# TabBar

> The accessibility node behaves like an ordered list of tabs.

## Definition

* **Type:** Field
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine.Accessibility](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/accessibility.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.AccessibilityModule

```csharp
TabBar = 7
```

### Remarks

Tab bar nodes are specialized container nodes. See [AccessibilityRole.Container](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/accessibility/accessibilityrole/container.md) for platform-specific screen reader behavior that is common to both container and tab bar nodes.

**Platform behavior specific to this role**

* **Android**: This role does not affect the node's announcement but provides the screen reader with semantic information about the node.

* **iOS**: If this role is set on a node, the screen reader announces the node's children as "tabs". It also announces a tab's position in the tab bar and the total number of tabs in it.

* **macOS**: If this role is set on a node, the screen reader announces the node as a "tab group". If the node's children have [AccessibilityRole.TabButton](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/accessibility/accessibilityrole/tabbutton.md) set, the screen reader also announces their position in the tab bar and the total number of tabs in it.

* **Windows**: If this role is set on a node, the screen reader announces the node as a "tab".

For proper functionality, tab bar nodes must have a [\_label](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/accessibility/accessibilitynode/label.md) set, and their child nodes must have [AccessibilityRole.TabButton](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/accessibility/accessibilityrole/tabbutton.md) assigned.

Set [AccessibilityState.Selected](/engine/6000.6/script-reference/unityengine/accessibility/accessibilitystate/selected.md) on the child node representing the selected tab to inform the screen reader of which tab is currently selected.
