JxqTags make tab invisible

[jqwidgetsdevParticipant]

Hi,

I see there is the ensureVisible method but no ensureInvisible method?

What is the preferred way to make a JqxTag invisible?

Example
this.$refs.myTabs.ensureInvisible(5);

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately, jqxTab does not have ensureInvisible.
If you need any additional help, feel free to ask!

Hi Svetoslav,

Is there is no way, can you please consider this a feature request?

Thank you.

Hi Svetoslav,

Meanwhile, if there is a hack I can try please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi,

If you want to do something hacky you can get the index of the tab which you want to be invisible and make visible another tab which is far from it.

Hi Svetoslav,

Well, I guess when you ask for a hack you really get one ;).

Maybe I don’t fully understand but what then is the added value of the this.$refs.myTabs.ensureVisible method?

Thanks.

[svetoslav_borislavovParticipant]

Hi,

This is not recommended way because the tab you want to show depends on the width of the tabs` container and the width of each tab.
For example, if you want to hide the tab with index 1 and the width of the container is too small you will show the last tab, but the tab you want to hide may be visible.
I do not recommend you to use this, but you can try and see if it will work.
I will raise a question about adding the ensureInvisible method.

Hi Svetoslav,

Yikes, yeah not recommended :(.

If at all possible adding the ensureInvisible method really is the only way to go.

Thank you.

[svetoslav_borislavovParticipant]

Hi Svetoslav,

Ok, thanks for your communication.

How will I know when the method is available?

Thanks again

Hi Svetoslav,

Rest assured I will be watching like a hawk :).

Best regards.

Hi Svetoslav,

Perhaps to say differently, what I am looking for is a property and method to hide and show specific jqxTabs.

Best regards.

[svetoslav_borislavovParticipant]

Hi,

Yes, I understood you want a method similar to ensureVisible. EnsureVisible will scroll if the selected tab is not visible. But you want a method that will scroll to any tab so to hide the selected tab. I told you that you can do it with some calculations. Try to do something because you should calculate depending on each tab’s width, the width of the tab’s container and the tabs count. This way you can choose to which tab to scroll
