nested tabLayout refresh problem

[Michał Frątczak]

I've got a nested tabLayout that has problems with displaying it's content.

The layouts hierarchy looks like: window -> tabLayout -> paneLayout -> tabLayout -> paneLayout -> textScrollList 

After showing the window, the active tab is empty, and I have to switch to other tab to refresh.

This is a big problem when i want to draw only one outer tab and one inner - there's no way to refresh. 

Here's a demo (pardon MEL, but python does the same):

proc test_tabLayout()
{
        window;
 
        tabLayout;
        for($i=0; $i<5; ++$i)
        {
                paneLayout;
                        tabLayout;
                                for($j=0; $j<5; ++$j)
                                {
                                        paneLayout;
 
                                        $textScrollListUI = `textScrollList`;
 
                                        for($k=0; $k<5; ++$k)
                                        {
                                                string $item = ($i+1)*($j+1)*($k+1);
                                                textScrollList -e -a $item $textScrollListUI;
                                        }
 
                                        setParent..; // to inner tab
                                }
                                setParent..; // to outer pane
                        setParent..; // to outer tab
        }
 
        showWindow;
}
 
test_tabLayout;

Ok, don't ask me why this this is really needed, but obviously there is some kind of refresh issue with the nested tabs, and if you make it switch tabs and back programmatically, then it works. This small snippet at the end of your function fixes it with a hack. Note, the commented parts are only needed if you were only creating one top level tab and needed a dummy to switch to:

proc test_tabLayout()

{

        window;

 

        string $tabs = `tabLayout`;

        

        for($i=0; $i<5; ++$i)

        {

                paneLayout;

                        tabLayout;

                                for($j=0; $j<5; ++$j)

                                {

                                        paneLayout;

 

                                        $textScrollListUI = `textScrollList`;

 

                                        for($k=0; $k<5; ++$k)

                                        {

                                                string $item = ($i+1)*($j+1)*($k+1);

                                                textScrollList -e -a $item $textScrollListUI;

                                        }

 

                                        setParent..; // to inner tab

                                }

                                setParent..; // to outer pane

                        setParent..; // to outer tab

        }

 

        showWindow;

        //string $dummy = `paneLayout`;

        tabLayout -edit -sti 2 $tabs;

        tabLayout -edit -sti 1 $tabs;

        //deleteUI $dummy;

}

 

test_tabLayout;
