class tab-panel% : class?
superclass: vertical-panel%

A tab panel arranges its subwindows in a single column, but also includes a horizontal row of tabs at the top of the panel. See also panel%.

The tab-panel% class does not implement the virtual swapping of the panel content when a new tab is selected. Instead, it merely invokes a callback procedure to indicate that a user changed the tab selection.

Creates a tab pane, where the choices list specifies the tab labels.

Each string in choices can contain an ampersand, which (in the future) may create a mnemonic for clicking the corresponding tab. A double ampersand is converted to a single ampersand.

The callback procedure is called (with the event type 'tab-panel) when the user changes the tab selection.

If the style list includes 'no-border, no border is drawn around the panel content. If style includes 'deleted, then the tab panel is created as hidden, and it does not affect its parent’s geometry; the tab panel can be made active later by calling parent’s add-child method.

The font argument determines the font for the control. For information about the enabled argument, see window<%>. For information about the horiz-margin and vert-margin arguments, see subarea<%>. For information about the min-width, min-height, stretchable-width, and stretchable-height arguments, see area<%>.

> method (send a-tab-panel append choice) → void?
> choice : label-string?

Adds a tab to the right end of panel’s top row of tabs.

The label string choice can contain &, which (in the future) may create a mnemonic for clicking the new tab. A && is converted to &.

> method (send a-tab-panel delete n) → void?
> n : exact-nonnegative-integer?

Deletes an existing tab. If n is equal to or larger than the number of tabs on the panel, an exn:fail:contract exception is raised.

> method (send a-tab-panel get-item-label n) → string?
> n : exact-nonnegative-integer?

Gets the label of a tab by position. Tabs are numbered from 0. If n is equal to or larger than the number of tabs in the panel, an exn:fail:contract exception is raised.

> method (send a-tab-panel get-number) → exact-nonnegative-integer?

Returns the number of tabs on the panel.

> method (send a-tab-panel get-selection)
> → (or/c exact-nonnegative-integer? #f)

Returns the index (counting from 0) of the currently selected tab. If the panel has no tabs, the result is #f.

> method (send a-tab-panel set choices) → void?
> choices : (listof label-string?)

Removes all tabs from the panel and installs tabs with the given labels.

> method (send a-tab-panel set-item-label n label) → void?
> n : exact-nonnegative-integer?
> label : label-string?

Set the label for tab n to label. If n is equal to or larger than the number of tabs in the panel, an exn:fail:contract exception is raised.

> method (send a-tab-panel set-selection n) → void?
> n : exact-nonnegative-integer?

Sets the currently selected tab by index (counting from 0). If n is equal to or larger than the number of tabs in the panel, an exn:fail:contract exception is raised.
