Adding ContentPanels to regions

[Animal]

As you add, it creates tabs if you have autoTabs:true on the region config.

How do you specify that the tab created by the add(myContentPanel) call be closable?

this works:


closeOnTab: true

it add the "x" image on the tabs to close the panel added

I have



this.listPanel = new YAHOO.ext.GridPanel(this.grid,
{
title:"The List",
fitToFrame:true,
closeOnTab: true
});
this.layout.add("north", this.listPanel);


And there's no "x", my list tab is not closable.

it works in borderLoyout, i don't know if the interface is the same, sorry...

A panel has the closable attribute:

closable: true

The closeOnTab attribute is for the region:

north: {
closeOnTab: true
....
}

Hmmm. I don't want all the tabs to be closable, just selected ones.

I have 1 or more filter tabs in which are entered selection criteria. These should not be closable.

When "Search" is clicked, I create a Grid and a GridPanel and add that, which becomes the last tab. That should be closable - just for user convenience.

Repeating a "Search" operation removes the grid panel (tab), and creates a new one, but I'd like the user to have the choice.

Yep, that's why "closable" is on the panel, not the region. closeOnTab just tells where to put the close icon for that region.

Ahah! You need both!

closeOnTab in the Region, and closable in the ContentPanel!
