PXTab is a data-bound UI container control that renders tabs defined by
child PXTabItem containers.
An ASPX page can contain PXTab as a main container. A tab container, as
the diagram below shows, can be also included in the following types of containers:
PXFormView
PXTabItem
PXSmartPanel
Figure 1. Nesting rules for a PXTab container in an ASPX page
A tab container can include only PXTabItem container controls.
A box for a data field can be added immediately to a child PXTabItem
container if the parent PXTab container is bound to a data view declared
within the graph that provides business logic for the ASPX page. To bind a tab container to a
data view, you must specify the properties as follows for the appropriate
PXTab object:
The DataSourceID property value must be equal to the value of the
ID property of the PXDataSource control.
The DataMember property must contain the name of the data view that
is declared in the graph and provides data for the controls of a child container that is
not a data-bound UI container.
To create a new tab container in an ASPX page, follow the instructions described in To Add a Tab Container.
To delete a tab container from an ASPX page, follow the instructions described in To Delete a Container.
