The scrollbar works for tab canvases as well as content canvases. Not sure what you mean by "remains inactive even the layout goes beyond the window".

Horizontal ScrollBar disables for Tab Canvas

Dear OTN Members,
I am developing a form with tab canvases.
If I set Horizontal Scroll Bar property to true, it comes as
disabled during the execution of the form. I am only able to
move to the rest of the items through keyboard.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
not directly. However, if - at runtime - you overlay parts of the tab canvas with a stacked canvas, then you could have this showing a horizontal scroll bar. All you tab canvas content need to be on the stack canvas though.

Horizontal Scrollbar on Tab Canvas

Hello,
I have to show horizontal scrollbar on my tab canvas.
I have one Content canvas on this i hv 4 tab canvas with different datablocks. Need to show horizontal scrollbar as the number of fields are the more than tab canvas size.
Please assist.
Is there any other workaround, if it is not possible through any property??
Thank you in advance.

1) create a stack canvas and assign window to it
2) create your items on stack canvas
3) set the stack canvas view port width and height according to your visible area of TAB canvas (the size of canvas must be more than View port)
4) set its X and Y position according to the TABs
5) set show scroll bar to YES horizontally
6) set WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED trigger to show and hide canvases based on current tab selection.
Hope you got the idea

Scroll bar in tab canvas

hi guys

this is my prob i have a content canvas and a tab canvas in my window i have abt 20 col in my one of tab and i want to use a scroll bar in one tab how can i get it can any one help me urgent
ravi

Well, you are kind of out of luck: no horizontal scrollbar for tab canvases.
Still, here's what I did to solve this problem:
- I make a stacked canvas that would display above the tab-canvas, having an horizontal scrollbar
- on the when-tab-page-changed I write the code needed to get to show/hide the stacked canvas, depending on which tab activates.
It's not so simple, still this works.
If anyone has a better solution without using java beans or some other complications, I'd really like to know how.

Tab Canvas

Hi,
I am using Forms 10g. I have Content canvas named CANVAS1 display few items from BLK1. I created a tab canvas called TAB_CAN contains TAB_PAGE1 and TAB_PAGE2, display items from BLK2
I would like to show the form in enter query mode and Form should display both CANVAS1 and TAB_CAN
Content canvas only displayed if i write in when-new-form-instance
show_view('canvas1');
show_view('tab_can');
go_item('blk2.item1);
go_item('blk1.item1)
enter-query;
tab canvas only displayed if i write code like this in write in when-new-form-instance
show_view('canvas1');
show_view('tab_can');
go_item('blk1.item1)
go_item('blk2.item1);
enter-query;
So, I request you to write a code to display both canvases and control should be in contant canvas and form should be enter-query mode.
Regards,
Murali

Hello Murali,
As you are saying you want to show a Content canvas (Canvas1) and Tab Canvas (Tab_Can) both at the same time, you need to use more than one window for this.
Actually at any instant of time, you can show only one canvas on any window. So have two windows WINDOW 1 and WINDOW 2.
In Content canvas, set the window as WINDOW1, and in WINDOW1 set the primary canvas as CANVAS1. And, for tab canvas actually you should have another content canvas(CANVAS2) on which you have placed this Tab_Can. So in content canvas (CANVAS2), set the window as WINDOW2, and in WINDOW2 set the primary canvas as CANVAS2.
It will work i feel.

Forms 5 Tab Canvas & Horizontal Scrollbar

We are trying to implement a tab canvas which will hold a multi-record data block. The difficulty is that we would like to display a lot of fields and there is no Horizontal Scrollbar easily available for the Tab Canvas.
We are thinking about "simulating" a tab canvas by using stacked canvases. The stacked canvas allows us to have the scrollbar, but looses some of the look & feel of a tab canvas.
Anyone try to do this in Forms 5? How about anyone try to place a stacked canvas on top of a tab canvas?

We're using forms 6.0.8.8. Our standard practice is to never put items on a tab canvas, instead we put stacked canvas' on the tab canvas. Besides having canvas scroll bars, it also provides a basis to work around documented bugs for refreshing/resizing windows when returning from other forms/windows of different sizes etc.

Tab Canvas : 1 data block 2 different query for each tab) Forms 10g

-- When-New-Form-instance
IF :SYSTEM.Record_Status ='query' THEN
go_block('PLN_STOCK_TAKING_HEADER');
execute_query;
go_block('PLN_STOCK_TAKING_DETAIL');
execute_query;
go_block('PLN_STOCK_TAKING_DETAIL2');

Tabbed canvas. What is trigger for execute_query?

