Forms Tab-Canvas, change TAB with alt +Number on keypad

I have a forms module with a tab page canvas.
Navigation from tab-page to tab-page is possible by using <alt>+"Number".
But changing the tab page wiht <alt>+"Number on the keypad "is not possible.
How can I manage this?

Good morning,
Here is an [url http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=00000520.html]ASCII Key Chart that I have used. It has the return codes for the 10-key pad among other keys. I have found it useful in several cases.
Good luck,
Don.

Tabbed Panels: Opening panel with panel number doesn't work with Spry Data

I have some data inside a TabbedPanelsContent div, and would
like to be able to open tabs using links, but it only seems to work
with static content.
Clicking on tabs themselves loads content correctly, whereas
clicking on links does nothing. I tried both - panel number and
panel ID - neither worked. What gives?
See code below.
<div spry:region="ds1">
<div class="TabbedPanels" id="tp1">
<ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Asset
Management</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab"
tabindex="0">Brokerage</li>
<li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Mutual
Funds</li>
</ul>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">
<p spry:repeat="ds1"
spry:test="'{@industry01}'.search(/^Asset Management/) !=
-1;">{ds1::client}</p>
</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">
<p spry:repeat="ds1"
spry:test="'{@industry02}'.search(/^Brokerage/) !=
-1;">{ds1::client}</p>
</div>
<div class="TabbedPanelsContent">
<p spry:repeat="ds1"
spry:test="'{@industry03}'.search(/^Mutual Funds/) !=

</div>
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var tp1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("tp1");

</div>
<a href="#" onclick="tp1.showPanel(0); return
false;">Asset Management</a>
<a href="#" onclick="tp1.showPanel(1); return
false;">Brokerage</a>
<a href="#" onclick="tp1.showPanel(2); return
false;">Mutual Funds</a>

Try to declare the variable out side of the region
<script> var tp1;</script>
<div spry region ... >
tab panel stuff
<script type="text/javascript">
tp1 = new Spry.Widget.TabbedPanels("tp1");
</script>

Tabbed canvas doesn't show up.

Hi,
I have a form that has some general information displayed at the top of the form and then a tabbed canvas underneath it with some more advanced information split up into different catagories.
The problem is then tabbed form does not show up unless I page down to change the block to one that is displayed in the tabbed canvas.
Any ideas???
TIA.

Ah that worked. Thanks alot.
Just for my own knowledge what does raise on entry do??? I'm guessing brings the canvas to the front of the screen so anything not directly on that canvas is hidden behind it???
This is the first time I've used a tabbed canvas so never had to use it before as I've only been working with forms for a couple of months.

Tab Canvas displaying Stacked Canvas at runtime disappears?

Hi,
I have 3 canvases that contain the following:
1) Content Canvas -- This contains the TREE item.
2) Tab Canvas -- A tab canvas with a single Tab Page
3) Stacked Canvas -- This is a Stack Canvas with a few
text items on it.
4) Single Window.
======At runtime the following actions occur: ==========
1) The Viewport of the stacked canvas is set to the
Viewport of the Tab Page on the Tab Canvas so that it
looks like the Tab Page has a vertical and horizontal
scrollbar with text items displayed.
2) A text item on the Stacked Canvas is in focus as soon
the as the form window is displayed.
===================Problem is : =====================
1) When I select a Node of the Tree Item, the Tab Canvas
automatically disappears(or becomes invisible) , as a
result the stacked canvas displayed within it at
runtime also becomes invisible. I am left with only
the Tree item being displayed.
=======================================================
PS : I have never experienced this problem with just the
content canvas and the Tab Canvas together.
Any soultion to this problem is most appreciated.
Thanks
Sharath

I am experiencing the exact same thing. The width of the tabs in the layout editor is varied depending on the length of the text. However, at run-time, the width of the tabs is fixed, causing the tabs to be wider than the window and a set of VCR buttons to appear in the upper right corner of the canvas. Personally, I think this is a Forms bug. Why would they intentionally let us set the width to variable at design-time only to force a fixed width at run-time?

Creating tab canvas inside another tab canvas

pleas help me solving the issue...
I want controlling code such that i can create tabpage canvas into another one.
second tab page of first tab canvas it should be visible.
regards
jai

As long as i know something like this is not possible.
But you can emulate it this way (for this example i will assume that you want the smaller tab-canvas placed on the second page of the bigger tab-canvas) :
1. create a tab-canvas
2. create a stacked-canvas with bevel=none
3. create a new tab-canvas and place it on your stacked-canvas
4. make the stacked-canvas invisible
5. through the trigger WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED make your stacked-canvas visible whenever you are on page 2 and invisible whenever you are on another page.
6. adjust the coordinates of your stacked-canvas so it will appear right above the bigger tab-canvas
Good luck with this

How do put a stack canvas inside the tab canvas

Hi all,
I have content canvas and tab canvas Now i want to put a stack canvas on the tab canvas .suppose tab canvas page are Page1,page2, page3 when i click the page1 then display the stack canvas 1,and when i click page2 then
display stack canvas 3 ..... so on. help me to find the solutions to this Issue
Thanks

You would use the when-tab-page-changed trigger to use hide_view and show_view commands to hide one stacked canvas and show another.
Just keep in mind that for a canvas to be displayed, the cursor must be in an item on that canvas, or at least in an item NOT covered by the canvas.

When New Tab Canvas/Page?

