  • Edit Tab Order Bug??

    I've upgraded from CVI 8.1 to CVI 2010 a short while back, and while working on a project recently, I noticed that the Edit Tab Order functionality no longer seems to work properly.  I still have 8.1 installed on the same PC.  If I open an old project in 8.1 and edit tab order, everything works just fine.  I can set a value in the "Click to set" box and point to the control that I want to set and the value is applied.  However, if I do the same thing in CVI 2010, when clicking on a control that I want to set, the value is NOT set and the other control tab order values get all screwed up.  I've seen the issue on a 64bit Windows 7 Laptop as well as a 32bit Windows XP computer.
    Is this a known bug??  I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.  Should it be reported someplace else?   This essentially makes the Tab Order functionality useless, and is a bit frustrating on a panel with a large number of controls.
    Thanks!

    I figured out my issue, and it is actually consistent in both v8.1 and 2010.  The issue is that I have a Decoration Frame around a group of controls.  When previously testing in v8.1, I did not have a frame around the controls.  That's why it worked. 
    So... Once a frame was inserted (in either version of CVI), any controls that the frame surrounded could no longer be selected in the Edit Tab Order window.  Selecting ANYWHERE inside the frame only selects the frame tab order and NOT any control inside the frame.  After a little trial and error, I found that this was related to the Z-Plane order of the frame.  The frame is a bit misleading in that all the controls are clearly visible inside, but the frame still lies ON TOP of them.  Once I selected the frame and "Arrange>Control ZPlane Order>Move to Back", I could then edit the tab order of the interior controls as expected in the Edit Tab Order window.
    Sorry for any confusion.  Hopefully my little snafu might help someone else at some point in the future.

  • Setting tab order to form fields contained within a table, Indesign CS6

    I have created a form in ID CS6, and have put all the tabs in order so that people can easily navigate it when filling it in. However, all of the form fields that are contained within tables are not in order, and I can't find any way of putting them in order without changing them in acrobat after I have made the interactive PDF. This means that every time my client makes changes to the form I have to manually put all the fields in order again, which is time consuming. Is anyone able to help?

    This tab order dialogue box is nearly useless if you have a complex form with hundreds of form fields as there is no way to interact with the document when the dialogue is open and clicking on an entry in the list does not highlight the respective field. Furthermore, if you have arrays of radio buttons, or check boxes acting like radio buttons, ie all with the same form field name, there's no way to know which order they should be arranged in since they can't be selected or identified while this dialogue is open!
    That is immensely frustrating to say the least.
    It's quite ridiculous that Adobe hasn't fixed this bug in years and this user interface is shockingly bad.

  • Setting tab order in Acrobat 9

    This is the first time I'm trying to set the tab order in a PDF created in Acrobat 9. I am used to the previous versions where all you had to do was click through the fields to set their order, Adobe seems to have changed it to be much more cumbersome requiring you to drag the fields in the field list. I can see where this might be useful in certain cases, but I would like to still be able to edit the tab order the older way. For larger more complicated documents, it's just much easier to do it this way for me. Is this impossible in newer versions, or am I missing something?
    I tried opening the file in Acrobat 8 on another machine, and the 'Edit Tab Order' command is greyed out for this file, so I'm guessing that editing in 9 must change the file to make it incompatible to edit this way.
    If anyone has any insight on a way to easily edit the tab order in version 9, or to allow the file to be edited in version 8, I would be grateful for any assistance.

    Yes, I do have the Select Object tool active. (The 'Edit Fields' menu option doesn't show up unless that tool is active)
    I have tried to edit the PDF on my Mac and PC, and in both cases, all of the menu options under the 'Edit Fields' menu, including the option to set the tab order, are greyed out.
    I did a quick test and copied the fields into a new document, and the menu was available, so I may be able to get this working by opening a new copy of the original PDF and pasting the fields I have set up into that document. I hope this works, because my estimated time that I will spend rearranging the fields is about 25-30 seconds per field which would equate to about 1-1.5 hours of work just to set the Tab Order!! That's compared to about 2-3 minutes or so (at max 5 minutes). With all of the checkboxes, text fields and combo boxes, there are roughly 250 or so fields on this form.
    Thanks. If you have any other suggestions, let me know.

  • Tab order shows correctly, but doesn't work in PDF

    Does anyone else have the problem, or know how to solve it, where you go through and set up the tab order correctly numbers for each page, but then when you tab through the preview pdf or the saved pdf, it will jump between pages instead of going through the tab order you just setup?  I'm completely frustrated, as it seems to work with some perfectly, barely work with some, and sometimes if i take a working form and add even just one text box, it blows the entire tab order out.

