The Note Book Widget

View Class: NoteBookView
Spec Class: NoteBookViewSpec

The Note Book Widget is used to provide a multi-page controlled by a Tab Header Widget. The tab items can also be defined by using the Tab List Editor.

The Basics Section:

ID	Unique symbolic name (ID) of the note book. This ID can be used by the application to access the widget via `"builder>>componentAt:#ID"`.
Model	Aspect selector or binding for the selected label (and list of the labels) of the note book. It should return a `- String` instance (only for static behavior) `- ValueModel`* instance with a `String` instance `- SelectionInList` instance with a `Array` instance (and optional with an initial selection index) whereby `String` can also be replaced by a `Text` instance. The last model also provides the note book with a list. In this case, it is not necessary to define an extra aspect for the list.
List	Aspect selector or binding for holding the list of the labels of the note book. It should return a `- Array` instance (only for static behavior) `- List` instance `- ValueModel`* instance with a `Array` instance whereby the `Array` instance can also be replaced by an `OrderedCollection` instance or by a `SortedCollection` instance. They contain the items of the note book as `String` instances, `Text` instances, `LabelAndIcon` instances, or as `TabItem` instances (The Tab List Editor is able to create a resource method returning a list of `TabItem` instances).
Index	Turns on/off that the value holder of the selection (model) is provided by the current list index of the item. If not turned on, the item itself is set in the value holder.
Tab List Editor	Opens a Tab List Editor on the application class and the defined selector.
Canvas	The name of the selector sent to the application in order to get a view object to be placed into the note book.

The Details Section:

Font	Defines the font style of the note book. After selecting the check toggle the font style can be chosen by selecting one of the Family/Face/Style/Size buttons. If no font style is selected, the note book bar takes its default font style from the style sheet.
BG-Color	Defines the background color of the note book. After selecting the check toggle the background color can be chosen by selecting the desired colored button. If no color is selected, the note book takes its default background color from the style sheet.
Style	Defines the type of the border style of the tab item (Windows or Mac).
Orientation	Defines the side for the arrangement of the tab item (top, bottom, left, or right).
Level	Defines the width of the 3D-border. Positive values provide a raising, negative values provide a lowering of the note book.
One Tab Per Row	Turns on/off that only one tab item is drawn per row.
Fit Tabs To View	Turns on/off that the tab items are fitted to the width of the widget's view.
Can Tab	Turns on/off that the note book can be reached by tabbing.
Move Selected Row Down To View	Turns on/off that the row of the selected tab item is always moved down to the widget's view.
