CGSPluginInterface* array (plugins)
MGSTabbedView* interface Array (local views owned by plugin).

How to use:

1. Call CreateTabGroupL() from the plugin's/view's DoActivate(). Providing an array of all the plugins/views which should be in the tab group including the plugin/view itself.

CreateTabGroupL(TUid, MGSTabbedViewOwner *)

IMPORT_C void	CreateTabGroupL	(	TUid	aActiveViewUid,
			MGSTabbedViewOwner *	aTabOwner
		)

This function is for views implementing MGSTabbedViewOwner. Such may be needed in case view needs to update its selected item according to tab selection.

Creates and adds a tab group to navipane. The number of visible tabs is 4 unless there are less tabbed views in which case the number of tabs equal the number of tabbed views.

Parameters

TUid aActiveViewUid	UID of the view whose tab should be activated when the tab group is added to the navi pane.
MGSTabbedViewOwner * aTabOwner	Reference to the owner of the tabbed views.

CreateTabGroupL(TUid, CArrayPtrFlat< CGSPluginInterface > *)

IMPORT_C void	CreateTabGroupL	(	TUid	aActiveViewUid,
			CArrayPtrFlat< CGSPluginInterface > *	aTabbedViews
		)

This function is for plugin implementation.

Creates and adds a tab group to navipane. The number of visible tabs is 4 unless there are less tabbed views in which case the number of tabs equal the number of tabbed views.

Parameters

TUid aActiveViewUid	UID of the view whose tab should be activated when the tab group is added to the navi pane.
CArrayPtrFlat< CGSPluginInterface > * aTabbedViews	References to the views which belong to the tab group.

CreateTabGroupL(TUid, CArrayPtrFlat< MGSTabbedView > *)

IMPORT_C void	CreateTabGroupL	(	TUid	aActiveViewUid,
			CArrayPtrFlat< MGSTabbedView > *	aTabbedViews
		)

This function is for local view implementation.

Creates and adds a tab group to navipane. The number of visible tabs is 4 unless there are less tabbed views in which case the number of tabs equal the number of tabbed views.

Parameters

TUid aActiveViewUid	UID of the view whose tab should be activated when the tab group is added to the navi pane.