    Thanks everybody.  I went through and checked the aligning of the hundreds of checkboxes i have.  I also had to end up giving names to some of my pages and
    subforms to help fix the issue.  honestly i can't tell what fixed it but i think a combination of all them helped.  maybe it was too confused with so many unnamed subforms, checkboxes, etc.
    I think it'd be a huge win for Adobe if for the next version they could just fix the bugs and try automating/making things easier.  it took forever to design this and with a high learning curve.

  • "Tab" control and Tab order of controls inside the tab

    Hello everybody,
    I have created the tab control with 6 'tabs', inside every tab I have some controls, like edit fields etc. I wanted to make an order of controls for every tab, so I have selected the option "Tab-order settings" from menu "Edit" (sorry for translation, I use non-English version of LabView), and tried to set the order. After saving it with "OK" button it turned out that the order is not changed. Simple it seems that the option doesn't work for controls in tabs. Is this a bug or do you have a solution for this?
    TIA,
    Yazilim.

    Sorry LabviewGuru, but I haven't found anything concerning Tab control and tab order inside it. Of course, I have found the topic "tabbing through front panel objects", but it simply describes how to change order for standard controls, not for controls which are inside the Tab control. But maybe you have another, extended help? So can you please copy and paste to discussion forum message this part of your help which concerns the Tab control and tab order, and then send the message?
    TIA,
    Yazilim.

  • Tab Order under Control Properties - Display Tab not working

    At present I'm trying to order a couple of Input-Fields and Checkboxes for the Tab-Key. Therefor I tried to use the "Tab Order" Property in the Control Properties - Display Tab - Section: Layout - Tab Order.
    In the SAP Library this property is described that way:
    When user tabs through the controls of the component in runtime, the number indicating what place this control has in the tab order. Note that -1 removes the control from the tab order entirely and 0 indicates that it is highlighted according to its appearance in the component
    Source: [Help.sap|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/c2ba7f545e3116e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm]
    The problem now is that VC is completely ignoring this property and just using the tab order in the way the (Input-) fields where created.
    At present I don't see any opportunity to give my "Form view" any logical tab order.
    Is there any workaround? Is it a bug? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi,
    It seems that this tab order works only for few of the controls like pushbutton, radio button, checkbox, toggle button...
    i too tried this in my model but it was not working for the input fields of other types.
    regarding -1 -2 ... these values work normally as per their values here -1 -2 order functions just like 2 1.
    hope this helps you.

    Rk.

  • Tab order lost in IE

    Hi,
    I have an editable table which includes LOVs and inputtext boxes. When I press tab and navigate to a particular row and particular component say an LOV. I press enter at the search icon and select a value in the popup. When the control/focus comes back to the table/page, its next tab order is missed and starts again from the first element in the DOM. Now I have to come again all the way from the first to get the next component in the order.
    I interestingly find this one only is IE browsers, while in Fire fox the control comes to the same LOV as soon as the the selection is made in the popup. Please do provide an solution since IE is the main targeted in mine.
    thanks & regards,
    Vijai

    Hi,
    appears that the tab key does not set the row as current on IE. So this is a focus problem which i would consider a bug if it reproduces. Can you provide a test case based on the Oracle HR schema for me to test and file a bug (unless you want to file a bug in which case you get feedback on the bug status through support)? If you want to send a testcase, zip it up and rename the zip extension to unzip. Then send me a mail (mail address in my OTN profile) with a pointer to this thread. If it reproduces for me I could file a bug.

  • ChoiceBox tab-order weirdness

    I have been having trouble with tab-order and ChoiceBox controls in JavaFX 1.3.1.
    Generally the tab-order of controls seems natural and logical: left-to-right top-to-bottom. ChoiceBox controls break that left-to-right rule and somehow promote themselves to the front of their row's tab-order, regardless of their horizontal position.
    For example:
    Stage {
        title: "Tab Order Weirdness"
        scene: Scene {
            width: 400
            height: 100
            content: [
                VBox{
                    content:[
                        TextBox{text: "Text Box 1"}
                        HBox{
                            content:[
                                TextBox{text: "Text Box 2.1"}                           
                                ChoiceBox{items: ["a","b","c"]}
                                TextBox{text: "Text Box 2.3"}
                                ChoiceBox{items: [1,2,3]}
                                TextBox{text: "Text Box 2.5"}
                        TextBox{text: "Text Box 3"}
    }Expected tab-order would be:
    <top row>TextBox <middle row>TextBox, ChoiceBox, TextBox, ChoiceBox, TextBox <last row> TextBox <loop back to top>
    Actual tab-order was:
    <top row>TextBox <middle row>ChoiceBox, ChoiceBox, TextBox, TextBox, TextBox <last row> TextBox <loop back to top>
    It doesn't seem to matter what method of positioning is used, specifying explicit layout gives the same problem as letting HBox or some other layout class do it.
    This is a bug right? Any ideas how to sidestep this issue short of redesigning my layout?

