Hi,
All you need to do is this;
1. Subclass TabNavigator;
2. create
-> protected var addButton:Button
3. In createChildren() ovveride;
addButton = new Button();
addButton.styleName = this;
addButton.label = "Add";
addButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, addButton_clickHandler);
rawChildren.addChild(addButton);
4. In the updateDisplayList() override
position the addButtonl; something like..
addButton.move(unscaledWidth - rightPadding -
addButton.getMeasuredOrExplicitWidth(), paddingTop);
addButton.setActualSize(addButton.getMeasuredOrExplicitWidth
addButton.getMeasuredOrExplicitHeight
());
Your needs may vary.
5. create the handler
private function addButton_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event("addButtonClick"));
}
Vola, you now have a button that you could even skin and...
It gives you a custom event to listen for outside of the TabNavigator.
If you are just using a Tab button, it is the smae procedure although there
might be depth issues that you will have to address.
Peace, Mike

Hi Dan,
I can think of two possible approaches.
You could create a proxy data-provider that places a layer between the
control and the real data provider, that manipulates the data for this view
(by adding your pseudo item).
or…
You could create a subclass of the control that adds the functionality you
are describing. I think this would be preferable, since, as you said, this
is an aspect of the view, not the data.
I'll be interested to see what other ideas there are about this one too.
Cheers,
Lach

Hi,
I want to implement a tabBar that with the last tab labeled "new" so
that when ever the user click that "new" tab, a new tab is added to the
dataprovider. However, I don't want to add a "new" object in that
dataprovider for that labeled "new" tab at the tail, since it will
complicated that other operation working on that dataprovider (since
that "new" tab is actually not one of the data) Is there any way to
achieve it? Can i manually add a new tab to the tab bar without
changing the dataprovider?
Thx in advance for any advice.
Dan
