## com.google.gwt.user.client.ui
Class TabPanel

    java.lang.Object
      com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.UIObject
          com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Widget
              com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Composite
                  com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.TabPanel

All Implemented Interfaces:
  HasAttachHandlers, HasBeforeSelectionHandlers<java.lang.Integer>, HasSelectionHandlers<java.lang.Integer>, HasHandlers, EventListener, HasAnimation, HasVisibility, HasWidgets, IndexedPanel, IndexedPanel.ForIsWidget, IsRenderable, IsWidget, SourcesTabEvents, TabListener, java.lang.Iterable<Widget>

Direct Known Subclasses:
  DecoratedTabPanel

    public class TabPanel

extends Composite
implements TabListener, SourcesTabEvents, HasWidgets, HasAnimation, IndexedPanel.ForIsWidget, HasBeforeSelectionHandlers<java.lang.Integer>, HasSelectionHandlers<java.lang.Integer>

A panel that represents a tabbed set of pages, each of which contains another widget. Its child widgets are shown as the user selects the various tabs associated with them. The tabs can contain arbitrary HTML.

This widget will only work in quirks mode. If your application is in Standards Mode, use `TabLayoutPanel` instead.

Note that this widget is not a panel per se, but rather a `Composite` that aggregates a `TabBar` and a `DeckPanel`. It does, however, implement `HasWidgets`.

### CSS Style Rules

- .gwt-TabPanel { the tab panel itself }
- .gwt-TabPanelBottom { the bottom section of the tab panel (the deck containing the widget) }

### Example

>     public class TabPanelExample implements EntryPoint {

>       public void onModuleLoad() {
>         // Create a tab panel with three tabs, each of which displays a different
>         // piece of text.
>         TabPanel tp = new TabPanel();
>         tp.add(new HTML("Foo"), "foo");
>         tp.add(new HTML("Bar"), "bar");
>         tp.add(new HTML("Baz"), "baz");

>         // Show the 'bar' tab initially.
>         tp.selectTab(1);

>         // Add it to the root panel.
>         RootPanel.get().add(tp);
>       }
>     }
