PatternTabStrip 
A PatternTabStrip consists of one or more PatternTabs into which you can insert one or more PatternContentAreas. This allows you to define various paddings within one PatternTab. You can assign a PatternExpandFunctionto implement the option of minimizing and closing the PatternTabStrip. You can also assign a menu.
The following UML class graphic illustrates the relationships between the base classes in connection with PatternTabStrip.
Description of UI Element Properties
● accessibilityDescription
When accessibility is activated, the assigned text is added to the tooltip. This description provides semantic details of the UI element and is only read by the screen reader if the user focuses the complete Ul element.

transparent |
No background color |
● handleHotkeys
Specifies whether this PatternTabStrip acts as a separate container for hotkeys. If this property is set to true then all hot keys defined by UI elements within this PatternTabStrip will be handled by this PatternTabStrip. This defines a new scope for hot keys. More information: Implementing Hot Keys
● hasContentConnector
Determines whether the PatternTabStrip has a content connector. This is a visualization between two PatternContainers to show that their content is connected.