    It works for me. I have windows XP. Netbeans 6.9.1. Javafx 1.3.1
    Actual tab-order is:
    <top row>TextBox <middle row>TextBox, ChoiceBox, TextBox, ChoiceBox, TextBox <last row> TextBox <loop back to top>

  • TAB order suddenly changed in new message window

    One of my clients' TAB order for new messages is not working properly. Right now, after she writes the subject title and hits TAB, it DOES NOT tab to the message body, where it did last week (and how mine works) but TABS through all the items she has below the subject, such as the config drop-down, the from account and the signature drop-down.
    There is another post in this forum, but I couldn't find it again to reference and post to it. She said she hasn't installed anything or messed with any settings. She always seems to have these strange bugs happen. Anyway, I can replicate it or fix it in any way. I've tried repairing permissions, etc. but it still persists.
    If anyone has any info on what this could be, please post it. I would appreciate it very much.

    Go to System Preferences - Keyboard.
    On the very bottom, make sure that "All controls" is not selected. Choose "Text boxes and lists only".

  • Is Set Tab Order Broken in Acrobat 8.x Pro?

    I can't seem to get it to work. Even when the automatic tab order setting is done and it is numbered correctly, when I switch to Preview and also save/close/re-open in Preview, the tab order is what it was before. When I go to Edit Layout, the tab ordering numbering shows correctly for all fields, but back in Preview, it goes out of whack in the same way.

    Yes, I had already tried saving and even closing and re-opening. The Set Tab Order interface does not even operate in a fashion the user would expect. When replying to the alert question about automatic vs. manual setting of the interface, then randomly clicking fields, at one point the order stops changing once a field is selected. A text field becomes the LAST numerical field when it is selected, rather than starting at one and proceeding in ordinal fashion.
    I am convinced that this feature is bug-ridden based on my attempts to work with it and given the numerous posts "commenting" on this very feature.

  • Tabbing order in addInstance subforms

    Hello,
    I am trying to set my tabbing order in an addInstance subform. The tabbing works as I expect it to until the user adds an instance of the subform...and then those fields are not addressed until the entire form has been tabbed through.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to include these added subforms in the tabbing order either through LiveCycle or with some code?
    Thanks so much,
    Theresa

    For some reason Designer 8 has the tab order as references to incorrect next fields (correct if it was static, not for dynamic). For example label_equals on replacement subform is pointing to sqfttotal field in the totals subform, which is why any new instance of the repeating subform added is being skipped. The last focus field Button3 traverses to label_equals then to Text2 and then to sqfttotal. Since the middle 2 are non-fields, they are skipped.
    If you want to see where a field really points too in the source, open the XML Source Tab and click on label_equals in the hierarchy for example, you will see a block of xml which looks like
    <traversal>
        <traverse ref="Subform1[0].Text2[0]"/>
    </traversal>
    Not good. Tried moving the tab order around so that Button3 is the last object in the subform, but the binding stays in Designer 8. In Designer 9, when i move Button3 to be the last object, it correctly removes the tab binding and so fixes the issue. Im thinking that this is a bug at the moment, since i cant see any way through the UI to change the last tab focus of an object to be the correct one (once it has been set).
    However, we can can get around this:
    * Move Button3 in replacement to be the last object in the tab order of the repeating subform
    * When you addInstance of the new Subform, set the intial focus to be the first field
    * on Button3, add the following script to the initialise event to remove the bad tab binding
    this.resolveNode("traversal.#traverse").ref = "";
    You dont need Enter / Exit events to set the focus then

  • How do I get Meas. Studio controls to follow tab order?

    All of the standard MFC controls follow tab order but the NI controls do not. In particular I am usingg the CNi NumEdit controls. Once the user selects the control it is stuck in the control until they use the mouse to click in the next control.

    I am having this problem as well. I'm using visual C++ with windows 2000. My tab order works fine if I take out the NI number edits and replace them with standard Visual C++ edit boxes. However, when the NI number edits are in my program, they act like a black hole for the cursor. The only way to get out of one is by using the mouse. This is a problem because the technicians using my software don't use a mouse. I'm tempted to use standard VC++ edit boxes and convert the text to floating point decimal myself. Can anyone shed some light on this situation? I've checked the sample code, it doesn't seem to work either. Maybe its a windows 2000 bug?

  • How can I set the tab order of text box controls on each page of a tab control?

    I need to be able to select the tabbing order of individual controls on a single page of a tabbed control. How??

    In LV 6.1 an up you should be ablel to right click on the edge of the tab control when the tab-page in question is selected.
    The bttom selcetion in the pop-up is "Reoder controls in page..."
    selecting this option will switch editing modes to allow you to specify the ored, just like in a cluster.
    I seem to remeber in older versions you had to drag the tabable controls off the tab control, specify the tabbing oder and then drag them back on. The oldest version I have on this machine is 6.1 so that all I can speak for at the moment.
    I hope this helps,
