Summary

The atkTabbedPane attribute allows addition of subtabs to forms.

Sections will create a node level tabbed pane. This how to is for tabs as an attribute. See: Grouping attributes

Requirements

ATK 6.0+

Implementations

1. Include the attribute like you would any other attribute:

useattrib("atktabbedpane");

2. Add attributes to atkTabbedPane

The general constructor of atkTabbedPane is:

atkTabbedPane (String $name, [Array $tabs = array()], int $flags)

• String $name: The name of the attribute
• Array $tabs: The arrays looks like array("tabname1"=>array("attribname1","attribname2"),"tabname1"=>array(..),..)
• int $flags: The flags for this attribute

For example if we had a node with the following attributes:

• name
• age
• address
• comment

And we wanted to have name and age on a single subtab and address and comment on a separate subtab at the same level, we would use atkTabbedPane as follows:

$this->add(new atkTabbedPane("mySubTab", array("name_age"=>array("name","age"), "add_com"=>array("address","comment")) ));

3. Test

If everything was done correctly, when we refresh the node, we should see two subtabs: name_age with attributes name and age and subtab add_com with address and comment attributes.
