Subject: [flexcoders] How can I block a TabNavigator ?


 Hello everybody ... I'm having a little problem ..

 The thing is that I have an application that shows a TabNavigator, a
 form inside it and two buttons a the bottom of the TabNavigator. Those
 buttons are simply previous/next buttons to go to the previous/next
 container in the TabNavigator. I need to block de event 'change' in
 the TabNavigator to make the user click the buttons rather than the
 tabs to navigate through the panels ...

 If anyone can help me, I'll thanks a lot !!

 Regards.-

 Javier.

If you don't want a tab to behave like a tab, shouldn't you be using
something else perhaps?

Paul

What you can do is iterate through the TabNavigator's tabs and disable
each of them. By disabling them, the change event will not get emitted.
Use TabNavigator.getTabAt() and set the enabled property to false for
each Tab.

Now, when you disable a Tab, the Tab will assume the look of its
disabled state (grayed out, etc). You probably want the Tab to look
enabled even if it is disabled - in which case you'll have to change the
Tab's disabledSkin.

Horrors. It's really good making the user think (s)he can navigate the tabs,
then discover they can't. Is this really good practice?
Even with the disabled tabs - hey I completed the info, now it's become
invalid..

Yes, I agree, its bad design. The benefits
of exposing tabs for browsing and then disabling them and forcing the user to
follow some other route to navigate through the container makes no sense to me
but I was just answering the posters initial question J
