TabPanel - 100% height for client widget?

[Magnus]

Hello,

I would like my TabPanel to let its tab clients occupy the whole
available vertical space.

The TabPanel itself is located as I want it to be.

But the single tab pages always reside at the top of the client area.
But I would like to have them centered vertically.

Can you help?

I tried the following:

TabPanel pnl = new TabPanel ();
pnl.setSize ("100%","100%");
pnl.setAnimationEnabled(false);

VerticalPanel p = new VerticalPanel ();
p.setSize ("100%","100%");
HTML txt1 = new HTML("This isa Text 1.");
p.add (txt1);
pnl.add (p,"Home 1");

HTML txt2 = new HTML("This is Text 2.");
pnl.add (txt2,"Home 2");

Thanks
Magnus

I think you need call pnl .setHeight(Window.getClientHeight()) method.

Hi,

this does set height to the height of the browser window when
starting. But the height did not change when browser window changes

In addition, it would set the wrong height! The height of the TabPanel
(pnl) is ok, it covers 100 % of the available space.
But the VerticalPanel p that I add as the client panel to one of the
tab pages is not affected.

Look at this screenshot:

The TabPanel (red border) is ok. But its child panel (blue border) is
crunched at the top.

How can I get the blue border maximized to the red border?

Thanks

I think for that you will require to set its border explicitly.

that will settle this issue.

you can add a dummy panel on tab home1 or home2 and set its height 

but here  if you set height using % then it will not work you will have to set height in pixels or any other like em...

i hope this will work.

Thanks! I tried with "dummy panels", VerticalPanel and SimplePanel. I
tried absolute and relative sizes but nothing seems to have an effect.

private void init ()
{

TabPanel pnl = new TabPanel ();
pnl.setSize ("100%","100%");

//pnl.setHeight ("100px");

SimplePanel p = new SimplePanel ();
p.setPixelSize (100,200);

HTML txt1 = new HTML("This isa Text 1.");
p.add (txt1);

// txt1.setPixelSize (200,200);

pnl.add (p,"Home 1");

HTML txt2 = new HTML("This is Text 2.");
pnl.add (txt2,"Home 2");
}

Hi,

sorry for repeating and posting in this thread without solution, but I
must say that TabLayoutPanel is useless for me if its size cannot be
maximized.

So I'll have to build my own TabPanel, but this is not satisfactory
since a framework should prevent me from building my own versions of
things that should be already available.

I cannot understand why TabLayoutPanel insists on having its content
area squeezed at the top...

Have you tried using CSS?

.my-tab-content {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}

this *should* work as long as it's parent is positioned (relative/
absolute)...

The new layout panels I think require a RootLayoutPanel not a
RootPanel... but I can't remember exactly.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi,

this makes the size of the content equal to the size of the whole tab
panel. The result is that the content is drawn over the tabs at the
top.

But with this method one can influence the size at all. Can't we
modify your CSS somehow?

There must be a solution, or am I the only one who does not like the
contents to be squeezed at the top?

Thanks
Magnus
