[vwnc] Changing TabControl dynamically

I would like to change the number of tabs and labels of TabControl
based on the situation, similar to Firefox. RefactoringBrowser changes
tabs based on the selection (Class or Name Space etc). I tried to read
through the RefactoringBrowser source, but it is hard. I think it is
possible to change the label specifications and install a new
TabControl on a Subcanvas. Is there a way to change without
reinstalling a new TabControl? Any hints would be appreciated.

You could check out the RBTabbedToolSet-Ext in the public store, which
amongst other things include code where tabs are added/deleted dynamically.

Cheers,
Henry

Re: [vwnc] Changing TabControl dynamically

Was a little quick there, the code isn't located in the package itself.
Starting from the close/open methods in the Controller should take you
to the spot where it's done pretty fast though.

Thanks Henrik. I notice the RBTabbedToolSet-Ext after I posted the
message. I will look into the package.

Thanks

1)Do you want to change the controller of a tabbed view dynamically? (reading your subject)
2) Or you just want to change the labels of the tabbed view?

I think doing 1) is bad, but I'm not sure that I did understand you 100%.

If you want to do 2), what I recommend you is to change the visualBlock of the tabbed view. As Henrik Johansen said, in the package RBTabbedToolsets-Ext you can see how I changed the visualBlock for each tab.

If you need more info about that implementation, don't hesitate asking me about it.

Hope it helps,
Lautaro Fernández

Re: [vwnc] Changing TabControl dynamically

A number of years ago I had the same problem. In the end I defined a
new ApplicationModel, a TabMainModel and a TabSubModel that did the
trick.

The fundamental problem is the fact that bindings are maintained in
the UIBuilder. This is replaced when a new page is displayed. I
therefor chose to move bindings from the builder to the
applicationmodel. I started with the ideas of Tim Howard.

I work with this for years and it works fine. It is not only possible
to change the tabs, but also the menu displayed with a tab.

The problem currently is that it is not well documented and that it
has some elements which are application specific. In order to publish
it I have to clean up things and to document it.

[vwnc] CodeCity 1.3 is out

In reply to this post by Shiro Ogawa

Dear VisualWorks community,

I wanted to let you know that a new version of CodeCity (visualization of software using a 3D city metaphore) with a lot of new features is out.

The new release of CodeCity adds support for evolution analysis and for scripting visualizations, and more stylish configurations.

Please have a look and tell me what you think. You can get the release from:

http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/wettel/codecity-download.html

All the best,

Ricky
