Controlling navigation between tabs.

Hi all,
I have 5 tabs in a sequence in a tab strip control. The first tab is the main tab. The user has to enter data into this tab before he can proceed to anyother tab. My problem is that I have to navigate to a specific tab based on the data he enters on the main tab i.e. when the user selects a specific check box and presses the enter key, the system will navigate to that tab for data entry. Any help on how i can do this will be appreciated.
regards,
Hamza

hi
Store the tab name into tab control activetab field like mytabstrip-activetab = 'yourtabname'.if not working, use function code of tab.

Controlling navigation, preventing tab and scroll

I have a form (page size formatted for the screen) with Previous and Next buttons. And I have code attached to the Next button that prevents the user from going to the next page until all required fields have been entered.
However the user can still tab or scroll to the next page, bypassing the code. Is it possible to control the tabbing order so that when the last item on the page is reached, it tabs back to the first item on that same page (rather than jumping to the first item on the next page as it does now)?
And is it possible to turn off the scroll bar?

The only way I can think of would be to make all the successive pages invisible and make the next page visible only if the script on your Next button passes validation. If the validation fails, you can reset the focus to the first fillable field on the current page. I don't know of any way to disable the scroll bar for the form.

Module pool. error while navigating between tabs in tabstrip

Hi all,
in the module pool program, when i navigate from one tab to another it is giving me an error saying "Illegal value when compressing the screen". what might be the reason?
Thanks

Hi,
Check out the dimensions of the subscreen. May be its bigger than your subscreen area.

Tab control - takes long to change between tabs

Hi everyone,
I am using a tab control to display a set of results on each tab. So, I have a tab control with three tabs and each tab consists of 16 indicators which are updated with values. Now, when I run the program, it is taking a long time to switch between these tabs. For instance, if I am currently on Page 1 and then I click Page 2, it takes around 5 seconds to change the tab. I know this should be like this but I cannot understand what is happening.
I need help, please. I know it is a silly question but I cannot make heads or tails of it!
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would also recommend to streamline the code a little bit.
For example the cases in frame#1 differ only by some small operations. All that belongs inside the case is the code that differs. none of the local variable seems to be necessary. All that belongs in the smaller cases are the colorbox constants (might be easier to index into an array of colors). If you autoindex on the For loop boundary, you don't need to wire N and you can eliminate the "index array" operation.
In frame #2, you could autoindex on arrays of references, all in a single FOR loop (same for all the initializations).
You have race conditions. Initializing all the colors (to the right and left of the sequence structure) all occur in parallel to the sequence structure. You should create a data dependency to ensure things occur in a defined order.
You can probably eliminate all these hidden indicators and associated local variables. The wire is the data!

How to use REFNUM to communicate between Tab Control Indicator panel and subVI without explicit connections?

Hi! One of my test programs needs to show many readings on the fron panel. I used a 4 page Tab Control to separate
different catagory readings and put them in the clusters. If I connect these indicator clusters to the subVI by refnum explicitly, the program runs too slow. So I am trying to make the subVI communicate with the front panel without explicite refnum connection. So far, the subVI can communicate with the clusters on the front panel but not on the Tab Controls. Is anyone can give me some ideas how to communicate/pass the data to the clustes on the
Tab Control? Thanks,

Hi Qian,
If I understand the question correctly; you want to know if there is some other way to access the controls on the tab control without actually using a refnum from the VI that has the controls.
To answer this question I would say that LabVIEW is a very powerful programming language and one of the very cool features is that it gives you access to all the controls on a VI into another VI without actually passing any data between them.
The best way to do this would be using VI Server. The functions that you need to call would be Open VI reference to open a reference to your VI having all the controls. Then use a combination of Invoke nodes and Property node get access to the controls on the front panel of your VI.
Do let me know if you have further questions.

How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes

I'm working on example from this tutorial( Drag-and-Drop Feature in JavaFX Applications | JavaFX 2 Tutorials and Documentation ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far I managed to create this code but I need some help in order to finish the code.
Source
tabPane = new TabPane();
Tab tabA = new Tab();
   Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
            @Override
            public void handle(MouseEvent event)
                /* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
                System.out.println("onDragDetected");
                /* allow any transfer mode */
                Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
                /* put a string on dragboard */
                ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
                content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
                db.setContent(content);
                event.consume();
What is the proper way to insert the content of the tab as object? Into the tutorial simple text is transferred. How I must modify this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);?
And what is the proper way to insert the tab after I drag the tab:
Destination
tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
            @Override
            public void handle(DragEvent event)
                /* data dropped */
                /* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
                Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
                boolean success = false;
                if (db.hasString())
                    //tabPane.setText(db.getString());
                    Tab tabC = new Tab();
                    tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
                    success = true;
                /* let the source know whether the string was successfully
                 * transferred and used */
                event.setDropCompleted(success);
                event.consume();
I suppose that this transfer can be accomplished?
Ref javafx 2 - How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes - Stack Overflow

