i will be much more thankful to you if you go through it and suggest or make it scrollable,

but then you don't learn it.

1. Put the ASSegmentedTab to a own form
2. add a xCustomListView under the ACToolBarLight
3. use xCustomListView instead of "ListView", i dont know, how to add a panel to a "ListView"
4. create a new panel
   1. Dim xpnl_seg_Tab_background As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
5. set a larger width than your ASSegmentedTab width is
   1. xpnl_seg_Tab_background.SetLayoutAnimated(0,0,0,Activity.Width*2,40dip)
6. load the form with the ASSegmentedTab to this panel
   1. xpnl_seg_Tab_background.LoadLayout("frm_seg_tab")
7. add this panel to your xCustomListView
   1. CustomListView1.Add(xpnl_seg_Tab_background,"")

For further questions, please make a new thread, I don't want this thread to be endless.

Thanks a lot
i will try your suggestion, and also i will start new thread if required

Thanks again

I have created new thread at following link

Update
1.04

• B4A and B4J - Corner Radius Fix
• Add DesignerProperty CornerRadiusBackground - changes the CornerRadius of the view
• Add DesignerProperty CornerRadiusSelectionPanel - changes the CornerRadius of the selector
• Add DesignerProperty PaddingSelectionPanel - set a distance from the corners for the selector

Corner Radius Old VS New:

'old way:
ASSegmentedTab2.Base.SetColorAndBorder(ASSegmentedTab2.Base.Color,0,0,10dip) 'make the view rounded
'new way:
ASSegmentedTab2.CornerRadiusBackground = 10dip 'make the view rounded

'old
ASSegmentedTab2.SelectionPanel.SetColorAndBorder(ASSegmentedTab2.SelectionPanel.Color,0,0,10dip)'makes the selector rounded
'new
ASSegmentedTab2.CornerRadiusSelectionPanel = 10dip'makes the selector round

PaddingSelectionPanel:

ASSegmentedTab1.PaddingSelectionPanel = 5

Result:

Examples:

ASSegmentedTab1.ShowSeperators = True 'Shows the seperators - or use the Designer Property
ASSegmentedTab1.SeperatorProperties.Width = 2dip 'the width of the seperators
ASSegmentedTab1.SeperatorProperties.Color = xui.Color_Red 'the color of the seperators
ASSegmentedTab1.UpdateSeperators 'commit the style changes

Does this fix the problem where selectedindex changes to selected-1 for some reason? I tried it a while ago and this was happening

Hi in AS SegmentedTab I have tested the option PaddingSelectionPanel = 5 and the result is correct.

The problem is that when the tab is changed the selection is not centred with the indicated margin.

Thanks for your great work on B4X

[adrianfreitas]

I would like to thank you for your great work and great contribution to the community. I would also like to ask if there is any way to use icon and text at the same time in the tab... I tried to simulate it in your example but without success. Thanks!

I just found your AS Tab Menu... thank you!

 

[jahswant]

I just found your AS Tab Menu... thank you!

You can also try this one :

[B4X] [XUI] AS TabMenuAdvanced

A container view controller that manages a multiselection interface, where the selection determines which child view controller to display. This view was developed and structured from scratch :) i spend a lot of time in creating views, some views i need by my self, but some views not and to...
