Looking for tabs managment in Thunderbird 3.0

[Julien Iguchi-Cartigny]

Hello,

Following my previous mail, I want that my addon has its own tab in
thunderbird 3.0, but I don't find the functions for managing tab (It
doesn't seem that the code for tab managment for firefox could be
used: <https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Code_snippets/Tabbed_browser>).
Does anyone can point me to the correct API for doing this.

Furthemore, I want to create my own application in it (and not
download a web page), how can i create a tab and create a GUI with XUL
for it ?

Cheers,

Julien.

The API you're looking for is probably best described here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/tabmail.xml#54

Some examples of simple tab-types can be found at:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/specialTabs.js#60

Probably the simplest way to do what you're looking to do is to create an
XBL binding that defines your GUI. Then you can register a tab-type with the
perTabPanel attribute pointing to your new binding. For example, this is
what I was working on in Bug 457270. You can see the beginnings of the
binding, as well as the registration here:
