Changing tabs order in the JTabbedPane (DnD)

Hi,
I have a JTabbePane with different tabs in it and I want to be able to drag one tab and insert between other two with the mouse. Kind of like you can reorder sheet tabs in MS Excel. Does any one have an idea how this behavior may be implemented?
Thanks a lot,
Ilya

Thanks for this idea. I misunderstood what you meant until Jeremy responded saying you were �right on the money�. I thought you meant that putting another plot in the array but making it transparent was going to help somehow, but now I understand that you mean plotting the �up front� data to a separate XY graph indicator which is transparent and overlaying the original XY graph. I may wind-up doing this. I�m just not excited about linking all the scaling info from one graph to the scaling of the transparent graph and creating the necessary event handling so that when the user scales one graph or changes the auto-scaling, the other graph�s scales gets updated, but perhaps it�s the only way. Thanks again for your input.

Changing tab order

I have created a generic form and then used it as the base for my custom forms. I had used radio buttons on one section and realized that is not the correct format so I changed them to check boxes. When I made the change it completely messed up the tab order even though all I did was change the format from radio to check box. Any ideas why this happened and how to prevent it? I have 90 custom applications that now have to be changed and fixing the tab order is taking forever. Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can rearrange the Tabbing Order through the Tab Order pallete. Did you try that?
Tab Order pallete can be opened from Window menu

Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?

Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form? Doesn't appear to be a property. I don't see a programmatic method. I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person
doesn't edit the field? No event would be fired.

Hi Jim,
>>Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?
I am afraid you could not. In Web applications, the tab order is set automatically and cannot be changed.
(From
https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Set-the-tab-order-for-controls-3d7f749c-5a53-42b2-bb0e-2323fa044e2e)
>> I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person doesn't edit the field? No event would be fired.
The goto method is a workaround, but it should be triggered by a specific event. What I can figure out is changing the order of the fields.
If this is a feature you want to include in future versions of Access Web app, please submit a feedback as the picture below:

Control Click to Change Tab Order

I know there are new ways to move the field names around to change form fields, but I miss the ability to change tab order by control clicking on the field. I like the new ones, but would like to have the old way also.

You can get the coordinates of the mouse "drop" relative to the scene in the onDragDropped handler with
event.getSceneX() and event.getSceneY().
You can get the location of the top left of a node relative to the scene with
private Point2D getSceneLocation(Node node) {
     if (node.getScene() == null) {
          return new Point2D(0,0);
     double x = 0 ;
     double y = 0 ;
     for (Node n = node ; n != null; n=n.getParent()) {
          Bounds boundsInParent = n.getBoundsInParent();
          x += boundsInParent.getMinX();
          y += boundsInParent.getMinY();
     return new Point2D(x, y);
(and you can get the other corners of the node simply by adding the width and/or height from node.getBoundsInLocal() to the result of that if you need.)
So if you ensure every tab has a graphic, you can iterate through the tabs and do something like
int dropIndex = 0 ;
for (Tab tab : tabPane.getTabs()) {
     Point2D tabLocationInScene = getSceneLocation(tab.getGraphic());
     if (tabLocationInScene.getX() > event.getSceneX()) {
          break ;
     } else {
          dropIndex++ ;
tabPane.getTabs().add(dropIndex, tabToBeAdded);
Ensuring every tab has a graphic probably just means setting the text to an empty string and setting the graphic to a Label containing the text; or I guess you could just use a zero width and height Rectangle, or some such.

How do you set Tab Order using the Articles window in CC?

I am in CC 9.2.
The work flow I described below was working but then I upgraded and alas no joy.
The instruction I found here seems to be obsolete for cc9.2. Tab order through the articles doesn't seem to work any longer.
Basically. I have a log form with 3 text columns and 3 checkbox columns.
I created the first group of fields.
I created the article as instructed.
I then stepped and repeated 10 times.
When exporting to an interactive PDF, its not flowing in the order that I listed them
As the other user stated "object/interactive/tab order" window is way to painful of a process. Can anyone help?

I guess this confirms. Adobe... it worked before... do I need to down version my files? Because I have over a hundred forms I need to create and manually having to set each text box is going to be a major time and budget issue.

Listening to changes in tab selection on the JTabbedPane

supposed that I want the program to do a certain action each time the user select another tab with the mouse - and an action which is accordingly to the new selected index (of the new selected tab)...

This is all you need to understand to get going --
-- the Component returned by the method getComponentAfter (...) will get the focus on pressing Tab
-- the Component returned by the method getComponentBefore (...) will get the focus on pressing Shift+Tab
-- the Component returned by the method getDefaultComponent (...) will get the focus when the parent panel is displayed
Try to understand this Really Bad Example, then apply what you have understood to the sample you downloaded, which uses a Vector to store a list of Components and returns the next/previous Component for get..Before and get..After, wrapping around from the last to the first element and vice versa; also returns the first/last element for getFirst... and getLast... and the first element for getDefault...
Run this code and navigate by Tab or Shift-Tab, then uncomment the line I marked and try again. You'll understand.package ashwin;

Changing tab order in Acrobat XI

Is there a way to get Acrobat XI to change the tab order by clicking the field like we did in older versions? I've had good luck using sort by row, but the form I'm working on now isn't sorting by row correctly.
Thanks for the help!!

