##### Create the Multi-Tab Chat UI:

Update your `lib/multi_tab_chat_ui_guid.dart` file with the following code:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Dart">
    ```dart theme={null}
    import 'package:cometchat_chat_uikit/cometchat_chat_uikit.dart';
    import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

    class MultiTabUIGuideExample extends StatefulWidget {
      const MultiTabUIGuideExample({super.key});

      @override
      State<MultiTabUIGuideExample> createState() => _MultiTabUIGuideExampleState();
    }

    class _MultiTabUIGuideExampleState extends State<MultiTabUIGuideExample> {

      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return DefaultTabController(
          length: 3,
          child: Scaffold(
            appBar: AppBar(
              title: const Text('Multi Tab UI Guide'),
              backgroundColor: Colors.white,
              leading: null,
              automaticallyImplyLeading: false,

                  Tab(icon: Icon(Icons.person), text: 'Users'),
                  Tab(icon: Icon(Icons.group), text: 'Groups'),

            ),
            body: const TabBarView(
              children: [
                CometChatConversationsWithMessages(
                    conversationsConfiguration: ConversationsConfiguration(

                        hideSearch: true
                    )
                ),
              ],
