A Tab element represents a single tab within a TabView. In a window or menu, you can use a tab to group related content.
To make it so a Tab can be closed, set the closable
property to true
. When a Tab is closable, a close icon appears on the Tab. If a user selects the close icon, the Tab closes.
You can add an icon to your Tab to make it more visually appealing. Icons can be image assets that exist in your project such as a Texture, Render Texture, Sprite, or Vector. For information on how to reference an image asset, refer to Assets.
Do one of the following to add an icon to a Tab with UI Builder:
To add an icon for a Tab with UXML, add the source of the image to the icon-image
attribute:
<ui:Tab name="Tab" text="Tab text" icon-image="/path/to/image-file.png" />
To add an icon for a Tab with C#, assign the image source to the iconImage
property:
Tab myTab = new Tab();
var TabIconImage = Resources.Load<Texture2D>("image-file");
myTab.text = "Tab text";
myTab.iconImage = TabIconImage;
The following UXML example creates a TabView with Tabs:
[!code-xml[(External/Resources/editor_resources/Assets/Editor Default Resources/UIPackageResources/Snippets/UXML/TabViewSnippet.uxml)]
The following C# example illustrates some of the customizable functionalities of the TabView and its Tabs:
[!code-cs[(Modules/UIElementsSamplesEditor/Snippets/TabViewSnippet.cs#sample)]
To try this example live in Unity, go to Window > UI Toolkit > Samples.
For more examples, refer to the following:
C# class: Tab
Namespace: UnityEngine.UIElements
Base class: VisualElement
This element has the following member attributes:
名称 | 类型 | 描述 |
---|---|---|
closeable |
boolean |
A property that adds the ability to close tabs. The default value is false . Set this value to true to allow the user to close tabs in the tab view. |
icon-image |
Object |
Sets the icon for the Tab’s header. |
label |
string |
Sets the label of the Tab’s header. |
This element inherits the following attributes from its base class:
名称 | 类型 | 描述 |
---|---|---|
focusable |
boolean |
True if the element can be focused. |
tabindex |
int |
An integer used to sort focusables in the focus ring. Must be greater than or equal to zero. |
This element also inherits the following attributes from VisualElement
:
名称 | 类型 | 描述 |
---|---|---|
content-container |
string |
Child elements are added to it, usually this is the same as the element itself. |
data-source |
Object |
Assigns a data source to this VisualElement which overrides any inherited data source. This data source is inherited by all children. |
data-source-path |
string |
Path from the data source to the value. |
name |
string |
The name of this VisualElement. Use this property to write USS selectors that target a specific element. The standard practice is to give an element a unique name. |
picking-mode |
UIElements.PickingMode |
Determines if this element can be pick during mouseEvents or IPanel.Pick queries. |
style |
string |
Reference to the style object of this element. Contains data computed from USS files or inline styles written to this object in C#. |
tooltip |
string |
Text to display inside an information box after the user hovers the element for a small amount of time. This is only supported in the Editor UI. |
usage-hints |
UIElements.UsageHints |
A combination of hint values that specify high-level intended usage patterns for the VisualElement . This property can only be set when the VisualElement is not yet part of a Panel . Once part of a Panel , this property becomes effectively read-only, and attempts to change it will throw an exception. The specification of proper UsageHints drives the system to make better decisions on how to process or accelerate certain operations based on the anticipated usage pattern. Note that those hints do not affect behavioral or visual results, but only affect the overall performance of the panel and the elements within. It’s advised to always consider specifying the proper UsageHints , but keep in mind that some UsageHints might be internally ignored under certain conditions (e.g. due to hardware limitations on the target platform). |
view-data-key |
string |
Used for view data persistence, such as tree expanded states, scroll position, or zoom level. This key is used to save and load the view data from the view data store. If you don’t set this key, the persistence is disabled for the associated VisualElement . For more information, refer to View data persistence. |

at every level of its hierarchy.
