Tab Container - Offset/Indent First Tab

Thanks. Don't know why the tabs array is not filled with objects like that to begin with, but that worked. I do get a warning "tabs[0] object found, string expected" - just a warning, so nbd. [image] [image] [image] Also funny to me that the prop in this case is disabled when in most cases it's enable. I was thinking maybe it was programmatically linked to the style that is used, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any way to make the tab size a % of the window, instead of px?

Just a warning

Yes, you can safely ignore the warning. It's simply the schema informing you that the tab item has a declared type of "string", but you've turned it into an object. I forget why we didn't or couldn't update that type.

Thanks to both of you for your replies.

viewPath doesn't work as shown in the manual. My version is 8.1.33.

Should I use embedded views per tab and link it manually?

[cmallonee]

We have testing in place to ensure that it does indeed work. Could you please share your configured properties and a screenshot of the desired View at it exists in the Project Browser of your Designer after saving your project. I need to see that you've supplied the path to View correctly.

I created a new project to test it.

I made sure I saved it.

View "Sub Tab 1" is a big smiley.

Edit:
I see someone had the same problem.

Tab viewPath not rendering selected view

i was trying to find a workaround for the fact that you can't change the display of a particular tab. and in setting the tab's indicies to object, i could add the disabled property. what i was expecting was the viewPath property to populate the tab contents, not the tab itself. and, oddly enough, the errors that display, expecting strings, doesn't hamper the functioning of the tab-as-object. so, thank you for helping me clear up the functional differences there.

I don't see my viewPath as a path so it's not doing either one. @cmallonee maybe you can answer over there as the post is addressing exactly this.

How are you expecting this tab to work? You can't supply both a text property AND viewPath property. Delet the text property and your tab should begin working.

From the docs:

If the element is changed to an object data type, then the text on the tab can be set by adding a text value member to the object and providing a string, as seen on element 0 below. Alternatively, viewPath (value data type) and viewParams (object data type) can be added to the element, which allows you to render a view inside the tab as well as pass parameters to it.

Notice in the example screenshots from the docs that the Tab configured to display a View does not have the text property.

Here is my mistake. I thought that viewPath was for the content and not the header.

It made sense to me because it's only possible to add one component inside a tab, which will mostly be another embedded view.

You can't supply both a text property AND viewPath property. Delet the text property and your tab should begin working.

It does make sense to have the option to add an embedded view as a tab.

Thanks!

Edit:
Although I'm just using text instead of viewPath, I do like the other two options: disabled and runWhileHidden.