I would use a graphic (instead of text) for the Tabs and call setOnDragDetected on that graphic. That way you know which tab is being dragged. There's no nice way to put the Tab itself into the dragboard as it's not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you probably just want to store the tab currently being dragged in a property.
Here's a quick example; it just adds the tab to the end of the current tabs in the dropped pane. If you wanted to insert it into the nearest location to the actual drop you could probably iterate through the tabs and figure the coordinates of each tab's graphic, or something.

Why can't I use command+alt+arrows to switch between tabs correctly anymore?

I used to be able to use the method of command+alt+left or right arrows to switch between tabs. For example: I could be playing an online game, and be clicking things inside of the box on the screen that the game was on, use the method, and easily switch to another tab. Now, however, it doesn't let me switch between tabs unless i click outside of the game area.

Don't forget that there are many "pieces" to internet access that must all be set to make manual IP selection work, namely:
1) Your IP address
2) The addresses of your DNS servers
3) The default route via which packets leave your network ("router" in Network->TCP/IP)
4) Your subnet mask
As mentioned above you also need to assign an address from outside the DHCP pool that is on the same subnet, as at least some routers will refuse to route traffic that seems to originate from IP addresses that fall within the DHCP pool over which it has control if it did not yet assign that IP address to a client.

JTable's Cell navigation with TAB

Dear ALL
I have face one problem in JTable's cell navigation with TAB. The problem as describe bellow.
I have two columns NAME and ADDRESS. Set focus on ADDRESS column's first cell. now if i am press tab key then focus controll comes on second cell which is the ADDRESS column. At the end of row controll comes on first row second column that means focus on ADDRESS column's first cell.
Please give me some hints.
Thanks in advance.
Amit

Your description doesn't make any sense (to me at least) so I don't know what your problem is or what you are asking to be changed.
The normal tab order is Left to Right, Top to Bottom. So if the focus is at the top/left normal tabbing would be:
Row 0, Column 0 (name 0)
Row 0 Column 1 (address 0)
Row 1, Column0 (name 1)
Row 1, Column 1 (address 1)
Row 2, Column 0 (name 2)
Row 2, Column 1 (address 2)
Your question seems to imply that your tab from address to addreass, which doesn't make sense.
"Set focus on ADDRESS column's first cell. now if i am press tab key then focus controll comes on second cell which is the ADDRESS "

Large number of http posts navigating between forms

Hi,
i'm not really a forms person (well not since v3/4 running character mode on a mainframe!), so please be patient if I'm not providing the most useful information.
An oracle forms 10 system that I have fallen into supporting has to me very poor performance in doing simple things like navigating between forms/tabs.
Looking at the java console (Running Sun JRE 1.6.0_17), and turning on network tracing, I can see a much larger number of post requests than I would expect (I looked here first as initially we had an issue with every request going via a proxy server, and I wondered if we had lost the bypass proxy setting). Only a normal number of GETS though.
Moving to one particualr detail form from a master record is generating over 300 post requests - I'v confirmed this looking at the Apache logs on the server. This is the worst one I have found, but in general the application appears to be extremely 'chatty'
The only other system I work with which uses forms doesn't generate anything like these numbers of requests, which makes me think this isn't normal (As well as the fact this particular form is very slow to open)
This is a third party application, so i don't have access to the source unfortunately.
Is there anything we should look at in our setup, or is this likely to be an application coding issue? This app is a recent conversion from a forms 6 client server application (Which itself ran ok, at least this bit of the application did with no delays in navigation between screens).
I'm happy to go back to the supplier, but it might help if I can point them into some specific directions, plus i'd like to know what's going on too!
Regards,
Carl

Sounds odd. 300 Requests is by far too much. As it was a C/S application: did they do anything else except the recompile on 10g? Moving from C/S to 10g webforms seems to be easy as you just need to recompile but in fact it isn't. There are many things which didn't matter in a C/S environment but have disastrous effects once the form is deployed over the web. The synchronize built in for example. In C/S calls to synchronize wasn't that bad; But when you are using web deployed forms...each call to synchronize is a roundtrip. The usage of timers is also best kept on a low level in webforms for example.
A good starting point for the whole do's and dont's when moving forms to the web is the forms upgrade center:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/index-095046.html
If you don't have the source code available that's unfortune; but if you want to know what's happening behind the scenes there is the possibility to trace a forms session:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/tracing002.htm#i1035515
maybe this sheds some light upon what's going on.

