Tabs

[MarcusRigs]

Hello,

Tabs work as in the sample UIPlayground scene, however it seems there is no behavior for the "Active" tab to remain a different color (or sprite, border, visual state) and be reset to default when another tab becomes active/clicked on. I tried implementing this myself but couldn't figure it out. Might be helpful to include a TabButton component aside from the Button to contain this specific functionality by default.

Figured this out by writing a new TabButton element and having it handle clicks, hovers, etc instead of its Visuals class, but would still probably be a good idea to include this with the asset by default.

I was watching Game Dev Guide's tutorials on how to create a custom tab system and wished Nova had something similar. I converted this code to work with Nova, but still... It's worth noting Nova has a sample project with tabs, but it's pretty coupled. They also have the XR sample with the wrist menu, which is also a tab system, but again, way too coupled.

It also seems that if they add the Selected state to their buttons, it would make it pretty easy to create a Button Group (where only one button can be selected at a time, like a radio button group). Then, creating tabs with that would be pretty straightforward!
