Tabbed Windows within a Window

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to build a screen like below:

I started with a new main window with a docked navigation bar on the top.
Then in the bottom is the trend and some other buttons.

Now, in the middle, I would like to have a two tiered tabbed "view". For example, when Plant 1 is chosen, it will show me another view with tabbed Items 1 to Item 3. Each item will have a different set of control. When Plant 2 is chosen, there could be a different list of tabbed items.

Is it possible to do so?

As for now, I will be creating exact copies of the screens and just changing the middle part as required and navigating to different pages. But ideally, I would like to refresh the middle "view" only.

Thanks.

I would use one or more tab strips set to not do their own navigation. Then I would place containers on top of each other in that space, and control their visibility.

If it is too complicated to make that work, I'd put a template holder their and control the path to one of several templates based on the tab strip values.

Thanks pturmel!

I was hoping there would be a more elegant way of doing this.

Anyway, I have taken the Tree View and Container method, just need to juggle about 20 different containers. The Template Container would be elegant but I will end up making a heap of them.

Cheers!
