Hi,
It's possible to generate view Containers as Tabs?
I'd like to organize my form contents better. I have a large nurmber of fields and that makes it ugly.

Something like change the Representation of a group to "Tab".

Thanks!

Hi,

I know this is quite an old topic, but as I could not find any information on the subject and had to figure out by myself, I post my results here as it might be useful to somebody.

In order to get several Tab in the view of an object:

- The first step is to have the basic editor working.
- Then you have to create as many views as you want for tabs in one of the .component repository.
- Still in the .component go to the Properties Edition Component of the Object you want to have tabs for.
- Add alls the view (tabs) you just created to its Binding Section
- Regenerate the eef architecture
- Copy the new  from the xxx_properties.plugin.xml generated
- Paste it in the plugin.xml of you .editor project, (in place of the previous code for tabs)
- In this plugin.xml you may as well change the names of your tabs

It worked for me, hope it will for you

Colin

Hi Colin,

the xxx_properties.plugin.xml generated must be pasted in the plugin.xml of .editor project or .edit project?

Hi Yash,

You should check out the tutorial called EEF first generation on eclipse wiki.
from what i know, you should only paste the second part of the file (all the content following the line "  ") into the .editor-project's plugin.xml.
This suppose you did the tutorial before, so you should replace what you pasted in the first place.
The first half of the xxx_properties.plugin.xml is supposed to be pasted in the plugin.xml of the .edit project, but in my case it wasn't changed at all.

Good Luck !
