HIDING TABS IN 9I FORMS

I have a Tabbed form. Currently people choose which tab they want and then it's populated with the particular data from main form. I would like to hide the tabs and make push buttons to call the particular Tab and then hide it again when they push the submit button and go back to the main form. I've been trying several methods, none seem to be working for me. Any suggestions??
Thanks

Hi sushmita,
Thanks for ur reply.
The solution which you have given i have already tried but not working.
my requirement is like MGR or HR can initiate the process.
if only MGR intiates the process the solution which u have given will work.
but here i have a diff scenario.i have created separate process for HR also but im not able
to see that process on the process list.
so i have to use only one process and resolve this.whatever im writing validation is working
only when MGR initiates the process but fails when HR initiates.
Hope u got my point.any suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks,

Problem in Hiding the objects in Forms

Hi
I have a requirement to use a standard Adobe form & Interface. In which i need some fields should be binded with custom objects and some should objects needs to be hidden form the form based upon the condition. I did the logic for the Hidden part through the condition tab in the form. When i execute the form, some objects are not hidden. can i know how can we do it.
Moderator message: wrong forum, please have a look in the forum for "Adobe Interactive Forms".
Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Apr 8, 2011 10:54 AM

Hi there,
Please check whether the correct data is mentioned in the Properties, also check whether the operator is assigned to it. Check whether there is proper data is passed into the global data at its Interface.
I don't thing so, you are directly using the Standard form. for satisfying this requirement you might have created custom one.

Tab in Adobe forms

Hello,
Has anyone used Tabs in adobe forms to switch between windows/screens?
Is it possible?
Thanks,
Bala

Hmm interesting requirement ,
I have nt tried but i guess u can try implementing this scenario using subforms with row of buttons .
all the buttons can be placed in a subform (header subform).
The different UI can be placed in differnt subforms under this header subform.
Each subform will be controlled by a button .For the button fomcalc script can be used which makes the elements in the sunform visible and hidden .
design wud be :
button1 button2 button3
subform1 | subform2 | subform3 |
script will be as follows
event :initiaize
subform1.presence="visible"
subform2.presence="hidden"
subform3.presence="hidden"
onclick (for button2 in subform2)
subform2.presence ="visible"
I believe it would be a great experience to implement this.
Do let me knw the further update on this idea.

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;

I have a pdf registration form on my website. It has a link that take the user to a payment page within my website. They pay then submit the form. The link currently opens in the same browser tab as the form and the user thinks that is the submission,

I have a pdf registration form on my website. It has a link that take the user to a payment page within my website. They pay then submit the form. The link currently opens in the same browser tab as the form and the user thinks that is the submission, which it is not. I want my link to open into a new browser tab. How do I do that?

You can use the following JS code:
app.launchURL("http://www.example.com", true);

Tabbing through a form with multiple pages!!!!! FIX!!

Hi everyone, I have a fix for this tricky issue of tabbing through a form that has multiple pages.
1. You'll need to go to the "master page" and add as many pages as you have "body pages".
2. Click the Object Veiw Tab and set the Occurence of the page to Max 1 and click the box with the instruction Include In Page Numbering.
3. Do this for each page of the form that you have.
4. The tabbing now should move from the 1st to 2nd to however many pages you have Master and Body Pages for.
Glad I could figure this out! Goodluck!

Thanks for the reply. Since my post to this topic I discovered some things about tabbing. With out adding another master page but just keeping the one and making sure that it's occurance is set to a minimum of one and including master page in the numbering it will work as long as the order of fields in the hierarchy tab matches the order in the position of the fields.
I have a subForm that has a row of fields starting with a button then several text fields. I couldn't tab to the next page because the button was at the bottom of the hierarchy and it wasn't until I moved it to the top that I could finally tab to the next field on the next page. I also discovered that with a one page dynamic interactive form that has some expand able text fields in it and when the field expands so that any fields are pushed to a new second page tabbing seems to not work. In other words when I tab out of that field that is suppose to expand and a new page is added to the form the tabbing quits and in order for it to resume I have to click in a field and from then on it work even if it gets to where a third page and so forth is added. It is just when a one page (in my case) form turns into multiple pages for the first time.
Hope that makes sense.

How do I change the bahavior when I tab in a form? When I tab it moved down - I want it to go to the right.

I want to tab through a form in firefox from left to right. When I tab it tabs down. I am on a Max OS X. When I use Safari it works from left to right.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.tabfocus
Note: In OS X (as of 2005-01), if this preference is not explicitly set, the “Full Keyboard Access” setting in System Preferences will be honored. All builds before that date (e.g., Firefox 1.0.x) will ignore that setting.
This pref doesn't exist by default, so if you want to use it instead of the system settings then you need to create a new Integer pref with the name accessibility.tabfocus and set the value to what you want (7 is to tab through all the fields).

