CustomExpandable-Type Tabs

Users can create an expandable tab, that is, a tab that contains a button on the right side to expand the window and display more controls. The syntax is the same as the Custom type, but adds a class to the end of the declaration, as in the next syntax.

U=(XControl,Icon,Tip)|(ExpandedXControl,Size)

 

Consider the next example.

U=(custom.CustomDisplay1,custom.CustomIcon1,Here comes a custom tip)|(custom.CustomDisplay2,700x600)

 

In this case, a custom tab is displayed with the following features:

The collapsed tab displays the CustomDisplay1 object, created in the custom.lib library

This icon's tab is the CustomIcon1 object, created in the custom.lib library

The button to open this tab contains a help text "Here comes a custom tip"

This tab contains a command to expand the window

The expanded tab displays the CustomDisplay2 object, created in the custom.lib library

The window's with when expanding is 700 pixels, while its height is 600 pixels

 

NOTE

The Tip parameter is optional and does not allow using the comma, semicolon, and pipe (|) characters, and also the ASCII characters between 0 (zero) and 31 and the character 127 (DEL).
