I’m trying to use TabPage and TabContainer but I’m having problems understanding what is a peer and how I need to relate it with TabPage.
I’m able to add a TabPageContainer with Pages and add controls within a TabPage with the following piece of code, dc is a DialogControl and dm is the DialogControlModel
self.dc.createPeer(self.toolkit, None)
book: UnoControlTabPageContainerModel = dm.createInstance(
"com.sun.star.awt.tab.UnoControlTabPageContainerModel"
)
book.Name = "TabControl"
book.PositionX = "18"
book.PositionY = "15"
book.Width = 130
book.Height = 60
dm.insertByName("TabControl", book)
page_ad: UnoControlTabPageModel = book.createTabPage(1)
page_ad.Title = "🔧 Parameters"
book.insertByIndex(0, page_ad)
page_ui: UnoControlTabPageModel = book.createTabPage(2)
page_ui.Title = "👀 UI"
book.insertByIndex(1, page_ui)
Note that the first line is
self.dc.createPeer(self.toolkit, None)
If I don’t do this, I get the error
Traceback (most recent call last):

uno.com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException: No peer for tabpage container!
But when I do this, I loose NumericField Spinner controls. Is it needed to force a repaint ?
I initally have a sample that shows the increment/decrement for a Numeric Field like
But when I add the code for tabs, the NumericFields look now like
The full source code for the initial code is here
And with tabpagecontainer and tabpage is here
What I’m doing bad and how can it be fixed?
I’m running libreoffice 25.2 on Debian Forky with Python13. Thanks for hints and help.
