hide tabs in view stack

kilyas2007 Mar 5, 2008 10:19 AM

Is it possible to hide tabs specified in a view stack. In the following code:-

<mx:ViewStack id="viewstack1" width="100%" height="98%" horizontalCenter="0">

<mx:Canvas label="ERM" width="100%" height="100%" visible="false">
<mx:HDividedBox width="100%" height="100%">
<local:ErmCanvas width="100%" height="100%"/>
</mx:HDividedBox>
</mx:Canvas>
<local:eds label="Trading & Operations" width="100%" height="100%" visible="false"/>
<mx:Canvas label="Compliance" width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Label text="Please check back soon." fontFamily="Verdana" fontSize="24" color="#ffffff"/>
</mx:Canvas>
I have tried to use visibe="false" to hide certain items but it doesnt seem to be working. please advise.

</mx:ViewStack>

I know I was trying to hide things with visible = "false" and I had to add to that includeInLayout = "false"

AFAIK setting visible=false never supposed to work for the ViewStack/TabNavigator etc.
You have to remove the child from the component to "hide" it.

Yes, and ViewStack has no "Tabs". Unless you are using a navigator component that takes the ViewStack as a dataProvider? I never do that for this very reason, it it too inflexible.

Instead I use a separate dataProvider for the navigator component, and let that navigator control the ViewStack via selectedIndex.
