Tab Item Container (PXTabItem)

PXTabItem is a container control that can be used to render a single record from the data source specified for the parent PXTab container.

A tab item container, as the diagram below shows, can be included only in a PXTab container.
Figure 1. Nesting rules for a PXTabItem container in an ASPX page


A tab item container can include multiple ASPX objects of the following types:
  • A data-bound UI container control: PXFormView, PXGrid, and PXTab
  • A layout rule: PXLayoutRule
  • A box for a data field: PXTextEdit, PXNumberEdit, PXMaskEdit, PXDateTimeEdit, PXCheckBox, PXDropDown, PXSelector, PXSegmentMask, and PXTreeSelector
  • Another control: PXPanel, PXGroupBox, PXRadioButton, PXLabel, PXButton, and PXJavaScript

A box for a data field can be added to a tab item 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 create a new tab item container in a tab container in an ASPX page, follow the instructions described in To Add a Nested Container.

To delete a tab item container from an ASPX page, follow the instructions described in To Delete a Child UI Element.
