TabPanel setTabPosition gone?

[TheBuzzer]

I realized I can't set the tabs to the bottom anymore using setTabPosition becuase it seems to be gone.

Is there a new method to do that?

[sven]

This is still possible. Thanks to your new appearance stuff, you can simple change the appearance:

new TabPanel(GWT.<TabPanelAppearance> create(BlueTabPanelBottomAppearance.class));

This should be what you are looking for.

Thanks! This is exactly what I am looking for.

As a follow on, how do you get your tab panel to add scroll bars?

[sven]

You mean like in this example http://www.sencha.com/examples/#Exam...e:advancedtabs?

This can be enabled with

tabPanel.setTabScroll(true);

Thanks for the quick response.

No sorry, what I mean is scrolling for the contents of the tabPanel.

In GXT 2.2.5, there was scrolling on the TabItem, in GXT 3.0 there is no more TabItem and my content for a TabPanel is larger than the display area. I have been unable to locate how to enable scrolling for the tabPanel.

This depends on what you are adding the the TabPanel. What Widget are you putting there in?

Say I am adding a HtmlLayoutContainer, how do I get scrollbars in the tabPanel?

Ex:

TabPanel tabs = new TabPanel();
tabs.setAnimScroll(true);
tabs.setTabScroll(true);

HtmlLayoutContainer hlc = new HtmlLayoutContainer(getProviderMarkup());

tabs.add(hlc, "More Details");

A HtmlLayoutContainer, how can one get scrolling in such a container?

[sven]

Try to set it directly on the element:

htmlLayoutContainer.getElement().getStyle().setOverflow(Overflow.AUTO);
