Tabs

Menu items are displayed as tab items. The content of the selected item is shown on the rest of the screen.

This is the default for iOS when using Flip Navigation Style.

Notes:

  • When generating for Android, the Tabs navigation is only present in the Main Object. There is no way to keep it in the platform.
  • In iOS, according to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, the Tab should only be used for the application's main navigation element. In GeneXus, the Menu will be shown as a List if it is not the application's main object to take this guideline into account.
