@Tag("vaadin-tabs") @NpmPackage(value="@vaadin/polymer-legacy-adapter",version="24.3.11") @NpmPackage(value="@vaadin/tabs",version="24.3.11") @JsModule("@vaadin/polymer-legacy-adapter/style-modules.js") @JsModule("@vaadin/tabs/src/vaadin-tabs.js") public class Tabs extends Component implements HasEnabled, HasSize, HasStyle, HasThemeVariant<TabsVariant>
Tabs are used to organize and group content into sections that the user can navigate between. Use Tabs when you want to allow in-place navigation within a certain part of the UI, instead of showing everything at once or forcing the user to navigate between different views.

Tab components can be added to this component with the add(Tab...) method or the Tabs(Tab...) constructor. The Tab components added to it can be selected with the setSelectedIndex(int) or setSelectedTab(Tab) methods. The first added Tab component will be automatically selected, firing a Tabs.SelectedChangeEvent, unless autoselection is explicitly disabled with Tabs(boolean, Tab...), or setAutoselect(boolean). Removing the selected tab from the component changes the selection to the next available tab.

Note: Adding or removing Tab components via the Element API, eg. tabs.getElement().insertChild(0, tab.getElement()); , doesn't update the selected index, so it may cause the selected tab to change unexpectedly.

    • replace

      @Deprecated public void replace(Component oldComponent, Component newComponent)
      Deprecated.
      since 24.0, use replace(Tab, Tab) instead.
      Replaces the tab in the container with another one without changing position. This method replaces tab with another one is such way that the new tab overtakes the position of the old tab. If the old tab is not in the container, the new tab is added to the container. If the both tabs are already in the container, their positions are swapped. Tab attach and detach events should be taken care as with add and remove.
      Parameters:
      oldComponent - the old tab that will be replaced. Can be null, which will make the newTab to be added to the layout without replacing any other
      newComponent - the new tab to be replaced. Can be null, which will make the oldTab to be removed from the layout without adding any other

      Replacing the currently selected tab will make the new tab selected.

    • setFlexGrowForEnclosedTabs

      public void setFlexGrowForEnclosedTabs(double flexGrow)
      Sets the flex grow property of all enclosed tabs. The flex grow property specifies what amount of the available space inside the layout the component should take up, proportionally to the other components.

      For example, if all components have a flex grow property value set to 1, the remaining space in the layout will be distributed equally to all components inside the layout. If you set a flex grow property of one component to 2, that component will take twice the available space as the other components, and so on.

      Setting to flex grow property value 0 disables the expansion of the component. Negative values are not allowed.

      Parameters:
      flexGrow - the proportion of the available space the enclosed tabs should take up
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if flexGrow is negative