Thanks Gilad. I'm getting used to the newer way of ordering tabs.

Control/change tab order

How does one control the tab order (the order in which controls are visited when the TAB key is pressed) in a JavaFX 1.3.1 application?
It isn't always the case that one wants the tab order to be the same order as used in the layout.

Thanks a lot for your help guys.
Let me explain a little bit more my problem, maybe you guys get a good way to do this.
Ok, I have a tab control with 4 tabs (Auto Mode, Manual Mode, Troubleshooting and Configuration) in that order. In the "Auto Mode and Manual Mode tabs I have a selector switch to select the operation mode (auto or manual). Now, when I have the switch in auto mode, the manual mode tab page is hidden, when I change the selector switch to manual mode the manual mode tab page is unhide, the auto mode tab page is hide and the manual mode tab page is automatically selected. This happens because my manual mode page is the second one and when the page before is hidden the next one get active. The problem came up when I change the switch back to manual mode. I want that the auto mode page unhide, the manual mode page hide and the auto mode page get active, but instead the page that came active is the troubleshooting page since this is the one after the manual mode page.
So, what I was planning to do was to rearrange the pages order when auto or manual mode are selected so that the second page be always the hidden one.
Maybe I confuse you guys more, but that'sthe idea. If something came out of your mind, I really appreciate the help.

Portfolio Item - Change tab order

Hello Everybody
I want to know how is possible to change the order of the Item tabs ?
For Example, If I want to display the tab "Phases and Decisions" in first position before the "Overview" one, what must I do for this result ?
Thanks for your help
Rémy

Hi,
I think you can do it in this path :
Transaction SE80 -->Package RPM_UI_WD -->Webynpro --> ApPlication Component -->RPM_ITEM_DETAILS_CFG --> Start configurator --> Change --> Component Configurator --> Variant RIH_CREATE --> here you can see the views and each view has a sequence Index.

Changing report order using the break order property

I am trying to allow the user to pick the order of the report's data. This has lead me to ask the following questions:
How can the break order property of a Database Column be set at runtime, specifically in the Before Report program unit??? (changing the order BY clause in the SQL query will not be sufficient because report builder enforces that at least one column�s break order in each Group, other than the lowest one, must be set at design time)
How can the order of the Database Columns in a Group be re-arranged at runtime, specifically in the Before Report program unit???
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Hi Kevin,
I don't think that the "Break Order" property can be set programmatically, so it may not be possible to expose it to the users. I think it can only be an enhancement request to the product.

Tab order of the JTable cell

Hello there:
I noticed on a JTable component, the default transversing order of the cells when pressing tab key is from left to right, row by row. Now if I want the order to be from top to bottom, column by column. How can I do it?
Thanks,

Change tab navigation keys in JTabbedPane

OK, what's the trick here?
I need to map a different pair of keys (replacing the default right/left keys) to manage tab selection in a JTabbedPane.
Anybody have some insight into this?

Well, as is so often the case after posting something, I found a discussion of a similiar issue with a JTable using a custom UI to manage keyboard assignments and this is working fine.
Except that now the selected tab color isn't getting set ...

Changing Tab order in a completed form without altering or moving fields here and there

Hi All,
I've made a complex questionairre and is almost complete. Now the problem is that when I converted this file from Word, many fields were automatically detected and their tab order/ numbering was set by Acrobat itself. The remaining fields in the form (at different places) were created by myself. Now in the tab ordering, the fields automatically detected have priority and the fields I created, are much different from the corresponding fields in tab numbering. For your understanding, I'm including the screenshot too. Please see the tab numbering in the image and after field # 7, there is field # 28, then field # 26, and then field # 29 which is not the way it should be.
Please advise any solution (if there is any) on your earliest convenience.
Thanks in anticipation!

Have you opened the "Pages" navigation panel and looked at the options for the page?
There should be a series of options like "Row", "Column" or "Unspecified". Select the "Row" and see if the form tabs the way you would like.

Changing tab focus with the keyboard

I've read about changing the tab focus from one page to another programmatically; however, I would like to have shortcut keys to change tabs (like many programs that use CTRL+Tab to change windows within the program).
I could use an event structure to capture keyboard button presses and then change the value of the tab control, but is there a more straightforward approach?
Thanks!
mlloyd

You can set all other controls not to be tabbed through and the tab control to have its pages tabbed through. That way, when you use tab, only the tab control's pages will be on the tabbing list. This, however, is probably less straightforward.
I'm not sure what's the problem with the method you outlined. In most cases, if you want something to happen, you will have to code it. This appeares to be one of those cases. You can make a subVI to do the tabbing for you, if you don't want to have to code all of it in your VI. Pass the reference of the tab control into the VI after you detect the event and use that to decide whether to increase or decrease the tab value. Be sure to cycle the number back to the first page when it reaches the end.
Try to take over the world!
