Tab Properties
Tab properties specify properties that are available on any platform supported by Volt MX Iris, and assign platform-specific properties.

Actions
Actions define what happens when an event occurs. On a Tab widget, you can run an action when the following events occur:
- onInit: The action is triggered when the user navigates to the tab.
- onTouchStart: The action is triggered when the user touches the touch surface. This event occurs asynchronously.
- onTouchMove: The action is triggered when the touch moves on the touch surface continuously until movement ends. This event occurs asynchronously.
- onTouchEnd: The action is triggered when the user touch is released from the touch surface. This event occurs asynchronously.
For more information, see Add Actions.
Placement Inside a Widget
A Tab widget can only be placed inside a TabPane widget.
