Analysis

Overview

Develop additional features defined in OPEN_BOOKS_TABBAR_R0, including:

• Navigation buttons when the tabbar is too short to display all tabs.
• Tabbar context menus.

Task requirements

• Create the context menu when right-clicked on a tab.
• Create additional menu items to the context menu when right-clicked on the tabbar area.
• Implement the Cascade and Tile functionality.
• Highlight active tab.
• Implement the navigation buttons and their appearance/disappearance.
• Left-click on a book's tab button should restore the book window if it had been minimized.

Task result

The result of this task is source code.

Implementation idea

• Navigation buttons - the funtionality should be similar to the tabbar navigation behaviour of most browsers (e.g. check IE6, Mozilla Firefox 3).
  • Each navigation button should be enabled if and only if there are tabs hidden (or partially visible) on its side of the tabbar.
  • On left/right navigation button left-click the tabs should be shifted in right/left direction with the length of the hidden tab which is about to be displayed (including the left and right margins).
  • After the shift operation the last tab on the right/left is allowed to be partially displayed. After that the desired behaviour is:
    • For the next shift operation in the opposite direction (left/right) the shift length should be the one of the hidden part of the tab (including the right/left margin).
    • If the partially displayed tab is clicked, a new shift operation should be initiated to display the whole tab.
• Tabbar context menus should be as specified in OPEN_BOOKS_TABBAR_R0 with the addition of "Tile Horizontally" and "Tile Vertically" menu items instead of the "Tile" item.

• Could you please add to this task that clicking a book's tab button should restore the book window? i.e. if the window is minimized, it should expand it, or restore the state. - sriggins
