%% A TabPanel Example
% This example shows how to use tabs within a layout. It also shows how to
% use the TabPanel Callback property to update other GUI elements when the
% visible tab is changed.

%% Open the window
% Open a new figure window and remove the toolbar and menus
window = figure( 'Name', 'A TabPanel example', ...
    'MenuBar', 'none', ...
    'Toolbar', 'none', ...
    'NumberTitle', 'off' );

%% Create the layout
% The layout involves two panels side by side. This is done using a
% flexible horizontal box. The left-hand side is filled with a standard
% panel and the right-hand side with some tabs.
hbox = uiextras.HBoxFlex('Parent', window, 'Spacing', 3);
panel = uiextras.Panel( ...
    'Parent', hbox, ...
    'Padding', 5, ...
    'Title', 'Left' );
tabpanel = uiextras.TabPanel( 'Parent', ...
    hbox, ...
    'Padding', 0);

%% Add a list on the left
% Note that we link the callbacks from the list to the tab selection and
% the tab callback to the list such that they are kept in sync.
panellist = uicontrol( 'Style', 'list', ...
    'Parent', panel, ...
    'String', {'1', '2', '3'}, ...
    'BackgroundColor', 'w', ...
    'Callback', @(a,b) set( tabpanel, 'SelectedChild', get( a, 'Value' ) ) );
set( tabpanel, 'Callback', @(a,b) set( panellist, 'Value', b.SelectedChild ) );

%% Create some contents
% Each tab is filled with a list box showing some numbers
htab1 = uiextras.Panel( 'Parent', tabpanel, 'Padding', 5, 'Title', '1');
uicontrol( 'Style', 'listbox', 'Parent', htab1, ...
    'String', {'1', '1', '1'}, ...
    'BackgroundColor', 'w' );

htab2 = uiextras.Panel( 'Parent', tabpanel, 'Padding', 5, 'Title', '2');
uicontrol( 'Style', 'listbox', 'Parent', htab2, ...
    'String', {'2', '2', '2'}, ...
    'BackgroundColor', 'w' );

htab3 = uiextras.Panel( 'Parent', tabpanel, 'Padding', 5, 'Title', '3');
uicontrol( 'Style', 'listbox', 'Parent', htab3, ...
    'String', {'3', '3', '3'}, ...
    'BackgroundColor', 'w' );

%% Update the tab titles
tabpanel.TabNames = {'1', '2', '3'};

%% Show the first tab
tabpanel.SelectedChild = 1;
