Tabview

obj:tabview

A tabview is an object that can hold multiple tab objects. You first create the tabview object and then add tab objects to it.

Property	Value	Default	Description
val	int8	0	The number of the active tab, starting at 0
text	string	""	The name of the active tab
btn_pos	0..4	1	Position of the tab buttons: 0 = none 1 = top 2 = bottom 3 = left 4 = right
count	uint16	0	Read-only The number of tabs of the tabview

To change the currently visible tab, use the val attribute after all tabs have been added.

Note

To adjust the height of the tab buttons row, use pad_top40 and pad_bottom40 styling properties. Accepts also negative values.
To adjust the text size of the tab names, use the text_font40 styling property.

obj:tab

Property	Value	Default	Description
parentid	int8	0	The id of the tabview object to which this tab is added
