Labels on a tab page

how can I aligned my labels on the tabs? I want them to all be at the left within the tab space.
thanks!

I must admit that I've never used the page labels display and it does look like a bug. You can fix it however. Select the tab control and choose Advanced>Customize. In the control editor, select the page label control and do the same thing. You should be in the control editor for the numeric control and then you can go to edit mode and enlarge the decrement arrow to make it the same size as the increment.

ok, what is the special character, is the undescore above the x ?
With standard-forms it's not possible to put multiline-labels on a tab-page. To have a look at the pjc-opportunities, i would start with Francois pjc-site:

How to Make the label of the active tab-page BOLD?

Hi All
I am working on forms 10g(version 10.1.2.0.2 ) with Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 on windows 2000 platform.
My requirement is to make the label of the active tab-page either in italics or with a different color or make it BOLD than the other pages of the canvas.
Any suggestions ?
Regards
Mohan

there are no properties for those requirements on tab-pages. You can't do it.
Setting italic for all Tabpage-Labels is possible, when you change it in the canvas-properties. But you can't change only one tabpage.
One Solution is, what Jeneesh said: Active-Style. But only "Bold" and for the active tab.

Set Tab Page property - Label property dynamically

Hi All,
I have a Tab page canvas.
My 1st tab canvas Label is "Projects".
If i entered 2 record means i need to change the Tab page label as "Projects 2".
IN which trigger , i will write a coding for that?
If i am in the Tabbed canvas , it is working .If i come to Main canvas the Tab canvas label is clearing.
Can u tell me suggestion for that.

You could go with a combination of a Calculated item of type "Summary" and another calculated item of type "Formula":
Create a calculated item :BLOCK.IT_COUNT of type "summary" which counts one of the NOT NULL-items in your data-block.
Create a Program Unit liek that:
FUNCTION FK_CHANGE_COUNT
RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
SET_TAB_PAGE_PROPERTY('YOUR_TAB_PAGE', LABEL, 'The Text' || :BLOCK.IT_COUNT);
RETURN 1;
END;Create a second calculated item of type "Formula", in the formula enter FK_CHANGE_COUNT.
Now, everytime the count of the block changes, the "dummy" function will be called to calculate whatever, and the function sets the Tab-Label to the desired value.

Programmatically change tab page label font size

Hellow Fellow LabVIEW Lovers,
I thought this subject was easy with LV2009, somehow I cannot find the property for the "tab page label font size", yes, i also looked with the "pages" ref array from the tab ref, also no luck. Could someone point me to the right place? I would really appreciate your help. Thanks.

If hasPlayer = true Then Exit Do
playerversion = playerversion - 1
Loop
is_FlashVersion = playerversion

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.

Tab page label color changes between 9.0.4 and 11.1.2

In Forms 9.0.4, all of my Tab Page Labels were in a black font. When I migrated to version 11.1.2, they are now in a white font. How can I force the font on the tab page labels to be black?
I tried setting foreground color on the Tab Page to be black, but that didn't help.
I also tried setting a visual attribute on the Tab Page to one that had a black foreground color, but that also didn't help.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I was able to solve the problem by changing the text color directly in the Layout Editor (with the color pickers at the bottom of the left hand toolbar), rather than using the property palette to set this.

Tab Page Label

Hi,
Is it possible to change a Tab Page Label dynamically.
i,e clicking on a tree node, the tab page label should
change to the name of the selected node.
Thanks
Sharath

As far as I remember, there is also a difference between Forms 6 and 6i. I think Forms 6 isn't able to set the size dynamically, 6i is. So you have to use enough spaces to have the right size for the longest possible dynamic value.

Is there a way to create multiple New Tabs pages and name them?

This feature is great but I would like to be able to create multiple new tabs pages and label them. This would be more useful than tabs groups that all load at once.

No that is (currently) not possible.
It will be possible in future Firefox version to specify the number of rows and columns.

WEB.show_document in Browser Tab Pages

Hi
This problem occurs in IE7 which makes use of tab pages on the web browser. I'm using forms 10g, web.show_document(v_url, '_BLANK') to pop up a browser window in IE to display a PDF file residing on the App Server.
The new browser window pops up in IE and displays the pdf document fine. The window title and address bar contain the correct url (a rather long one). The problem I have is that the browser tab page is labelled "Error" which immediately causes concerns amongst the users. I'm not sure if it does this because it does not know what to label the tab page or if the URL is perhaps too long.
Is there any way to rename / relabel the tab page or set the name or alias somewhere? I'll appreciate any advice on the issue...
Regards
Mario

Hi,
With web.show_document() you could call a html page that call your php page with POST().

Tab pages do not seem to have "scroll" feature in 9i

I have a couple of forms with a lot of Tab pages, and in the Forms9iDS it appears to have that small, horizontal "scrollbar" (widget with [start][scroll on tab page back][scroll one tab page forward][end] at the upper right corner).
However, the tab pages (when run in 9i) all show up on the same canvas, but they seem to have been shortened instead, substituting "..." where the tab page label is too long to display.
Can this be set - I mean can you choose whether it display the little scroll-thingy, or whether it tries to fit everything inside the Tab Canvas at once?
Sincerely,
Jesper Vad Kristensen

Jesper,
there exist a HTM parameter "dontTruncateTabs" that needs to be set to true. To use this HTML parameter do as follows
1. open basejini.htm in the forms90/server directory with a text editor
2. Add the following line to the IE section
<PARAM NAME="dontTruncateTabs" VALUE="true">
3. Add the following line to teh Netscape section of the same file
dontTruncateTabs=true
Note that if you use other base HTML files then basejini.htm you will have to edit these too.

WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED TRIGGER

Hi all
Is any way to found examples of

Any references will be very usefull.
Thanks a lot,

Forms 9i tab pages inside a tab page

hi,
i m using forms 9i, is it possible to set a tab page inside a tab page
ie i have a master tab page called 'Office' and i have to add two tab pages
called 'excel', 'word' as the sub of this main tab..is it possible.......?
if yes how ?
thanks in advance
KK

You can create the illusion of this though using stacked and tabbed canvases. Make the main tab small so that it only displays the labels and then display the other stacked or tabbed canvases dependent upon which tab the user selects. We've done something similar to this and it works pretty well.

New tab page thumbnails are blank - always blank

I've updated to FF 13.0 (Linux) and was keen to have a look at the Opera-like tthumbnails when opening a new page from the tab bar.
I open the page that should have small renderings of recently visited sites and I'm presented with empty squares with text labels to indicate what page they link to.
I've tried the "'''click on the blank square and wait for the page to completely load'''' solution but that doesn't work.
What should I try next?

I was having this issue too. Changing my privacy settings allowed the thumbnails to appear.
# Go to Edit > Preferences > Privacy.
# Under Privacy there's a checkbox for Clear history when Firefox closes and to the right a Settings button.
# Click the Settings button and uncheck Browsing History and Cache.
# Restart FF.
# The thumbnails appear after you revisit sites.
The text "Clear history when Firefox closes" seems misleading, since it is affecting behavior ''before'' FF closes. I guess these setting aren't just for clearing history but ''writing'' history too. Is that a bug? I'm on Ubuntu with FF 13.0.1.
