|--EXAMPLE:
|-Start:
#Let's start.
#first we'll create the main tabwidget.
%Tabwidget=$new(tabwidget)
%Tabwidget->$setToolTip("Example of TabWidget class")
%Tabwidget->$setMargin(30)
%Tabwidget->$setTabPosition(Top)
#Now we'll create the new widgets and put they in to the main tabwidget.
%firsttab=$new(widget,%Tabwidget)
%secondtab=$new(widget,%Tabwidget)
#Now we'll create the item to put in to tab's pages.
%layoutfirsttab=$new(layout,%firsttab)
%labelbt=$new(label,%firsttab)
%labelbt->$settext(Botton Tab)
%labeltt=$new(label,%firsttab)
%labeltt->$settext(Top Tab)
%buttontb=$new(button,%firsttab)
%buttontb->$settext("To &Botton")
%buttontt=$new(button,%firsttab)
%buttontt->$settext("To &Top")
#Now we'll give a layout to all items.
%layoutfirsttab->$addwidget(%labelbt,0,0)
%layoutfirsttab->$addwidget(%labeltt,0,1)
%layoutfirsttab->$addwidget(%buttontb,1,0)
%layoutfirsttab->$addwidget(%buttontt,1,1)
#Add the page to the main tab.
%Tabwidget->$addTab(%firsttab,Top&Button,33)
#Implementing the action to do when the user click the buttons.
privateimpl(%buttontb,mousepressevent)
{
%Tabwidget->$setTabPosition(Bottom)
}
privateimpl(%buttontt,mousepressevent)
{
%Tabwidget->$setTabPosition(Top)
}
#We do the same work with the second tab's page.
%layoutsecondtab=$new(layout,%secondtab)
%labelwp=$new(label,%secondtab)
%labelwp->$settext("Enjoy the new Class provided by")
%layoutsecondtab->$addwidget(%labelwp,0,0)
%labelwp->$setalignment("Center")
%labelgen=$new(label,%secondtab)
%labelgen->$settext(Grifisx \& Noldor)
%labelgen->$setalignment("Center")
%layoutsecondtab->$addwidget(%labelgen,1,0)
%Tabwidget->$addTab(%secondtab,&About,50)
#Let's show our example.
%Tabwidget->$show()
|---End.

Signals

`$currentChange()`
This signal is emitted by the default implementation of $currentChangedEvent(). If you reimplement that function you will have to emit the signal manually (if you still need it).
