Class Fox::FXTabBar
In: rdoc-sources/FXTabBar.rb
Parent: FXPacker

The FXTabBar layout manager arranges tab items side by side, and raises the active tab item above the neighboring tab items. In a the horizontal arrangement, the tab bar can have the tab items on the top or on the bottom. In the vertical arrangement, the tabs can be on the left or on the right. When one of the tab items is pressed, the tab bar‘s setCurrent() method is called with notify of true. This in turn causes the tab bar to send a SEL_COMMAND message to its target.
