Creating tabs in JSL

Stas — Mon, 18 May 2020 14:57:48 GMT

Hey guys, I'm a very new user and my question is very basic, can you please help me understand how do I create tabs with content? For example instead of textbox X, X tab that will show Y and Z textboxes with it content.

vlistbox(
						textbox("X", <<font color(blue), <<set font size(10), <<set font style("bold")),
						textbox("Y", <<font color(black), <<set font size(10), <<set font style("bold")),
					hlistbox(
								
								
							Button Box("abc", 
							
								Include("")
							),			
							Button Box("def", 
								
								Include("")
							),
													
						),
						textbox("Z", <<font color(black), <<set font size(10), <<set font style("bold")),
					hlistbox(
								
							Button Box("ghi", 
								
								open("")
							),	
							Button Box("jkl", 
								
								Include("")
							),			
							Button Box("mno", 
								
								Include("")
							),
													
						),	
					),

Something like this? Be sure to check the scripting index for tab box.

nw = New Window( "Tab Test",
	V List Box(
		tab box(
			"X",
			H List Box(
				Text Box( "Y", <<font color( black ), <<set font size( 10 ), <<set font style( "bold" ) ),
				Button Box( "abc", 
					Include( "" )
				),
				Button Box( "def", 
					Include( "" )
				), 
			),
			"Z",
			H List Box(
				Button Box( "ghi", 
					Open( "" )
				),
				Button Box( "jkl", 
					Include( "" )
				),
				Button Box( "mno", 
					Include( "" )
				),
			), 
		),
	),
);

In continue to my question, is there a way to style the tabs or (which is better) change the color/font of the tab text?

Not answering your question directly but, continuing the example from @pmroz, you can do a right mouse click to bring up the properties of the display:

Cool Ian - I had no idea you could do that! Thanks for pointing it out.

No problem! A nice (JMP 14?) feature that I always thought didn't get enough attention.

@pmroz what is the purpose of the "V List Box" in this script?

I only included it because the original poster had it in their code. Technically it is not needed for my example.
