How to set the width of a TabItem's tab?

[DavidHoffer]

I want to have nested TabPanels. In the sub TabPanel there will only ever be two TabItems. How can I set the width of these two TabItems to be 50%? E.g. I don't want the tab header's width to be based on the width of the text content, I want it to be about half the parent panel's width. How can I do this?

Hi.

Try setting

tabPanel.setResizeTabs(true) 

This probably will be enough for you.

This is weird. If I just call...

setResizeTabs(true)

about 50% of the time the tabs are just a bit wider than the text requires...the other 50% there is no difference (normal size).

If I set the min tab width first...

tabPanel.setMinTabWidth(295);
tabPanel.setResizeTabs(true);

Then about 66% of the time it will be larger as needed. However the other 33% of the time it's back to normal size. What's up with this? How do I make it work 100% of the time?
