RE: [flexcoders] TabNavigator vs. TabBar

[Matt Chotin]

TabNavigator is a convenience around TabBar and a ViewStack, so it’s really just whatever tickles your fancy.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 9:34 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] TabNavigator vs. TabBar   Hello All, Are there any performance gains (or issues of better resource usage) when comparing the TabNavigator Control versus the TabBar? I am a veteran VB Programmer (in addition to writing Flash RIA's for many years), and historically, the TabNavigator style control has always been a resource hog (due to the way it works, and how it contains the child containers). I must say, using the TabNavigator inside Flex is a piece of cake - especially when running in Design Mode. Still, I can't help thinking, that I may be better off using a simple TabBar combined with a ViewStack Container - especially since I am a hard-core code-writer, and really don't need to spend my days using the Design Mode. Could any of you throw any scenarios my way, as to when/where/why I should use the TabNavigator over the TabBar? (I am a huge fan of Tab-Based Controls for RIA's) Thanks in advance for your advice, Mike __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company YAHOO!
