uitab
Create tabbed panel
Description
t = uitab creates a tab inside a tab group and returns the
Tab object. If there is no tab group available, MATLAB® calls the figure function to create a figure.
Then it creates a tab group in that figure, and places the tab inside the tab
group.
t = uitab( specifies tab
property values using one or more name-value pair arguments.Name,Value)
t = uitab( creates the tab in the
specified parent container. The parent container can be a tab group in a figure
created with either the parent)figure or uifigure function. Property values
for uitab vary slightly depending on whether the app is created
with the figure or uifigure function. For
more information, see Name-Value Pair Arguments.
t = uitab(
specifies the parent container and one or more properties values.parent,Name,Value)
Examples
Two Tabs in a Figure
Create a figure containing a tab group and two tabs.
f = figure; tabgp = uitabgroup(f,'Position',[.05 .05 .3 .8]); tab1 = uitab(tabgp,'Title','Settings'); tab2 = uitab(tabgp,'Title','Options');
Get the title of the first tab.
tab1.Title
ans = Settings
Scrollable Tab
The Scrollable property enables
scrolling within a tab that has components outside its borders. Scrolling is
only possible when the parent tab group is in a figure created with the
uifigure function. App Designer
uses this type of figure for creating apps.
Create a tab group containing one tab. Add six UI components to the tab, with the first three lying outside the upper border of the tab.
fig = uifigure; tg = uitabgroup(fig,'Position',[20 20 196 145]); t = uitab(tg,'Title','Member Information'); ef1 = uieditfield(t,'text','Position',[11 165 140 22],'Value','First Name'); ef2 = uieditfield(t,'text','Position',[11 140 140 22],'Value','Last Name'); ef3 = uieditfield(t,'text','Position',[11 115 140 22],'Value','Address'); dd = uidropdown(t,'Position',[11 90 140 22],'Items',{'Male','Female'}); cb = uicheckbox(t,'Position',[11 65 140 22],'Text','Member'); b = uibutton(t,'Position',[11 40 140 22],'Text','Send');
Enable scrolling by setting the Scrollable property
of the tab to 'on'. By default, the scroll box displays
at the top.
t.Scrollable = 'on';
