NAME

        clicktab.gadget--File folder tabs gadget.

SUPERCLASS

        gadgetclass

REQUIRES

        None.

DESCRIPTION

        The tabs gadget class provides a custom control that has imagry
similar in style to the tabs seen in a drawer full of file folders.
The action of the gadget is the same as a conventional
mutual-exclusion control in that only one tab can be active at a
time and a tab is selected by clicking upon it.
The purpose of the tabs gadget class is to provide functionality like
the page selection cycle gadget on the top-right side of the AmigaOS
2.1 PrinterPS preferences editor, but allowing all the choices to be
visible at the same time. The tab "bar" allows strumming across the
selections. The current selection is slightly raised and its text
label displayed in bold.

METHODS

        OM_NEW -- Create the button gadget.  Passed to superclass, then OM_SET.
OM_GET -- Get an object attribute. Passed to superclass for unknown
attributes.
OM_SET -- Set object attributes. Passed to superclass first.
OM_UPDATE -- Set object notification attributes. Passed to superclass
first.
OM_NOTIFY -- Sets taglist for notification and pass to superclass.
GM_DOMAIN -- Calculate imagery & positioning, and return
minimum/maximum domain size.
GM_RENDER -- Renders the gadget imagry. Overrides the superclass.
GM_HITTEST -- Determines if mouse is within the gadget rectangle.
Overrides the superclass.
GM_GOACTIVE -- Handles activation, toggle-select and button-select.
Overrides the superclass.
GM_GOINACTIVE -- Deactivates object. Overrides the superclass.
GM_HANDLEINPUT -- Handles selection input, RMB undo/abort, etc.
GM_KEYACTIVE -- Activates gadget via keyboard, selects appropriate
tab based on input key. Invoked by window.class only.
GM_KEYINACTIVE -- Deactivates gadget. Invoked by window.class only.
GM_HELPTEST -- Handles gadget help. When the mouse is over a tab,
the method returns GMR_HELPCODE along with the tabindex. Before
v45 GMR_HELPHIT was the only return value besides 0L, also
before v45 this method didn't return a reliabel result in all cases.
All other methods are passed to the superclass, including OM_DISPOSE.

GA_Height (LONG)

it is stylistically a bad thing to do.

and requires receiving GM_DOMAIN prior to the first GM_RENDER
in order to size & position its imagery correctly.
