I'm working on a blog post for something similar, but more toward the way flex builder does it with a drop down at the end. Plus a bunch of other goodies. ;)
I may have it up this week, need to finish this current post first, plus do some paying work. :) I'll also provide source. jason -----Message d'origine----- De : flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Ciarán Envoyé : lundi 22 janvier 2007 16:07 À : flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Objet : [flexcoders] Help Extending TabNavigator/ButtonBar Hi All, I've posted this to the flex forums as well. I'd like help with ideas on how to extend TabNavigator to include a "more" button, for when there are too many tabs. I'm a bit in the dark when it comes to depthy depths of the Flex framework, and need to make some interesting changes to a TabNavigator component in an application under development. In this case it's a single TabNavigator, but with a *lot* of tabs. Enough for them to be truncated down to the minimum (30 pixels or so), and just fit on the screen. The problem is with the squishy truncation part. I don't want that to happen. I want the tabs to match the width of the text on their respective titles. In addition to this, the final tab needs to be a "more" tab, which should "scroll across" in effect, revealing the remaining tabs. The button is prepended and the same effect achieved in reverse when the user wants to return to the tabs at the start. I'm looking at the Source for the ButtonBar right now, but I'm not getting very far in terms of understanding where to look. I know it sources buttons from it's dataProvider. Is it possible to draw these buttons offscreen and have them slide into view? That said, does anyone know a clever way of accomplishing this or know someplace I could look where it's already implemented? Any clues/hints/ideas would be much appreciated =) Best Regards, Ciarán
