Did you ever figure this out? I'd like to dynamically add pages as well.

Hey there!

Sorry, it's currently not possible to do that dynamically :/
One thing I can think of, is maybe create all the tabs you need in advance, and at Awake/Start, you disable the TabItems you don't want to show for now (located under TabView/Tab Bar/Container/).
And when you want to add a new tab, instead of adding one, you just activate this TabItem, so it will look like a tab has been added.

Maybe this workaround can help you?

Forgive my ignorance, I haven't gone totally through all the code yet but in tabView you have your initialization script that does everything with the pages/items arrays.

Couldn't you push new items into those two arrays and re-initialize?

So.... No reply on here but thats the method I did. 

I created a simple reset function and added it on the tabView class:

        protected void resetTabs () {
            Component[] tabMarkers = gameObject.GetComponentsInChildren<TabItem>();
            foreach(Component comp in tabMarkers) {
                GameObject.Destroy(comp.gameObject);
            }
            m_TabItemTemplate.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        }

So all you have to do is add a tabPage element to the same container which is super easy. Then call that resetTabs function, then call Start() again which resets everything...

Sorry I missed your message...
Glad you find a solution!

Hey, is this the only function I need to add a tab page? What is TabItem?
