    Tab Panel

    Tab Drag & Drop

    This demo illustrates how you can allow end-users to reorder, add, and remove tabs within the DevExtreme TabPanel UI component.

    Reorder tabs

    Wrap the TabPanel into the Sortable UI component and set the following properties as needed:

    • filter
      Specify a CSS selector to indicate draggable items. This demo sets filter to .dx-tab.

    • itemOrientation
      Set this property to "horizontal". When a user drags a tab, remaining items move left and right to designate the drop target.

    • onReorder
      Implement this handler to synchronize the dataSource with reordered tabs.

    • moveItemOnDrop Set this property to true to update markup after a tab is dropped.

    Add or remove tabs

    This demo adds and removes tabs in the following two functions:

    • addButtonHandler - a click handler for the "Add Tab" button.
    • closeButtonHandler - a click handler for a tab's Close icon. The demo uses the itemTitleTemplate property to display this icon.

    Both handlers modify the TabPanel's dataSource.
