uitabgroup
Create container for tabbed panels
Syntax
Description
tg = uitabgroup creates a tab group in the current figure and
returns the TabGroup object. If there is no figure available, MATLAB® calls the figure function to create one. Tab groups are
containers for tabs. They allow you to identify the selected tab, and detect when the user
selects a different tab.
tg = uitabgroup( specifies tab
group property values using one or more name-value pair arguments.Name,Value)
tg = uitabgroup( creates the tab group
in the specified parent container. The parent container can be a figure created with either
the parent)figure or uifigure function, or a child container such as a panel. Property values for
uitabgroup vary slightly depending on whether the app is created with
the figure or uifigure function. For more
information, see Name-Value Pair Arguments.
tg = uitabgroup(
specifies the parent container and one or more properties values.parent,Name,Value)
Examples
Tab Group Containing Two Tabs
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 currently selected tab.
currenttab = tabgp.SelectedTab
currenttab =
Tab (settings) with properties:
Title: 'settings'
BackgroundColor: [0.9400 0.9400 0.9400]
Position: [0.0119 0.0089 0.9702 0.9107]
Units: 'normalized'
Scrollable Tab in a Tab Group
The Scrollable property enables scrolling within
a tab that has components outside its borders. To use scrolling, the figure must be
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, where the first three lie outside the upper border of the tab.
fig = uifigure; tg = uitabgroup(fig,'Position',[20 20 196 145]); t = uitab(tg,'Title','Member Informaion'); 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','Addess'); 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 bar displays at the top.
t.Scrollable = 'on';
