Accordion Tabs

When Tab Orientation is set to Accordion, the resulting tab widget displays the contained form below the selected tab; in the following illustration case, it is the Component Editor tab. (In this example, the Tab Height has also been set to 3 characters.)

Stacked Tabs

By default, a tab stack is displayed above the contained form. It can often be preferable to position it below the form because it focuses more attention on the form content than the tabs themselves.

The following ProcScript sets the Tab Orientation to stack, the Tab Position to bottom, and the Tab Height to 3 (characters).

vProperties = "" ; string variable to contain the widget properties
putitem/id vProperties,"taborientation","stack"
putitem/id vProperties,"tabpos","bottom"
putitem/id vProperties,"tabheight","3"
$fieldproperties(TABFIELD) = vProperties

In the following illustration, the Presentation tab is selected.
