Namespace: DevExpress.DashboardCommon

Assembly: DevExpress.Dashboard.v18.2.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public class TabContainerDashboardItem :
    DashboardItem

VB.NET

Public Class TabContainerDashboardItem
    Inherits DashboardItem

Remarks

A tab container is a dashboard item that stores tab pages.

You can create a tab container using a simple constructor and add tab pages to the TabPages collection. Dashboard items and groups are located within tab pages.

A tab container should be added to the Dashboard.Items collection.

A tab container cannot be placed in other dashboard item containers and its ParentContainer property is always null.

Tip

The default name of a newly created container is “tabContainerDashboardItem1”.

The following code determines whether a dashboard contains a tab container:

C#

TabContainerDashboardItem tabContainer = dashboard.Items.SingleOrDefault(i => i is TabContainerDashboardItem) as TabContainerDashboardItem;
if (tabContainer != null) {
//  ...
}

VB.NET

Dim tabContainer As TabContainerDashboardItem = TryCast(dashboard.Items.SingleOrDefault(Function(i) TypeOf i Is TabContainerDashboardItem), TabContainerDashboardItem)
If tabContainer IsNot Nothing Then
' ...
End If
