Stretch Tabstrip

[faebulicious]

Hi everyone

I'd like to design some kind of a cockpit in WD which fits to the browser's viewport. for the most "container" components it's possible to set the height to 100%. in my case i use a tabstrip component and it seems that the value 100% for its height has no effect, while absolute values in px are working. Is there are trick/workaround to get the tabstrip expanded to the whole viewport height?

Thanks in advance.

Fabian,

I don't understand the problem here. It works fine for me. The tab strip is getting streched for me.

Hi Arjun

I've just made another test. I created a new view with the following conditions:

ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER: Flowlayout, width=100%, height=100%

- TABSTRIP: width: 100%, height=100%

--TAB

---TRANSPARENTCONT: Flowlayout, width=100%, height=100%

-

---

BUTTON

And... it still doesn't work. So, I think it ist not possible with relativ values.

Fabian,

Don't give any value of height and width for ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER.

ie make it like this:

ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER: Flowlayout (leave width and height field as blank)

- TABSTRIP: width: 100%, height=100%

--TAB

---TRANSPARENTCONT: Flowlayout, width=100%, height=100%

-

---

BUTTON

Hi Arjun

I just tested your advice. I placed a transparent container directly in the tab and set its width and height to 100%. Also, I changed the layout stuff to FlowLayout. Unfortunately it didn't work out. Any other suggestions?

Thank in advance.

Fabian,

Set the layout of the ROOTUIELEMENTCONTAINER as flow layout and set the height and width of the TabStrip UI element as 100%. I will work.

Hi Fabian,

The size of a tab strip normally depends on the size of the UI element present in it. So I would suggest you that you should insert a group or a transparent container and stretch it vertically as well as horizontally. Set its height and width as 100% an then design your layout in it. I suppose it will fit to the browser size.

or try using flow layout and then set the width and height of tabstrip to 100%.

I hope it helps.

Regards

Arjun
