROUND
Initially tabbed class only supported setting the list of tabs through
the TABBED_Labels attribute. This has kind of static character. Although
you could set it to a new value at any time, it would always replace the
whole list of tabs. And tabs could only have textual labels.
Internally it always worked with a linked list of TabbedNode structures,
therefore new methods were introduced which allow basic access to the internal TabbedNodes.
While TGM_ADDTAB, TGM_REMTAB and TGM_MOVETAB still work with place numbers,
TGM_ADDNODE, TGM_REMNODE and TGM_MOVENODE allow to use node pointers.
Still you have to use TGM_ADDTAB or TGM_ADDNODE to create a new tab. You
must not allocate your own TabbedNode and insert it into the list!
The ln_Name field holds a pointer to the label. Depending on tbn_Flags
this pointer can be interpreted in different ways:
TBNF_NameIsLabel -> ln_Name points to a string
TBNF_NameIsIntuiText -> ln_Name points to a struct IntuiText
TBNF_NameIsImage -> ln_Name points to a struct Image or to a BOOPSI image object
TBNF_NameIsHook -> ln_Name points to a struct Hook. This is very similar to GTLV_CallBack in GadTools.
There is one flag which is only relevant when the tab is added by
TGM_ADDTAB or TGM_ADDNODE:
TBNF_Activate -> if this flag is set, the new tab will become the active one.
These flags are for advanced functions:
TBNF_HasCloseButton -> this flag adds a close button to the tab. The
image used can be set by the TABBED_CloseImage
tag. The size of the close button adds to the
minimum width of the tab.
When the user clicks the close button, there
will be no action except that the application
is notified about the TABBED_ClosedTab,
TABBED_ClosedNode and TABBED_ClosedID tags.
TBNF_SmallTab -> if this flag is set, the tab will stay at its
minimum width and won't be resized like regular tabs.
You can define a minimum width for all tabs
with the TBNF_SmallTab flag set using the
TABBED_SmallWidth tag.
TBNF_DontActivate -> if this flag is set, the tab won't become the
active tab when the user clicks on it. The
application will be notified via the
TABBED_ClickedTab, TABBED_ClickedNode and
TABBED_ClickedID tags.
TBNF_StopDrag -> if this flag is set, the user cannot drag other
tabs beyond this one. It is especially useful
if the tab shall stay at the end or at the
beginning of the list. But it can also be used
to seperate groups of tabs.

tabbed_gc/--preferences-- tabbed_gc/--prefetences--
PREFERENCES
The OM_NEW method of tabbed.gadget reads preferences from the
environment variable Classes/Gadgets/tabbed.prefs which is usually
stored as a file in ENV:Classes/Gadgets/tabbed.prefs and saved in
ENVARC:Classes/Gadgets/tabbed.prefs.
The following arguments are allowed:
SKEW=8 sets the value of TABBED_Skew.
ROUNDED sets TABBED_Rounded to TRUE.
MINWIDTH=0 sets the value of TABBED_MinWidth.
MAXWIDTHPERCENT=50 sets the value of TABBED_MaxWidthPercent.
CLOSEONLYACTIVE sets TABBED_CloseOnlyActive to TRUE.
BARHEIGHT=0 sets the value of TABBED_BarHeight.
TABGRADIENT sets TABBED_TabBackFill to TABBED_BACKFILL_GRADIENT.
ACTIVEGRADIENT sets TABBED_TABBED_ActiveBackFill to TABBED_BACKFILL_GRADIENT.
ALIGNLABEL=0 sets the value of TABBED_AlignLabel.
DONTOVERLAP sets TABBED_DontOverlap to TRUE.
NOEVENSIZE sets TABBED_EvenSize to FALSE.
FRAMESTYLE=0 sets the value of TABBED_FrameStyle.
LABELSPACE=0 sets the value of TABBED_LabelSpace.
SPACING=0 sets the value of TABBED_Spacing.
BRIGHTENTAB=0 sets the value of TABBED_BrightenTab.
BRIGHTENACTIVE=0 sets the value of TABBED_BrightenActive.
TABTEXTPENIX=2 sets the value of TABBED_TabTextPenIX.
TABFILLPENIX=7 sets the value of TABBED_TabFillPenIX.
SELECTEDTEXTPENIX=6 sets the value of TABBED_SelectedTextPenIX.
SELECTEDFILLPENIX=5 sets the value of TABBED_SelectedFillPenIX.
ACTIVETEXTPENIX=8 sets the value of TABBED_ActiveTextPenIX.
ACTIVEFILLPENIX=0 sets the value of TABBED_ActiveFillPenIX.
ACTIVESHADOWPENIX=4 sets the value of TABBED_ActiveShadowPenIX.
The variable can contain comments enclosed in /* and */. Arguments can be separated by spaces or new lines. Empty lines are ignored.
The preferences are read and applied by the OM_NEW method before the tags given by the application are checked. This means the application can override each of them via tags.
The V54 version first reads the GUI attributes from Intuition and tries to apply the clicktab settings. However, the concepts of these two classes are quite different, so results might differ.
Note: to get the right GUI settings, the application has to provide GA_DrawInfo with the DrawInfo of the destination screen. Otherwise Intuition returns global defaults which do not match the GUI prefs.