Retaining values when navigating between subtabs

Hello everyone
I have a subtab region with 3 tabs in my page. I have some form fields in each tab, when I enter some details in tab1 and click tab2, and then come back to tab1 , my details previously entered in tab1 gets cleared. is there a way to retain these values when navigating between subtabs. all the tabs are based on different VO's
Thanks
Ravi

Here's how I do it...
(1) I always use Sessions. In the main form of my application, I set up the session and I store a single variable: Session.Exists = True. All other forms begin something like this: (It's actually an include-file.)
<cflock ...>
<cfset SessionExists = StructKeyExists(Session, "Exists")>
</cflock>
<cfif NOT SessionExists>
<cflocation ... send 'em back to the home 'cuz their session has expired>
<cfabort>
</cfif>
(2) Now that we know that a session exists, we store various structs in the Session to contain the default or current values that have been used in a particular form. If the Session scope does not contain a particular struct, it is automagically created with appropriate default values.) This becomes "what we display," and when we capture the user's responses, we store them there, even before we validate them. The session pool therefore becomes the vehicle for communication between the various forms.
(3) If we reach a point where a particular piece of information is no longer useful, we delete the appropriate structure from the Session, thereby wiping out the entire set of values at once.
(4) Structs and Arrays can, of course, contain other Structs and Arrays. You can build data structures of arbitrary complexity.
(5) As of late, I have found myself specifying individual CFCs for each logical "object" in my application. This is true object-oriented programming, as best as ordinary CFC techniques can do without plunging headlong into the underlying nether-world of Java. In those CFCs, I deliberately try to conceal just how information is maintained and stored, so that these necessary inter-dependencies within my application are concentrated in just one place. "The structure is 'the object,' and the methods are found 'here and only here.' "

LightSwitch HTML: Don't wait for active promise operations when navigating between screens

Navigation between screens is halted (and the loader is shown) until any active promise operation has completed.
This becomes an issue when a screen started a long loading operation, but the user wants to exit out of that screen. It is easy to cancel promise operations that I started myself, since I have control over when the operation completes. But I don't see any
way to do it for operations started by the framework itself (such as any collection property of a screen).
Is there any solution to this problem?

This becomes an issue when a screen started a long loading operation, but the user wants to exit out of that screen.
There isn't method available to cancel the navigation between screens, you need look into your project, and check why it takes long time to load.

Can a site use cookie info from separate Firefox windows, or just between tabs in the same window?

Hi!
I apologize for how crazy my question sounds,, (& for everything that follows), but I'm at a loss as to the correct wording...I hope my explanation will clarify things, at least enough so that someone understands what I'm trying to say! Wish me luck!
I'm using Firefox 37.0.1 on Windows 8.1 & everything is up to date. The most important details for this problem will be my settings & addons for Firefox, so here goes:
I allow all cookies, but it's set to clear them when Firefox closes.
I do NOT save any history or passwords & I also have "Click & Clean" enabled, & I use it frequently, even though I don't save any history or anything else, just to add to my security/privacy, (guess I didn't use it often enough, huh?)
I have the box checked for "Do Not Track", (but I just learned the hard way that even so-called "nice" companies don't honor this request)
I have "Ghostery" as well as "Google Analytics Opt-out" enabled, (even though I don't use Google for my search engine, nor do I go to a Google site unless it's absolutely necessary, (I read about Google's penchant for following users everywhere in order to get their preferences, so I avoid them if at all possible).
In other words, I thought I was protected from tracking-related problems, but I need to know if these precautions are effective when using Firefox & having several tabs open...then opening another tab/window...are cookies & any other info "readable", (I don't know what word should be used here), from tab to tab in the same window, (which just happened to me), & is the cookie info readable from window to window? In other words, do I have to completely close out Firefox, delete cookies, then open a brand new window so that any session cookie info has been deleted to protect my browsing info from being accessed?
I know, I'm STILL not making much sense...here's what happened, (I won't divulge the site that did the 'cookie abuse', though.
I had several tabs open, as I usually do, because I was gathering info for research on a report I was working on. Suddenly, I remembered I had to order my hubby's birthday gift, so I opened another tab, (in the same window), to my favorite site & started searching for the items I wanted. I found what I was looking for & was getting ready to check out when I noticed something very odd...there were several "suggestions" listed for items I "might be interested in, based on my browsing", but the funny thing was, I didn't search for anything related to these suggested items! Instead, they were related to items in the other tabs I had open. Scary, underhanded stuff, if you ask me! I always knew not to have banking/financial sites open while surfing, but the tabs I had open were from sites where I was getting research info for my report, so no red flags went up when I went to the site to place my order.
So I guess the question I need answered is...is cookie info accessible only between tabs in the same browser window OR is it even accessible from window to window? Did I make sense yet? I sure hope so, because this incident has me absolutely flapping around like a fish that's just been pulled out of the water & is just left on the deck! This obvious assault on my privacy has hit me like a punch in the stomach, because I thought this site was one I could trust...especially since I had "Do Not Track", "Google Analytics Opt-out" & "Ghostery" enabled!
I just don't know how to deal with this, but obviously, I need to know the rules so this NEVER happens again. Luckily, there wasn't any finance-related breach, but my sense of trust has taken a BIG blow.
If this made sense to anyone, please advise me on the rules of 'cookie abuse' so I don't EVER let this happen again!
Also, is cookie info able to be shared between browsers, e.g. use Firefox for more personal/sensitive browsing & Opera for research activity?
Any & all advice is desperately needed & gratefully accepted! I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to anyone else because it really takes the wind out of your trust bubble. I've never been as surprised & disappointed at a company as I am about this. So sad.
Oh well, learn something new every day...too bad I learned not to trust. :(
Thanks in advance for your help.
Nuts4Mutts :(
P.S. If you need anything clarified, just ask

