Tabs won't show off if coded

[patricc...@gmail.com]

Hello everybody,

I'm just trying to create the tabs from the Designer via code.

And I did something like this:

 public void start() {

      

        Form main = new Form("Stories");

        main.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        Tabs t = new Tabs(Component.BOTTOM);

        t.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        Container stories = new Container();

        stories.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        stories.addComponent(BorderLayout.WEST,new Label("test"));

        stories.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER,new Label("test"));

        stories.addComponent(BorderLayout.EAST,new Label("test"));

        

        Container messages = new Container();

        messages.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        t.addTab("Stories",stories);

        t.addTab("Messages",messages);

        t.showTabs();

        t.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener() {

public void selectionChanged(int oldSelected, int newSelected) {

}

});

        main.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER,t);

        main.show();

    }

But there are problems I mean the tabs only appear sometimes, or only after rotating the device in the simulator, and the tabs are without content, so i can't see the containers contant.

What could be the problem here ?

Thank you

Patric

Hi,

Remove this t.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

You shouldn't modify the Tabs layout.

Hi,

thank you for you'r answer!

I tried it, now i can see the Labels of the container, but still the problem that the Tabs are rendered only some times, or only after i rotate the simulator.

Thanks

Hi,
just ran this without a problem:

        Form main = new Form("Stories");
        main.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        Tabs t = new Tabs(Component.BOTTOM);

        Container stories = new Container();
        stories.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        stories.addComponent(BorderLayout.WEST,new Label("test"));
        stories.addComponent(BorderLayout.CENTER,new Label("test"));
        stories.addComponent(BorderLayout.EAST,new Label("test"));
       
        Container messages = new Container();
        messages.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

        t.addTab("Stories",stories);
        t.addTab("Messages",messages);

        //t.showTabs();
