How to disable dockable tabs?

Hello,

What is DockingFrames’ API for disabling dockables?

By disabling a dockable, I mean sort of graying-out the dockable tab, just like tabs are disabled in a JTabbedPane for instance (check attachment).

Thank you,
Shant

When using Common:

dockable.setEnabled( EnableableItem.TABS, false );```

Thank you Beni for the ultra-quick reply!

But I can’t find such method in AbstractCDockable (nor in CDockable)! There should be ‚setEnabled‘ in AbstractCDockable!? :confused:

Are you using the newest version? This API is only available since 1.1.1p7, which is less then a week old.

Oh! No, I was still using 1.1.1p6*

Nice! So this seems to be a new feature!? :slight_smile:
OK then, I’ll update my version and get back to you in case anything goes wrong.

Thank you Beni,
Shant

Yep, it is new. There is a chance that it does not yet work as intended…

Hi Beni,

Just doing:

AbstractCDockable dockable = ...
dockable.setEnabled( EnableableItem.TABS, false );

as you suggested, worked for me as intended (i.e. graying-out the dockable tab). So I didn’t have to use the other options in EnableableItem, nor DisablingStrategy.

Thank you,
Shant
