About Notebook and NotebookTab components

Notebook and NotebookTab components allow you to reuse screen space. A Notebook is a component that contains one or more tabs. Each tab can contain other components such as edit boxes, grids, buttons, and so on. The components contained in a tab are visible only when the tab is selected.

If a notebook contains too many tabs to fit horizontally, the framework automatically supplies horizontal scroll bars. If you prefer to group notebook tabs in a single tab, you can set the Tabs As Dropdown property. A designable flex layout is added to a notebook once the Tabs As Dropdown property is enabled where you may add regions and controls to each region or if you prefer to stack notebook tabs instead of using scroll bars, you can set the No Scroll property.

For most forms, you can perform these actions:

  • Add a notebook
  • Add tabs to a notebook
  • Configure existing notebook tabs
  • Configure flex layout header regions
  • Delete tabs from a notebook
