How To add Tabs to TabBox programmatically [message #1219751]

Hi!

I have a SplitBox with a TreeField on the left and a TabBox on the right.

I would like to add tabs to the TabBox as soon as the user double-clicks on the nodes of the tree (or open an already existing tab, for that matter)

How can this be achieved?

Thanx!

Uwe

A typical approach with scout would be to hide and display the tabs...

The UI in Eclipse Scout is near to a declarative approach (e.g. you know all your UI elements when the form is loaded). You have a representation of your form that is instantiated when the form is opened and rendered in one of the UI. Because this approach was too restrictive, we have introduced new possibilities (like field injection) to provide more flexibility. For some use cases this is not enough...

I am not sure to understand what your use case is; it is difficult to tell what the possibilities are...

My use case is similar to Eclipse, when you click on a file in the Explorer, it opens up a new Editor Tab.

Likewise, I would like to add new Tabs to my TabBox when the user clicks on some nodes in my TreeField.

TreeField and TabBox live togheter in a SplitBox.
