TabContainer
============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Container<class_Container>` **<** :ref:`Control<class_Control>` **<** :ref:`CanvasItem<class_CanvasItem>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A container that creates a tab for each child control, displaying only the active tab's control.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Arranges child controls into a tabbed view, creating a tab for each one. The active tab's corresponding control is made visible, while all other child controls are hidden. Ignores non-control children.

\ **Note:** The drawing of the clickable tabs is handled by this node; :ref:`TabBar<class_TabBar>` is not needed.

The :ref:`tab_focus<class_TabContainer_theme_style_tab_focus>` :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` is displayed *over* the base :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` of the selected tab, so a partially transparent :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` should be used to ensure the base :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` remains visible. A :ref:`StyleBox<class_StyleBox>` that represents an outline or an underline works well for this purpose. To disable the focus visual effect, assign a :ref:`StyleBoxEmpty<class_StyleBoxEmpty>` resource.
