NAME

XmAddTabGroup — a function that adds a Manager or a Primitive widget to the list of tab groups.

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Xm.h> void XmAddTabGroup (tab_group)
Widgettab_group;

DESCRIPTION

AddTabGroup adds a Manager or Primitive widget to the list of tab groups associated with a particular widget hierarchy.  Each instance of the List widget, each multiline Text edit widget, each OptionMenu widget, and each ScrollBar widget must be placed within their own tab group; do not place other widgets in these groups.  This allows the arrow keys to function in their normal fashion within these widgets. 

When using the keyboard to traverse through a widget hierarchy, Primitive or Manager widgets are grouped together into what are known as tab groups.  Any Manager or Primitive widget can be a tab group.  Within a tab group, move the focus to the next widget within the tab group by using the arrow keys.  To move to another tab group, enter the Tab, or <Shift>Tab. 

tab_groupSpecifies the Manager or Primitive widget ID.