Cookies are stored in a cookie jar and thus are shared among all open tabs and windows.
Only all Private Browsing mode tabs/windows use a separate cookie jar that is used for all PB mode tabs.
Note that session restore stores cookies of open tabs in the sessionstore.js file as part of stored session data.

Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!

Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!
Also, pop up blocker works for some time and then just stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to get it to work again. Help!

I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was to update Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but that didn't help it and I had the same problem.
Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called Tile Tabs 4.10 that I thought could feasibly creating this problem. So I went into my add-ons manager and disabled it, restarted Firefox and the tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the Tile Tabs extension is my favorite Firefox add-on and I use it almost every day for managing my web work tasks. I went to the add-on page for Tile Tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 didn't work properly on Mac OS, and to install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw they had a new, not-yet-reviewed version 4.11 that addressed the Mac OS problem, installed it, and everything seems to be working properly.
I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem, as I hadn't updated Firefox or the Tile Tabs extension recently. Also, obviously this might not address your problem, especially if you don't have that add-on installed and enabled. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it appears based on your post time, so its probably not coincidence.
But its worth a look, and you might want to check out other extensions if you don't have Tile Tabs that could be causing the problem.

Screen error while adding table control to existing tab in BP screen

Hi experts,
Requirement: Add new section with table control in existing tab in BP screen. Purpose of creating table control is to add or delete multiple entries etc.
To fill this requirement, we have created custom transaction with table control facility. When we run this transaction from SAP easy screen, we are able to add, delete and create multiple records to database.
We have configured this custom program and screen in BDT (views) and saved.
When we call BP transaction we are getting following error message.
"Screen ZMOD_TEST1 0100 must be an Include screen (screen error)".
We are not sure, the approach we have chosen is correct. Incase, any one of you come across this type of problem, please guide us to rectify.
Thanks in advance.
Venky

Venky,
If you are on CRM 4.0 or even 5.0, my approach to adding a table to business partner attributes would have been the following:
- Use EEWB to generate the table extension
- Modify the generated code/screens if what was generated did not meet you complete requirements
However going back to your original question, if you add new screens for the BDT, then they must be "subscreens". The screens you create for the BDT tool are always subscreens placed in a container by the BDT program.
So your options are one:
1. Convert your screen to a subscreen and if you have coded all the BDT event function modules correctly it should work
2. Use EEWB to generate a new extension and make adjustments as necessary.
Good luck,
Stephen

Navigation between different componets in IC Web Client for CRM 7.0

Once the user click save button in component ICCMP_BT_BUTTON I need to navigate to component ICCMP_BT_SVO that displays the Service Order Data and display the new Service Request that was created.
How can I do navigation between different componets in IC Web Client for CRM 7.0?
Thanks.

Hello,
You can find detailed presentations in the learning maps available on the SAP Service Marketplace http://service.sap.com/rkt-crm for release CRM 2006s, CRM 2007, or CRM 7.0. In case I didn't mention it before, Intent-Driven Interaction (IDI) was first introduced and is only available starting with CRM 2006s and above. In the Interaction Center area, there is a presentation called "Rule Based Automation and Guidance" which covers IDI. I'm not sure if you can access the URL directly, but just in case here it is: [https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001162852007E].
