TabStrip (SAP Library - Web Dynpro for ABAP)

TabStrip

The TabStrip UI element allows the display of a tab page. The user can toggle between several tab pages by selecting a specific tab. The same window is shared by all tab pages and used for displaying the content. The user can display the content of a tab by selecting a tab title.

If no selectedTab is specified in the table, or the tab specified in the selectedTab is not visible, the first visible tab is displayed instead.

This does not trigger the onSelect event, nor is the selectedTab property changed.

Example of the Visual Display

Note

To enable the development of accessible applications, the accessibilityDescription property is checked during the syntax check if the tooltip property is not set.
