rich:tabPanel and dynamic tabs

[strannik]

Hi

I have rich:tabPanel with 20 dynamic tabs like shown below. Unfortunately only 16 tabs are shown and others are invisible.

I see that they are present in HTML but they are located outside of my component pane.

I don't see any slider to scroll to invisible tabs. How can I navigate to invisible tabs?

<rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">     
    <a4j:repeat var="bean" value="#{beans}">     
       <rich:tab>     
            <f:facet name="header">     
                <h:outputText value="#{bean.name}" />
            </f:facet>     
        </rich:tab>     
    </a4j:repeat>     
</rich:tabPanel>

RichFaces 4.3.4

Thanks.

the issue you are describing is currently tracked by:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11418

The issue mentions a workaround, you can try that.

Thank you, Brian.

Unfortunately I need a slider to navigate to the tabs that are not visible currently.

It seems that tabPanel misses that functionality

Correct.  While it doesn't help you solve your immediate problem, we will be re-implementing the tabPanel client side javascript in an upcoming RichFaces 5 alpha, and we will strongly consider this feature with that re-write.

Thank you, Brian.

PrimeFaces already has this feature.
