11g Forms Tab-Page Navigation

I am using Forms 11g on Solaris.
A main navigator form opens another form which has a content canvas, tab-page canvas and (3) stacked canvases.
The problem I am having is with tab-page navigation. CTRL+TAB ( next ) and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB ( previous )
As long as I do not initiate navigation from an item on a stacked canvas, navigation is as expected ( between tab pages only ).
However, navigating from an item within a stacked canvas causes navigation to the parent form.
Repeating the tab navigation keys from the parent form returns to the called form.
Note that both key-combinations simply toggle back and forth.
I have found no documentation on tab-page navigation so any help / insight is greatly appreciated !

Hi Soofi !
Changing block order in the called form does not affect the navigation between tab pages.
Note in my question that the resulting undesired navigation is to and from the calling form ( which only has one block ).
Navigation between items and blocks works as expected.
To reiterate -
     The only navigation that fails is when I attempt to CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to another tab page from within an item on a stacked canvas.
     Attempting this navigation results in moving the cursor focus to the calling form.
     Repeating the attempt from the calling form moves back to the called form.
     None of your methods mention navigation between forms .
Thanks for your interest.

Tab pages - Navigation Problem

Hi,
What key I should use, if I want to navigate to other blocks in the same tab page.
Thanks
KC
null

I had this same problem. I created a TAR on Metalink about it and Oracle's response to me was to see Note#1016812.4 "KEY-NXTBLK AND KEY-PRVBLK DO NOT FIRE ON TAB PAGE".
Basically, those triggers perform differently for tab pages.
Solution Description:
=====================
The KEY-NXTBLK and KEY-PRVBLK triggers are re-defined to mean "Next Tab Page" and "Previous Tab Page" when on a tab page.
However, you can put calls GO_ITEM or GO_BLOCK into a WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED
trigger instead of the KEY-NXTBLK and KEY-PRVBLK triggers. This way, when
Forms thinks you want to change tab pages, you can change blocks.
Solution Explanation:
=====================
The KEY-NXTBLK and KEY-PRVBLK triggers were redefined to be consistent
with the Microsoft standard for tab sheets.

Tab page navigation

Hello,
I am using Jdeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.1.0
I want to navigate between tab pages. In my form there are three tab pages. From the first tab page i want to go to other tab pages conditionally.
If user enters 2 into a text field and click on a button then cursor will go the 2nd tab page. If user enters 3 into a text field and click on a button then cursor will go the third tab page. Please help me.
Thanks

Hi,
tab pages have a a disclosed attribute in their showDetailItem component
http://adfui.us.oracle.com/projects/adf.faces/multiproject/adf-richclient-api/tagdoc/af_showDetailItem.html
If you use EL to reference a managed bean and then return true/false dependent on what the user typed into the field, then after partially refreshing the panelTab component, you should see the switch in the component tab

Tab Page Navigation Problem???

Hi All:
I am facing problem with tab page. when I save some record at the last tab then it moves towards its previous tab page. May be navigation becomes wrong.Record is saved. What would be the solution? Can anyody tell me. Thanks
Ali

Just two wonders...:
1) Are the blocks ordered in the Object Navigator ... as they appear in the tabs of your tab canvas...????
2) Is there in the 'save trigger' or in other place (which take place in the save process) a "go_item(<itemname_of_the_previous_tab>)" or "go_block(<block_resides_in_the_previous_tab>)"...????
Greetings....

Querying a Form/Tab Page Change/Applicaiton Items

Hi,
I have what I think should be a fairly simple thing to do but am struggling. I have an application item that is set when the user logs on. I have several tabs that open various reports/forms. All I want is that when the user clicks on one tab a form is opened but with a record queried back ready for update with the query being restricted with the value of the application item (application item contains primary key). I have tried setting the default value of the primary key to the application item but no luck. If I manually call the form with primary key column argument:value set in the url the record is queried fine, but you cannot set these items on a tab page change, any help greatly appreciated
Chris

Hello
For each form page you could
Define an unconditional before header page process or a before-header page computation
Set the page-item corresponding to the PK of the form's base table to have the value contained in the application item

Tab page navigating

Hi!
I have a canvas wich consist of four tab pages. Each tab page has a datablock. When the user clicks a tab, the cursor should be set in the datablock of the tab page. Any suggestions how to implement this?
My problem is that I have not found a function that returns the active(the one that is visible to the user) tab page.
Regards,
Morten

I think that you can use When-Tab-Page-Changed trigger on form level. In this trigger you can test :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE variable.
IF :SYSTEM.TAB_NEW_PAGE = ... THEN
GO_BLOCK(...);
END IF;

Forms personalisation - Vendor Form - How to Disable a Tab Page

Hi,
I am not a Forms 6i/9i programmer, although I have an appreciation of the concepts and can look at forms in Form builder. I have been looking at forms personalisation and have used it to execute plsql via the built in 'execute a procedure'. I can also see how to disable blocks, or items, but I haven;t managed to disable a form tab page i.e. On the vendor form there are tabs for GENERAL, CLASSIFICATION etc.
I have tried using the object type Tab Page, but the poplist doesn;t list any tab pages. Also if you choose Canvas, the list of Canvases appears but generates errors when you try and use the form (complaining of tab page ids).
I understand that to disable a tab page programatically, you would use SET_TAB_PAGE_PROPERTY i.e. in a forms trigger or in CUSTOM.pll
I would have thought Forms personalisation could do this.
Any ideas would be appreciated

I under

What you can do is hiding the tabs (see pic below) and force the active tab programmaticily
Hope this helps

Tab pages in forms v6i

I compile forms using v6i. The forms are made with v6 and they have 2 TAB PAGES with the same block and first page is visible but the second page is not navigable with mouse.
Why doesn't work ? These forms v6 are correct.
Thank you.

When you click on a tab, if the cursor is in an item on the first tab page, the second won't come up. You have to move the cursor when the tab page is activated. (I'm not sure, but I have patch 13 installed, and this does not seem to be a problem any more. However my associates with an older version do have your problem.)
I use a when-tab-page-changed form-level trigger:
-- When-Tab-Page-Changed form-level trigger
Declare
new_pg   varchar2(30) := :system.tab_new_page;
Begin
If new_pg <> get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,item_tab_page) then
-- cursor is on a different tab page. Need to navigate to an item
-- on the requested tab page.
    If new_pg = 'TAB2' then
      Go_item('B3.NAME');
    else -- TAB1 tab page
      Go_item('B1.KEY_NAME');
    end if;
end if;
End;

HI , Your Logic is okay.
What you have to do is,
Open your existing from
In Canvas - Create New canvas with Type 'TAB'
And Create Two Tap Page - A & B.
select existing each items in existing canvas and select main canvas and TAP page -A or B
Once completed you can run your form as like before without any coding changes,
Regarding your question for TAB trigger code, generally you do not need any code as it is auto select.. by mouse.

JSF Page Navigation from Tab to another page and back to tab

I have a Page with tabs and a button in each of those presenting a Table and "Create Button"
I would like to go to a new page and come back to the same active tab.

Can we tell page navigation to go activate a tab it came from?
