TabView add item - labels/tabs not displayed

Could you show me the code snippet?

var tabset=[[CPTabView alloc] initWithFrame:CPRectMake(10,10,300,300)];

var item1=[[CPTabViewItem alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"0"];
[item1 setLabel:@"test"];
[tabset addTabViewItem:item1];
var item2=[[CPTabViewItem alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"1"];
[item2 setLabel:@"test2"];
[tabset addTabViewItem:item2];

[label setStringValue:[[tabset numberOfTabViewItems] stringValue]];

[contentView addSubview:tabset];
[contentView addSubview:label];

var tabset=[[CPTabView alloc] initWithFrame:CPRectMake(10,10,300,300)];

var item1=[[CPTabViewItem alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"0"];
[item1 setLabel:@"test"];
[tabset addTabViewItem:item1];
var item2=[[CPTabViewItem alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"1"];
[item2 setLabel:@"test2"];
[tabset addTabViewItem:item2];

[label setStringValue:[[tabset numberOfTabViewItems] stringValue]];

[contentView addSubview:tabset];
[contentView addSubview:label];

Ah yes it's because the tab view item doesn't have an associated view ([item setView:myView]). I will check whether the expected behavior should be to raise an internsalinconsistencyexception or to just show nothing in the tabview.

For right now though, if you just do [item setView:[[CPView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMakeZero()]]] it should work though.

I confirm this as well. To be on the safe side I checked on Safari and FireFox, and neither display anything. I looked through the source a bit, and couldn't find any trickery to force it to display the labels.

Could you try setting the tabViewType earlier, like right after you create the tab view itself. Not that this wouldn't be a bug, just trying to identify where the problem is.

Tried your suggestion, but isn't working for me. Here is my source:

-(void)setupTabView: (CPView)contentView {
  var bounds = [contentView bounds];
  var frame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(bounds)+75,
			 CGRectGetMinY(bounds)+100,
			 CGRectGetWidth(bounds)-150,
			 CGRectGetHeight(bounds)-200);
  tabView = [[CPTabView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
  [tabView setTabViewType:CPTopTabsBezelBorder];
  [tabView layoutSubviews];
  [tabView setAutoresizingMask: CPViewHeightSizable | CPViewWidthSizable];


  webSearchTabItem = [[CPTabViewItem alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"web"];
  imageSearchTabItem = [[CPTabViewItem alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"image"];
  newsSearchTabItem = [[CPTabViewItem alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"news"];

  webView = [[CPView alloc] initWithFrame:CPRectMakeZero()];
  imageView = [[CPView alloc] initWithFrame:CPRectMakeZero()];
  newsView = [[CPView alloc] initWithFrame:CPRectMakeZero()];

  [webSearchTabItem setLabel:@"Web"];
  [imageSearchTabItem setLabel:@"Image"];
  [newsSearchTabItem setLabel:@"News"];

  [webSearchTabItem setView:webView];
  [imageSearchTabItem setView:imageView];
  [newsSearchTabItem setView:newsView];

  [tabView addTabViewItem:webSearchTabItem];
  [tabView addTabViewItem:imageSearchTabItem];
  [tabView addTabViewItem:newsSearchTabItem];


  //[tabView _createBezelBorder];
  [contentView addSubview:tabView];
}

Sorry for formatting: http://dpaste.com/77487/ is formatted paste.

I've been able to narrow down the issue (and find a work around): if you add the tabView to its parent view before adding the tab items, then it works correctly (creates labels and displays the tabViewItem's view when the tab is selected).

However, if you add the tabViewItems before adding the tabView to the parentView, then it neither creates the labels nor displays the tabViewItem's view as appropriate.

Great reduction WIll, I think I should have a fix for this soon.
