Constructor Detail

CTabItem

public CTabItem(CTabFolder parent,
                int style)
Constructs a new instance of this class given its parent (which must be a CTabFolder) and a style value describing its behavior and appearance. The item is added to the end of the items maintained by its parent.

The style value is either one of the style constants defined in class SWT which is applicable to instances of this class, or must be built by bitwise OR'ing together (that is, using the int "|" operator) two or more of those SWT style constants. The class description lists the style constants that are applicable to the class. Style bits are also inherited from superclasses.

Parameters:
parent - a CTabFolder which will be the parent of the new instance (cannot be null)
style - the style of control to construct
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException -
SWTException -

Method Detail

dispose

public void dispose()
Description copied from class: Widget
Disposes of the operating system resources associated with the receiver and all its descendents.
