Enum Constant Details

FIXED

public static final TabPane.TabDragPolicy FIXED

The tabs remain fixed in their positions and cannot be dragged.

REORDER

public static final TabPane.TabDragPolicy REORDER

The tabs can be dragged to reorder them within the same TabPane. Users can perform the simple mouse press-drag-release gesture on a tab header to drag it to a new position. A tab can not be detached from its parent TabPane.

After a tab is reordered, the tabs list is permuted to reflect the updated order. A permutation change event is fired to indicate which tabs were reordered. This reordering is done after the mouse button is released. While a tab is being dragged, the list of tabs is unchanged.
