I just looked through the TabPanes tutorial in trunk /tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/navigation/TabPanes.java /tutorials/src/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/navigation/tab_panes.bxml
The logic to select a tab after another one is closed, exists as a custom TabPaneListener in TabPanes.java rather than in the TabPane component itself. Is it done this way because 'closing' a tab just results in a call to TabSequence.remove()? If so, perhaps it would be worth adding some sort of TabPane.closeTab(int tabIndex) method which would close the tab and then reselect another (if there is one). This is the behaviour I would expect, and perhaps many others too. On a vaguely similar theme, should there be user friendly methods for handling the collapsed state of the TabPane? - tabPane.setCollapsed(boolean collapsed) - tabPane.isCollapsed() rather than - tabPane.setSelectedIndex(-1 / 0..n) - ((tabPane.getSelectedIndex() == -1) && isCollapsible()) At the least we need to document the significance of setting the selected tab index to -1 or 0..n; Chris
