- a `qx.ui.container.SlideBar` which contains a tab for every Page and can be positioned on every side of the TabView.
- a `qx.ui.container.Stack` which contains the Pages which can be added and removed at runtime.

A Page contains widgets to be shown in a TabView and usually has a label and icon to identify it.
