Parameters

Parameter
Description

tag A number (1 through 1000000) that you assign when you create the tabview and that you refer to when altering the view. The number you assign must be different from the tag value of all other existing widgets in the current window. A negative tag hides the tabview.

index The index of the currently selected item (default = 0).

items A semicolon-delimited string or array of item titles.

rect The tabview's enclosing rectangle. This can be specified in either of two ways:

(i) (x,y,w,h) where x,y are the origin and w,h the size of the view.
(ii) A CGRect value

wndTag An optional parameter for when the tabview's window is not the current output window. Note specifying this parameter does not bring the window to the front or make it the output window.
