How to change tab widget in TabPanel?
How can I modify the tab widget in a TabPanel? I don't see any set methods for Widgets or tab Widgets. Do I have to remove the existing Widget just to re-add the same Widget with a different tab widget? What kind of screen flash/update will this cause? This seems like a major oversight in the TabPanel API. -Dave --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.

Re: How to change tab widget in TabPanel?
It looks like I might be able to change the tab via setTabHTML on the TabBar. There is no way to get and modify the same component that was placed in the tab bar but I might be able to set its HTML to the same effect. -Dave On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 8:44 AM, dhoffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How can I modify the tab widget in a TabPanel?

Re: How to change tab widget in TabPanel?
Hi David, You cannot easily get at the widget you used for a tab header. TabBar.getTabHTML() doesn't work if you loaded a widget into a tab header. I am not sure why this is, i.e. why this is so difficult in the case of TabPanel. A solution is to accept that if you need more than CSS to drive your tab header behaviour, then you probably need to extend TabPanel. If you need to go to that trouble then you can also easily keep a Map of the widgets you load into the TabBar headers and manipulate (or replace) them as required as tabs are selected (via the event system). regards gregor On Dec 9, 3:59 pm, David Hoffer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It looks like I might be able to change the tab via setTabHTML on the TabBar.

Yeah, extending TabPanel seems like a good way to go as I have dynamic tab content. -Dave On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 1:43 PM, gregor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi David, You cannot easily get at the widget you used for a tab header.
