I want to achieve something like this:
the left side is the tab list or menu list, and the right side is the detail page of this tab. When I select one of the tab, then the content on the right side will change. Since the contents of tabs are totally different, so I think maybe I should use different ViewControllers for different right-side pages, and something like a root controller for the tabs. But I don't know how exactly the app architecture should be, I want to have a simple example of that (maybe something like:
-TabController
-TabOneDetailViewController
-TabTwoDetailViewController)
Thanks.
In macOS this is named sidebar and not vertical tabs. There is an older sample code from Apple which shows you exactly how it should be implemented. https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/SidebarDemo/Introduction/Intro.html
To simplify it if you don't need the NSOutlineView functionality you could use NSTableView instead.
Have fun.

I am trying to create an interface similar to the app Instapaper. The works just like a navigation bar except its on the left hand side.
I'm having an issue creating this interface. Any ideas on how to do this type of interface. I was thinking of a window with a view controller split up with two different views.
Any ideas, suggestions, or even a tutorial?
Mine (in Instapaper) is just one big view controller with a sidebar view that toggles the contents of the larger view manually. It's not too bad in my case, since it can only have two states -- grid or browser -- that simply switch which data is shown in the grid/browser.
If you can require iOS 5 as the minimum, you can use some of the new child-view-controller mechanics, but I couldn't yet.

Im developing a tabbar application.
There are almost 7 tabs in this app.
Usuall when we add more than 5 tabs a "more button"will come and rest of options will come under that "More option".
But i found a very interesting app in app store and they are moving the tabbar to left and right(just like we do in scroll view) like in the image below.
How can i implement this.
Can anyone help me with this please.
Thanks in advance.
As far as I can see, it's 2 custom UIButtons placed over the tabBar that may programmatically rearrange the tab options on their IBActions. What makes me say that is that the highlighted area of the last tab is just normal, and the arrows does not seem as well placed as what Apple could have done by standard.
You can use custom tabBar, like InfiniTabBar, nice and functional.

I have a UITabBarController as my rootController with 8 UITabBarItems. and I want to show just 4 UITabBarItems in my screen. By default all my other tab bar items appear in a small tabBarItem called "More" and you can select the other 4. But I have seen some apps that implement a sliding UITabBarItems with a slide icon instead of a "More" icon.
How can I show just 4 at a moment, and I slide the TabBarItems, and so that I can select the other tab bar items ?
~ Something like this ~
And then I can slide to the next 4 sets by dragging
It would be helpful if someone could point me in the right direction.
There is a nifty little github project that could help you... check it out: https://github.com/iosdeveloper/InfiniTabBar
This is not currently a built-in option for UITabBarContoller.
One way to approach the problem is to add a UIGestureRecognizer to the tabBar.view, and programmatically adjust which 4 options are available on the screen. You can add an animation to make it smooth or have a little bounce as it slides.
iPhone users are usually very picky and attached to Apple's UI Guidelines. Although you can pass the Apple verification, you probably wont be able to pass users' (meaning bad reviews and ratings). So I recommend you to re-consider your tabbar structure and use "..." More instead of sliding it... You can always override stuff in code, but then they wont work smooth with InterfaceBuilder and in the end you will have more trouble than you'd expect.
If you have similar tab items merge them and use maybe a segmented control or something to visually distinguish them. Or use a central navigation screen in which you can put 9 maybe more icons in a grid...
The first solution to your problem may not always be the best way. Well, it is very rare actually...
You have to write a custom control for this.
I wrote one for showing a horizontal menu. You can probably modify that to fit your needs.

I have some data that can be organized in a matrix, so I display it as a Gtk::Notebook inside a Gtk::Notebook. The external Gtk::Notebook has tabs at the left and the internal Gtk::Notebook has tabs at the top. So it looks like this:
However, our customer would like it to be like this:
The important change being, that the tabs at the left should be below their current position by the height of one tab, so that the GUI looks more like a matrix.
Adding a dummy unclickable tab as the first tab on the left seems an easy solution, but it would have to be a blue tab like all non-selected tabs, and thus it wouldn't merge with the background (the colors are part of the approved design of the application, so they can't be changed).
I've read something about subclassing widgets and drawing them myself, but I don't know how I would begin to do that. I'll probably be reading about that in the meantime.
Any ideas on how to achieve this effect will be appreciated.
I have a project in which I need a way to display essentially a list of tabs, each with their own content pages, down the left side of the page. I'm using TabLayoutPanels elsewhere to good effect, but after looking at how they are constructed it seems like it would be quite a bit of work to undo Google's carefully constructed layout and get it to work in any other orientation than top-aligned.
This doesn't seem like it would be an uncommon layout, so does anyone know of a successful implementation of this kind of container?
Best you can do is use DeckPanel, and make your custom tab controls to switch visible widget in that DeckPanel.
