Is there a way to show multiple lines on the default Tabbed Panel tabs? It has to be the stock, not Extlib, Tabbed Panel as this is for an 8.53 XPiNC application and having ExtLib installed cannot be guaranteed.
I need a way to show a title and below that some additional text also on the same tab. Putting on the same lines makes the tabs to wide, especially when I have four or five of them.
I would still go for the Dojo tabbed panel. The code is there even without Extlib. It is just a little more work si ce you have to sprinkle the html needed into your forms. There you have ultimate flexibility.

Sublime displays one panel at a time. Is there a way to cascade the panels on top of each other. For example when displaying the console, if I do super+f, the find panel should also display along with the console panel.
This is not possible; Sublime only wants to display a single panel at time and so the command that opens a panel implicitly closes any panel that might already be open first (at least logically).
This is part of the original design philosophy. As seen in the excerpt below, a desire to maximize space as much as possible is also one of the reasons why the find panel (for example) is a panel and not a Dialog or something else that would take up unnecessary space.
Unobtrusive, minimal chrome. The focus should be on the text, not fourteen different toolbars.
Don't obscure the text with dialogs.
Use the pixels you've got. Full screen, multi monitor and editing files side by side should all be possible.
When I use OpenView in Domino Designer, all the Views are presented in the Menu Bar. How can I make sure that only one view is presented and at the same time do not hide the other Views so I can use them to other Hotspot Button. Thank you.
The easiest is to create an outline with the views. You can organize the views in expandable groups, specify icons for each view, and much more.
You then create a page where you insert the outline, set the fonts and formatting, etc.
Finally you create a frameset and put the page with the navigation menu in one of the frames.
I created a simple template with all this several years ago, you can find it at http://blog.texasswede.com/free-application-templateframework-for-notes/
Download it and take a look at how it's done there.
I'm sure I am missing something straightforward and simple, but in xpages, using a tabbed panel, who do I get all the tabs to print when the users prints the page?
You can use a Dojo tab container (part of the extension library) instead of the standard tabbed panel. With the Dojo tab container the content of all tabs is loaded at once (in opposite to the standard tabbed panel, as Tim said), so you could do some CSS magic to make all tabs visible when printing.
Tim recommends building a separate XPage for printing, and I second that. Organize the content of the tabs in custom controls, create a new XPage for example with the suffix "_print" and include the custom controls in it without the tabbed panel. Then create a button, link or whatever in the first XPage which simple opens an XPage with the same name plus "_print" in a new window.
In the "_print" Xpage you can use a "window.print" after the page loads to open the print dialog automatically.
This technique has the advantage that you can style the printing exactly as needed. You can even control which content to include when printing by using the visible/rendered property and compute to render controls only when the current page name does not include "_print".
I am trying to have a horizontally scrolling table within a HTMLComponent as the tables can be wider than the width of the mobile phone and I don't want the user to have a wrapped table. I set setScrollableX(true) for HTMLTable, but I am having a lot of problems getting focus in and out of the different components. Any tips on how I would go about achieving this?
Focus in LWUIT is a mixed bag of issues and the HTML component inherits quite allot of them. The Browser demo available in LWUIT's SVN ( http://java.net/projects/lwuit/sources/svn/show ) has a feature that allows showing a "mouse pointer" within the browser window so you can avoid focus and just point at a cell.
I'm not sure if it was tested with side scrolling but its possibly the easiest approach to make this UI more usable.
I want to design own custom backstage view tab that has desing like standard tab FileNew.
How can I (and can I at all) use such tab elements like scrollable button set or large borderless button with text at bottom of one.
There are elements in the BackStage Tabs which are built-in and not available form the programming side. For example, all the individual controls on the Print Backstage Tab cannot be re-used by a developer. I'm afraid that we have the same problem with the File New Backstage. The previews are built-in. You can verify this if you look into the WordControls.xlsx file delivered with the Office 2010 Control-IDs download: There are no controls for the TabNew except for "GroupNewFormTemplates", "GroupNew2003Dialog" and "GroupNewFormPreview".
You can only re-use controls which are defined in the Ribbon Scheme, as Combobox, Edit Control, Button, and so on.
So to display your templates, you must use these default controls, or built something completely different.
