Create Tabs and TabPanels Dynamically.

I have a requirement where i need to create a page having many tabs as well as tabPanels. The number of tabs to be displayed is decided at run time. i tried using tabPanel inside repeat but it renders tabPanels again and again but not the tabs. Is there any way to do this using visualforce?

 

for eg: say i have three tabPanels:

 

tabPanel 1 :

 

tab1 tab2 tab3

this contains three tabs(say)

 

tabPanel 2 :

tab 1 tab 2

this contains two tabs(say)

 

etc.

 

again when next time i render the page, tabPanel 1 may have 4 tabs and also the page may have an added, tabPanel with multiple tabs.

 

 

Any Suggestion will be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

  Have you tried <apex:repeat/> component?  You just need to hold the count of number of tabs and tabpanels in controller, refer them in specific <apex:repeat/> component and refresh the page (possibly ajax kind of refresh) .

<apex:page controller="CampfireChatCon" sidebar="false">

<apex:tabpanel id="tabpanelROOM" switchType="client">
	<apex:tab label="test">
		test content
	</apex:tab>
	<apex:repeat id="repeattabs" var="t" value="{!RoomsList}">
		<apex:tab label="{!t.name}" >
		     TODO: Add Content for the tab
		</apex:tab>
	</apex:repeat>
	</apex:tabpanel>
</apex:page>

 

 

this definitely doesn't (but should) work

 

the test tab renders, but not the other ones, of which in my testing should be 6 tabs.

This still does not work. It would be great to be able to do the following:

 

<apex:tabPanel>
    <apex:repeat>
        <apex:tab>
            content
        </apex:tab>
    </apex:repeat>
</apex:tabPanel>

Any comments from Salesforce on this?

 

Thanks!

Hi, 

 

You can go through this by using dynamic components.

here is an idea for SFDC to support apex:tab inside of apex:repeat:

i just read that we can't place apex:repeat tag as a direct child of apex:tabPanel
