Hi

How can I change Background Color in code

Currently you cant. Cause change the back color needs the view to redraw itself to change color of all its components like the curve, circle button etc.

 

[sigster]

You have to set the color from designer.

Tapping quickly (~0.5s) between tabs often results in a tab icon not being drawn and hence a blank space being shown. I think it's because the icon drawing animation doesn't have time to complete before the next tab has been tapped.

You can use AHViewPager, Add multiple panels to that view pager. On click event of each tab of this menu just scroll to a page you want.

It's possible to change the Nº of Tabs by code, to create a dynamic menu in runtime?

Hi how can I set Badget to zero, if I add 0 then it disaper

WobbleMenu1.SetBadge(5,0,Colors.White,Colors.Blue)

WobbleMenu1.SetBadge(5,0,Colors.White,Colors.Blue)

I think 0 means no badge. Like in ios when an app has no (0) notification then it shows no badge. Like the notification icon of this forum shows a badge when there is a notification.

Though if you want to show 0 badge then open the b4xlib, import the bas file to your project, and remove the 0 input checking from the SetBadge method.

Its SUPER... I use it in one of my projects.!!
