B4J Library [Custom View] Tabbed Bar (B4J only)

Hi guys,

Its been a while since I shared something here, so here goes my Tabbed Bar.
I created this for my own needs, and the objective is to be able to have a wider tab pane than the panes it point to...
Plus, it very easily and very highly customizable, as shown in the demo.

This is beta state, so please, any Bugs, comments or suggestions are welcomed.

[EDIT : A proper Library presentation]

TabbedBar v1.1

This is a CustomView designed to be used in B4J ONLY.
It has complete designer support, and can be Anchored just like any other view.

IMPORTANT!
Due to a limitation of the IDE, FontAwsome cannot be created from a Class converted to library.
So you need to add in you code:
Dim myFont as Font = FX.CreateFontAwsome(FontSize)
