BrowserTabGroup.update()

By Opera Software

From Opera 15 onward, Opera 11 & 12’s extension format is no longer supported, and instead, we’ve switched to Chromium’s extension model. Check out our new documentation for developing extensions for Opera 15 and higher and start building your own extensions.

Description:

The update() method provides a way to update the properties of a browser tab group.

Parameters:

• properties: The new properties to use for updating the tab group.

Syntax:

void update (BrowserTabGroupProperties properties)

Example:

The following example creates a button on the browser toolbar. When the button is clicked, a tab group is created containing two tabs. Then the new tab group is collapsed.

//
// The background process (e.g. index.html)
//

// Specify the properties of the button before creating it.
var UIItemProperties = {
  disabled: false,
  title: "Example extension",
  icon: "images/icon_18.png",
  onclick: function() {
    // Create two tabs with specified URLs
    var tab1 = opera.extension.tabs.create({url: 'http://www.reddit.com/'});
    var tab2 = opera.extension.tabs.create({url: 'http://www.digg.com/'});

    // Create a tab group containing the above two tabs
    var tabGroup = opera.extension.tabGroups.create([tab1, tab2]);

    // Collapse the new tab group
    tabGroup.update({collapsed: true});
  }
};

// Create the button and add it to the toolbar.
var button = opera.contexts.toolbar.createItem( UIItemProperties );
opera.contexts.toolbar.addItem(button);
