t_FormSwitch_Tabs

Tabs : Switch : Layout

A container that displays its child views in tabs - within a switch in a layout.

Description

Tabs containin one or more container views that must have either an icon or caption (or both) to show up.

Composites, Tabs, and Switches are container views. They contain other views and may contain each other to any depth. e.g. Composite->Tabs or Tabs->Switch->Tabs

In Portlets and Dialogs, they are mainly used to organize Layouts. In Layouts, they are mainly used to organize Controls e.g. Charts, Tables, Cards, ...

Properties

augment : uiIdentifier

A path to the view to augment with this view.

Augmentation rules depend on the types of augmented and augmenting views. When augmented view is a layout, such as Composite, Tabs, or Switch, and augmenting view is also of the same type, the children views will be added to the augmented layout. When both augmented views are layouts but of different type, the augmenting view is inserted next to the augmented one. When augmented view is primitive, the augmenting view is inserted next to it.

Valid values based on“string”.
:?[\p{L}_][\p{L}\p{N}_](:[\p{L}_][\p{L}\p{N}_])*	Value must begin with a letter. Case and length are not restricted. Letters and numbers are allowed. Colon is used as a scope separator. Spaces and other punctuation characters are not allowed.

caption : string

Caption text

case : string

A space separated list of metaclass names, primitive values or 'null' used to drive polymorphic display.

The case part of a polymorphic form switch. This is conceptually similar to a JAVA switch, but for UI. The value property of a parent Switch contains the expression that the cases are evaluated against. If this resolves to a non-primitive, the cases are compared against the non-primitive's class type. Note: The class, all subclasses, and the 'null' case should be handled. If it resolves to a primitive, the cases are compared directly with the value. Note: All possible values and the 'null' case should be handled. That being said Enumerated values and booleans are most appropriate. All possible values must be covered by the cases - there is no 'else' case. Within the Switch the cases are checked from left to right. The first Layout to match will be the one to display.

Example: Non-primitive case: The parent Switch value property is set to EntityList.  This is
a View Path to the the EntityList form.  There are three child Layouts with cases of
1. null 2. Person UserPerson 3. Company.  The currently selected instance in the model of
the EntityList form will determine which Layout will display.  If an instance of Company
is selected in the EntityList then Layout 3 displays.
Primitive case: The parent Switch value property is set to EntityList isPerson.
This is a View Path to the EntityList form and an Association Path to the isPerson attribute.
There again are three child Layouts with cases of 1. null 2. #t 3. #f.  As
we move through the EntityList the Layouts will dynamically display based on the values in case.