What is the best way to determine when you user has navigated to a new tab canvas/page when the navigation does not occur by clicking on the tab canvas's Tab? For instance, when the user clicks a button item that navigates to a different tab canvas/page I want to disable the tab canvas/page the user came from.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Form with Tab Canvas

Hi,
I've a form with 12 blocks. We are displaying the these twelve blocks in the tab canvases(Tab attachment Edge: Top). The problem with these tab canvas is user can see only the names of 4 tab canvases. Then he need to navigate using the scrollbar. But the user requirement is that he needs to see all the tabs above in multiple rows. i.e.., In the first row he needs 4 tabs and then in the next line he needs another 4 tabs etc. He do not want to change the Tab attachment Edge to Right/Left. I'm using Forms 6i version. Thanks in advance.

Hi Reena,
Create the content canvas. go to layout editor.
Go to View --> Stacked Views on the menu.
select the tab canvas and say ok.
Now go to Edit --> Select all. Deselect the new content canvas .
Move all these selected items on the tab canvas down so that you can have enough space on the top of content canvas.
Cheers.

How to change the number of tab in a Tab Canvas?

hello :)
any answers please ?

user9068133 - Posted: Nov 3, 2010 2:42 PM yes , it works very well on forms 10g, i know that is not a big problem but what can i do ! i have searched on google how to do that but i didn't find nothing .>
What exactly did you search for on Google? What is "that"?
Are you trying to add more tab pages to a Tabbed Canvas from the Forms Builder? If so, user13390506 is sort of right. Click on the "Canvases" node of the Object Navigator press the *<font color="green">green + </font>* button to add a new "Content" canvas to your form. Now you need to open the property pallet of the new canvas and change the "Canvas Type" property to "Tab." You will notice that the icon of the new canvas you created in the Object Navigator has changed. Click on the + node next to your new "Tab" canvas to reveal the "Tab Pages" node. Again, open this node (by clicking on the +) to reveal the individual tab pages. By default, Forms will create two tab pages. You can add a tab page in the "Tab Pages" node by clicking on the node and then clicking on the + button. To remove a tab page from the "Tab Pages" node, click on the tab page you want to remove and then click on the *<font color="red">red -</font>* (minus) button.
If you are trying to add a new tab page during the Form runtime - as I mentioned before - this is not possible.
Also, what is your Forms version?
Hope this helps,

Add Content Convas to a Form with Tab Canvas

Hi,
I have a From with the tab Canvas (with 3 tabs). I wanted to provide few buttons which are common to all the tabs.
How can i do it?
I know of one way that it can be done is to add the tab canvas to the content canvas and then put the buttons on the Content Canvas. I can't seem to add it(Content Canvas) to the existing form. I tried using a fresh form and then copying the existing tab canvas on to it, it doesn't work.
I don't want to recreate this tab canvas as I have lots of code that has been added to the tab pages.
Is there a way to solve my problem ?
Appreciating in Advance.
Reena

Hi Reena,
Create the content canvas. go to layout editor.
Go to View --> Stacked Views on the menu.
select the tab canvas and say ok.
Now go to Edit --> Select all. Deselect the new content canvas .
Move all these selected items on the tab canvas down so that you can have enough space on the top of content canvas.

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.)

Generating tab canvas pages with Headstart olb fails (CDG-01364)

I'm trying to generate a form (master + details), details on tab canvas pages.
When generating with qmsolb65.olb generation fails with error CDG-01364 (Available width on content canvas 2 (-199) less than minimum allowable width (450)).
When generating with standard Designer olb (Ofgstnd1.olb) generation succeeds.
Has anyone seen this behaviour and can provide me with a solution? Changing canvas tab properties in Headstart olb perhaps?
Designer 6.5 R4.1.1 , Design Editor 6.5.69.1.0 Production
Headstart 6.5, olb d.d. 03-08-2001
kind regards
Geert

We had the same problem.
We got around it by, each detail Module Component is set as 'NEW TAB CANVAS PAGE' and set all the SIZE properties (width,height,view width and view height) to the relevent values, again for each MC.
Hope this help..

Tab canvas + post-forms-commit + form_trigger_failure

Hi all,
There is a tab canvas with eight tab pages in my forms.
In the post-forms-commit form-level trigger there are controls based on some conditions before executing the processes. When the conditions in the controls are not met then a stop alert is shown and form_trigger_failure is raised. All of these actions , that is the alert and form_trigger_failure , are contained inside a procedure named affiche_erreur.
The problem is that after pressing the alert button then forms goes to the first tab page. And the focus is on a non-navigable button ! Very strange !
I trapped the form_trigger_failure exception in post-forms-commit , but untill now I do not find any way how to put the focus in a specific item.
So how to put the focus into a specific item or a specific tab page ?
Thank you very much indeed

Mark , the when-tab-page-changed trigger does not fire after I pressed the alert button although the focus goes always to the non-navigable button in the first tab-page. I wrote a pause statement at the beginning of the when-tab-page-changed trigger but there was no pause alert at runtime.
Finally I created a timer in the exception of the post-forms-commit trigger which catches the form_trigger_failure exception , and in the when-timer-expired trigger I wrote go_item.

Forms 6i - Highlight a tab page label (BOLD or coloring) in a tabbed canvas

Hi Sir,
I have an urgent requirement wherein I need to highlight a particular tab page header (label) either via
1. Making the tab page label BOLD
Or
2. Coloring that particular tab page.
OR
some other way.
Could anyone please help me on this.
Regards,
Kiran

No version of Oracle Forms allows you change these properties of a tabbed canvas. If you were using Forms 10g or higher, you would be able to use the Oracle Forms Look and Feel Project which is a set of JavaBeans created by Francois Degrelle and enables you the change many of the properties that Forms won't let you change. Unfortunately, you are stuck with what is available in Forms 6i.
