# Adw TabView

since: 1

#### Description [src]

    final class Adw.TabView : Gtk.Widget
      implements Gtk.Accessible, Gtk.Buildable, Gtk.ConstraintTarget {
      /* No available fields */
    }

A dynamic tabbed container.

`AdwTabView` is a container which shows one child at a time. While it provides keyboard shortcuts for switching between pages, it does not provide a visible tab switcher and relies on external widgets for that, such as `AdwTabBar`, `AdwTabOverview` and `AdwTabButton`.

`AdwTabView` maintains a `AdwTabPage` object for each page, which holds additional per-page properties. You can obtain the `AdwTabPage` for a page with `adw_tab_view_get_page()`, and as the return value for `adw_tab_view_append()` and other functions for adding children.

`AdwTabView` only aims to be useful for dynamic tabs in multi-window document-based applications, such as web browsers, file managers, text editors or terminals. It does not aim to replace `GtkNotebook` for use cases such as tabbed dialogs.

As such, it does not support disabling page reordering or detaching.

`AdwTabView` adds a number of global page switching and reordering shortcuts. The `AdwTabView:shortcuts` property can be used to manage them.

See `AdwTabViewShortcuts` for the list of the available shortcuts. All of the shortcuts are enabled by default.

`adw_tab_view_add_shortcuts()` and `adw_tab_view_remove_shortcuts()` can be used to manage shortcuts in a convenient way, for example:

    adw_tab_view_remove_shortcuts (view, ADW_TAB_VIEW_SHORTCUT_CONTROL_HOME |
                                         ADW_TAB_VIEW_SHORTCUT_CONTROL_END);

## CSS nodes

`AdwTabView` has a main CSS node with the name `tabview`.

## Accessibility

`AdwTabView` uses the `GTK_ACCESSIBLE_ROLE_TAB_PANEL` for the tab pages which are the accessible parent objects of the child widgets.