Hi!
I use tabbed canvas. When i choose Tab WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE
didn't triggered. I get data only when i click on any control
within canvas. How to do it automaticly?

I use this method (Forms6i patch4 - 6.0.8.13.0):
In a when-tab-page-changed trigger on form level there is:
IF :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE = 'CG$M_TAB_1_PAGE_1' THEN
GO_BLOCK('NAKLADY_UKAZ');
UROB_QUERY_UKAZ;
END IF;
In a when-new-block-instance on block level (NAKLADY_UKAZ)
there is:
BEGIN
UROB_QUERY_UKAZ;
END;
UROB_QUERY_UKAZ is a program unit in which I modify and set
where clause of block NAKLADY_UKAZ and use execute_query if
there are some changes in the where conditions. Instead of this
program unit you can use only EXECUTE_QUERY built-in.
I hope this will help you.

Forms 6i, Stacked & Tabbed Canvas- Wierd behaviour

Hi,
I am having a wierd problem:
Scenario:
I have a datablock of 40 columns.
I put 1 (say col-1 on page_1 and col-21 on page_2) column each on two different TAB pages.
I created 2 stacked canvases: page_1_stacked & page_2_stacked
I put col-2 to col-10 on page_1_stacked
and col-22 to col-40 on page_2_stacked
I used the following code to show/hide the appropriate cols/stack canvases when the users changes Tab pages:
[when-tab-page-changed
if (:system.tab_new_page ='PAGE_1')
     then
     show_view('PAGE_1_STACKED');
     hide_view(''PAGE_2_STACKED'');
elsif (:system.tab_new_page ='PAGE_2')
     then
     hide_view('PAGE_1_STACKED');
     show_view(''PAGE_2_STACKED'');
end if;
Problem:
Everything seems to work fine, the stacked canvases show/hide as expected, but --->as soon as I put my cursor in any column on TABBED PAGE (here col-1 or col-21), all the stacked canvases vanish
-->if as a result of above case where I put the cursor in a tabbed-page col and canvas vanished, I navigate to the next field (which is on canvas), the canvas shows up (which is normal)....but then this canvas wont get hidden with my hide view... and end up with all stacked canvases shown together or none at all
I have played around with all the properties and am really trapped.
Please help!
Thanks.

Devang, are you aware that if you put the cursor focus in a field, Forms will ignore any show_view or hide_view commands if they cause the cursor to disappear? And if your cursor focus is in a field in a stacked view, hide_view will not work. Forms will not let you hide or cover up what ever item is identified by :System.Cursor_Item.
I do not know why you need Col_1 or col_21 on the tab canvas. Put them on your stacked canvasses, too.
Use a when-new-item-instance block-level trigger to determine which tab page should be displayed. If :System.trigger_item = col_1 through col_20, make sure Page_1 is displayed, and for col_21 through col_40, make sure Page_2 is displayed.
Similarly, use a when-tab-page-changed trigger to move the cursor to the correct canvas. You wouldn't even need to use show_view or hide_view, Forms will do that for you each time you move into an item on either canvas.
And why are you using two canvases anyway? Since you are using a horizontal scrollbar, why not put them all on a single canvas? (And then you wouldn't need the tab pages.)

FRM-13002 : Stacked and Tab Canvas must be created within Content Canvas

Hi,
I have a Tab Canvas with 2 pages on it.
In one of the pages the data to be displayed will be
out of the region(size or length) of that page.
I read in this forum for the same problem, the
member had suggested to use a Stacked Canvas on that
Tab page alone and enable the scrollbars of the stacked canvas.
When I drag and drop a stacked canvas on a tab page
of the tab canvas I get the following error:
FRM-13002 : Stacked and Tab Canvas must be created
within content canvas.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am breaking my head over this.
I am still unable to solve this issue.
========The Requirement is as follows :===========
When I select a Tab Page of a Tab canvas, I get a
combo box with items in it. When I select an item from
the combo box, based on the item selected, I am
retrieveing the data from the database and displaying
it in that Tab Page itself. This data is in a matrix
format. i,e Has a number of rows and columns.
Without a Horizontal and a Vertical Toolbar attached
to the Tab Page I would be unable to view all the records
that are displayed on that Tab Page.
Any suggestions or examples is most welcome and
appreciated.
NOTE : ALso in what situations can we use a stacked
canvas, if the designer does not allow me to
use it with other canvases?.
Thanks in advance
Sharath.

Scrollbar on tab

How do I set a scrollbar for just one tab? I have 2 tabs, one requires a scrollbar and the other does not.But after setting the scrollbar properties it appears on both tabs.

Place the scrollbar on a stacked canvas, then show/hide the canvas. If you search the forum, you will find this topic discussed several times.