Hiding tabs runtime

Hello,
I have a project set up where books are shown as tabs in the header (assuming hidden is set to false). Now I'm implementing a scenario that should force the user to do certain things, and as such a set of tabs (all except the one that is currently active) should be hidden if a set of conditions are true.
In short: I want to set the hidden field of books to true/false in runtime.
So far, I thought I would solve it by using a Session Property Set and Visitor Entitlements:
- Created a Session Property Set in the datasync project with a boolean property named forceUpdate
- Added line to JSP code that would set that property via a form bean variable:
*<profile:setProperty propertySet="SessionPropertySet" propertyName="forceUpdate" value="${pageFlow.formBean.forceUpdate}"/>*
- Created a visitor role called force_update in the Portal Administration Console with a role expression condition referring to the forceUpdate property
- Added the force_update role to book in question
However, this is not working. I suspect it might be that the line in my JSP code is flawed. Also, this is rather cumbersome - is there any easier way of accomplishing this? I also tried using BookPresentationContext without any luck (return null).
Thanks,
Ola

I solved this using BookBackingContext - something like this:
BookBackingContext parent = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(ScopedServletUtils.getOuterRequest(request)).getParentBookBackingContext();
BookBackingContext book = parent.getBookBackingContextRecursive("book_label");
book.setHidden(true);
It worked. The key here was using the outer request instead of the default (scoped) one as well as retrieving the parent BookBackingContext before looking up the books that I wanted to hide.
I ended up having to do this both in my page flow as well as in my backing file's preRender() method. I had to do this for two reasons:
- The conditions for hiding books are found in my page flow's begin() method, which is executed after my backing file's preRender() method
- Only doing this in my begin() method was not sufficient as I cannot be sure it is called when the book/page is loaded (e.g. refresh), in which case the books are all visible again
Can I get away with calling my hide/show-method() in only one place here, either in my page flow or in my backing file?
Cheers,
Ola

How can different people work on different tabs of one form

Dear OTN Users,
We are developing Client-Server application using D2K tools.
We are using the new feature TAB of Forms 5.0 in our current
development.
We are currently have 10 or 12 tabs per form in our application
and we need different people to work on it during development.
How to over come the error of one's work overwriting other's work.
All of them will be working on different tabs.
Thanks in advance for you help
null

It's a really bad idea to have more than one person working on a
single Form at one time. However, if you must...
Try getting everything in the Form, except for your tabs,
working first. Then take 12 copies of your Form (one for each
tab) and give a copy to each of the 12 developers. Make sure
that they name any objects that they create uniquely: this
includes any blocks, procedures, tab canvases etc - nominate one
person as 'design master' and make sure that anyone clears any
new object names with the design master before creating them.
When they have finished developing and testing their code
individual for each of the single tab Forms, get someone to
create a thirteenth Form, and then merge in all the objects
created for the first tab. You can do this relatively easily by
opening two Forms at the same time, and dragging the items from
one Form to another.
If you're feeling really clever, and you will have lot of
maintenance to do on the Form, then you could reference the
objects rather than copy them: in this case you would need to
keep your 13 forms in perpetuity, but you could have parallel
maintenance going on. However you decide to do it, be sure that
you have a comprehensive test plan!
You will find that you may save some time in this way, but it
will take more man-hours (though less elapsed time) to develop
the Form in this way, than by having a single person develop the
whole Form.

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.

Complete loss of tab order in form

I received a MS Word document (2003) that I opened in my MS Word 2010 and saved as a .pdf document. I then opened the .pdf file in Acrobat Pro v 9.4.7 and used the Forms tools to create a fillable form. My tab order shows exactly as I want it to perform. I close the form.
I can open this form on my computer - using BOTH Adobe Acrobat Pro AND Adobe Reader 9 (v 9.4.7 also) and the form performs exactly as I intend it to.
However, when I have it tested by coworkers, the form tabbing does NOT perform as intended. They are using Adobe Acrobat Pro v 8.1.3 and Acrobat Reader v 9.0.0.
Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening and how I can fix it? Myself and one of our developers have spent hours on this and cannot even get to the root of the problem, let alone resolve the issue.
Thanks!
Susan

George, once again you have saved me much additional grief!! Changing the order to "row order" instead of "manual order" was all it took...although I still don't understand why the end users tabbing order did not match what I could see in the development software. (Perhaps that information would be a bit too much of a Christmas miracle to hope for.)
Thank you so much for your help on this! I now have five other forms to prepare, and your wisdom should help them all go smoothly.

[Bug?] How to use the Tab key in forms

Ahoy!
The latest release of Photoshop has "broken" the native behavior of the Tab key in html panels. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a new API I need to incorporate.
Expected behavior:
1. Focus into text field in a form
2. Hit the Tab key
3. The next field is focused.
Actual behavior
1. Focus into text field in a form
2. Hit the Tab key
3. Photoshop hides the application UI (Photoshop hotkey tab behavior).
Anyone happen to know if there's something that can be done about this?

Bug is very annoying for our users when they try to input their usernames and passwords to login (often) and also when they're filling out a large form with four fields in it.
Hope it is fixed soon or a work around provided.
