2006/1/9, me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I have just started working with MyFaces and have come across a couple issues > with the tabs and events. The first straightforward, the second more > philosophical. > > 1) Tomahawk's org.apache.myfaces.custom.tabbedpane.tabChangeEvent has the > value for the tab index, but not the tab id which might be useful in some > cases. If, for example, the tabs are reordered, the event listener can still > identify the selected UIComponent. One solution is to add a tabComponent > property to tabChangeEvent that is set to child tab that is selected. > > 2) The tabChangeEvent has an oldTabIndex, but I am not sure if it is useful. > Consider if it is the first time the tabs have been accessed - what is the > value of oldTabIndex? If the above suggestion is implemented and the parallel > property oldTabComponent is added, what would be the value of oldTabComponent > on the first run? Null? What value for oldTabIndex would agree with that? > Also, in order to get the old tab index, a special value for the tab must be > posted, which in turn means this value can not be used for a tab label. This > must be the reason for the lines in HtmlTabbedPaneRenderer that change the > label to "Tab x" even if it is explicitly set to an empty string. > > It should be left to the listener or its delegates to handle the change and > store any old values it may need. > > Steve > > >
