Signals

active_tab_rearranged ( int idx_to )

Emitted when the active tab is rearranged via mouse drag. See drag_to_rearrange_enabled.

tab_button_pressed ( int tab )

Emitted when a tab's right button is pressed. See set_tab_button_icon.

tab_changed ( int tab )

Emitted when switching to another tab.

tab_clicked ( int tab )

Emitted when a tab is clicked, even if it is the current tab.

tab_close_pressed ( int tab )

Emitted when a tab's close button is pressed.

Note: Tabs are not removed automatically once the close button is pressed, this behavior needs to be programmed manually. For example:

$TabBar.tab_close_pressed.connect($TabBar.remove_tab)

tab_hovered ( int tab )

Emitted when a tab is hovered by the mouse.

tab_rmb_clicked ( int tab )

Emitted when a tab is right-clicked. select_with_rmb must be enabled.

tab_selected ( int tab )

Emitted when a tab is selected via click or script, even if it is the current tab.

enum AlignmentMode:

AlignmentMode ALIGNMENT_LEFT = 0

Places tabs to the left.

AlignmentMode ALIGNMENT_CENTER = 1

Places tabs in the middle.

AlignmentMode ALIGNMENT_RIGHT = 2

Places tabs to the right.

AlignmentMode ALIGNMENT_MAX = 3

Represents the size of the AlignmentMode enum.

enum CloseButtonDisplayPolicy:

CloseButtonDisplayPolicy CLOSE_BUTTON_SHOW_NEVER = 0

Never show the close buttons.

CloseButtonDisplayPolicy CLOSE_BUTTON_SHOW_ACTIVE_ONLY = 1

Only show the close button on the currently active tab.

CloseButtonDisplayPolicy CLOSE_BUTTON_SHOW_ALWAYS = 2

CloseButtonDisplayPolicy CLOSE_BUTTON_MAX = 3

Represents the size of the CloseButtonDisplayPolicy enum.

Property Descriptions

bool clip_tabs = true

  • void set_clip_tabs ( bool value )

  • bool get_clip_tabs ( )

If true, tabs overflowing this node's width will be hidden, displaying two navigation buttons instead. Otherwise, this node's minimum size is updated so that all tabs are visible.

int current_tab = 0

  • void set_current_tab ( int value )

  • int get_current_tab ( )

Select tab at index tab_idx.

bool drag_to_rearrange_enabled = false

  • void set_drag_to_rearrange_enabled ( bool value )

  • bool get_drag_to_rearrange_enabled ( )

If true, tabs can be rearranged with mouse drag.

int max_tab_width = 0

  • void set_max_tab_width ( int value )

  • int get_max_tab_width ( )

Sets the maximum width which all tabs should be limited to. Unlimited if set to 0.

bool scroll_to_selected = true

  • void set_scroll_to_selected ( bool value )

  • bool get_scroll_to_selected ( )

If true, the tab offset will be changed to keep the the currently selected tab visible.

bool scrolling_enabled = true

  • void set_scrolling_enabled ( bool value )

  • bool get_scrolling_enabled ( )

if true, the mouse's scroll wheel can be used to navigate the scroll view.

bool select_with_rmb = false

  • void set_select_with_rmb ( bool value )

  • bool get_select_with_rmb ( )

If true, enables selecting a tab with the right mouse button.

AlignmentMode tab_alignment = 0

Sets the position at which tabs will be placed. See AlignmentMode for details.

CloseButtonDisplayPolicy tab_close_display_policy = 0

Sets when the close button will appear on the tabs. See CloseButtonDisplayPolicy for details.

int tab_count = 0

  • void set_tab_count ( int value )

  • int get_tab_count ( )

The number of tabs currently in the bar.

int tabs_rearrange_group = -1

  • void set_tabs_rearrange_group ( int value )

  • int get_tabs_rearrange_group ( )

TabBars with the same rearrange group ID will allow dragging the tabs between them. Enable drag with drag_to_rearrange_enabled.

Setting this to -1 will disable rearranging between TabBars.

Method Descriptions

void add_tab ( String title="", Texture2D icon=null )

Adds a new tab.

void clear_tabs ( )

Clears all tabs.

void ensure_tab_visible ( int idx )

Moves the scroll view to make the tab visible.

bool get_offset_buttons_visible ( ) const

Returns true if the offset buttons (the ones that appear when there's not enough space for all tabs) are visible.

int get_previous_tab ( ) const

Returns the previously active tab index.

Texture2D get_tab_button_icon ( int tab_idx ) const

Returns the Texture2D for the right button of the tab at index tab_idx or null if the button has no Texture2D.

Texture2D get_tab_icon ( int tab_idx ) const

Returns the Texture2D for the tab at index tab_idx or null if the tab has no Texture2D.

int get_tab_idx_at_point ( Vector2 point ) const

Returns the index of the tab at local coordinates point. Returns -1 if the point is outside the control boundaries or if there's no tab at the queried position.

String get_tab_language ( int tab_idx ) const

Returns tab title language code.

int get_tab_offset ( ) const

Returns the number of hidden tabs offsetted to the left.

Rect2 get_tab_rect ( int tab_idx ) const

Returns tab Rect2 with local position and size.

TextDirection get_tab_text_direction ( int tab_idx ) const

Returns tab title text base writing direction.

String get_tab_title ( int tab_idx ) const

Returns the title of the tab at index tab_idx.

bool is_tab_disabled ( int tab_idx ) const
