Tab Details Control Properties (Magic xpa 4.x)

Property

Description

Mobile Support

Data

The variable or expression associated with the control. It is not recommended to set an expression.

If the data has no default value, at runtime it will be updated with the value of the first tab. Online support: Since version: 2.0

Android and iOS

Variable Name

This read-only property shows the variable name as selected in the Data property.

Android and iOS

Visible Layers List

The tab layers that will be visible at Runtime. This property enables you to dynamically show, hide or reorder the tabs.

The order that you list them here will also be the order of the layers of the Tab control. If the layer list is empty, all the tabs will be shown.

The tab variable will get the value according to the layer number as defined in the Items List and the tab caption will be according to the Display List.

For example:

  • Items List = 'A,B,C,D'

  • Display List = 'Tab1, Tab2, Tab3, Tab4'

  • Layers List = '3,2'

In this case, the tab will include two tabs with caption of Tab3 and Tab2.

Pressing the first tab (with caption of Tab3) will set the Tab's variable with the value of C.

Any controls that were attached to the 3rd tab (at Studio) will be shown.

If the tab variable is updated to a layer that is not visible, then no layer will be selected.

Since version: 1.5
