Create TabFolder and add TabItem

SWT divides its tab implementation into two classes: TabFolder and TabItem. TabFolders, which aren't visible, contain TabItems. To create a tabbed interface, create a TabFolder with a Shell as its parent, and create TabItems as children of the TabFolder. import org.eclipse.swt.SWT; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Button; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TabFolder; import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TabItem; public class TabFolderTabItem {   public static void main(String[] args) {     Display display = new Display();     final Shell shell = new Shell(display);     final TabFolder tabFolder = new TabFolder(shell, SWT.BORDER);     for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {       TabItem item = new TabItem(tabFolder, SWT.NONE);       item.setText("TabItem " + i);       Button button = new Button(tabFolder, SWT.PUSH);       button.setText("Page " + i);       item.setControl(button);     }     tabFolder.pack();     shell.pack();     shell.open();     while (!shell.isDisposed()) {       if (!display.readAndDispatch())         display.sleep();     }     display.dispose();   } }
