Method Detail

getOrCreateRef

public static Tab getOrCreateRef(com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptObject jsObj)

setCanClose

public void setCanClose(java.lang.Boolean canClose)

Determines whether this tab should show a close icon allowing the user to dismiss the tab by clicking on the close icon directly. The URL for the close icon's image will be derived from TabSet.closeTabIcon by default, but may be overridden by explicitly specifying closeIcon.

If unset or null, this property is derived from TabSet.canCloseTabs.

Note that setting canClose means that icon cannot be used, because it's used for the closeIcon - see TabSet.canCloseTabs for a workaround.

After the TabSet has been created, you can change a tab's canClose property by calling TabSet.setCanCloseTab().

Parameters:

canClose - Default value is null

See Also:

com.smartgwt.client.widgets.tab.TabSet#closeClick, Closeable Tabs Example

getCanClose

public java.lang.Boolean getCanClose()

Determines whether this tab should show a close icon allowing the user to dismiss the tab by clicking on the close icon directly. The URL for the close icon's image will be derived from TabSet.closeTabIcon by default, but may be overridden by explicitly specifying closeIcon.

If unset or null, this property is derived from TabSet.canCloseTabs.

Note that setting canClose means that icon cannot be used, because it's used for the closeIcon - see TabSet.canCloseTabs for a workaround.

After the TabSet has been created, you can change a tab's canClose property by calling TabSet.setCanCloseTab().

Returns:

Boolean

setCanEditTitle

public void setCanEditTitle(java.lang.Boolean canEditTitle)

If specified, overrides the TabSet.canEditTabTitles setting, for this one tab only.

Note that the TabSet's titleEditEvent must be set to a supported TabTitleEditEvent in order for users to be able to edit this tab's title.

Parameters:

canEditTitle - Default value is null

See Also:

TabSet.setCanEditTabTitles(java.lang.Boolean), User-Editable Titles Example

getCanEditTitle

public java.lang.Boolean getCanEditTitle()

If specified, overrides the TabSet.canEditTabTitles setting, for this one tab only.

setCanReorder

public void setCanReorder(java.lang.Boolean canReorder)

If TabSet.canReorderTabs is set to true, setting canReorder explicitly to false for some tab will disallow drag-reordering of this tab. Has no effect if canReorderTabs is not true at the tabSet level.

Note that this setting also disallows a reorder of another tab into the slot before or following this tab. This means for tabs located at the beginning or end of the tab-bar, users cannot changing the index of the tab by dropping another before or after it. However if you have a canReorder:false tab which is not at the beginning or end of the tab bar, users can drag reorder other tabs around it which may ultimately change its position.

Parameters:

canReorder - Default value is null
