Class: CONTAINER

Documentation

Allow multiple components to share the same place. The container component serves to manage a set of components which share the same place in the UI. Of the components under the containers control only one (the current-component) is generally rendered. The container component class is generally used as the super class for navigatation components and tabbed-pane like components. Each contained component has a "label" associated with it which is used to retrieve a particular component and switch components. Labels are compared with container.label-test. The :contents inintarg, if provided, must be a list (tag . component).

Slots

• CONTENTS - An alist of (label . component) holding the controlled components.
• CURRENT-COMPONENT-NAME - The label of the current component.
• LABEL-TEST - Function used to compare two labels.
