  • Help, I accidentally deleted the parent tab set.

    I accidentally deleted the parent tab set from my application, and cannot find anyway to create a new one. Has anyone had this problem?

    Hi Scott,
    unfortunately I made a stupid thing, being too smart and updating the FLOWS_020200.wwv_SOMETHING_tabs record, modifying parent tab of the problematic tab to main. Doing that caused the complete application to disappear from the Application builder. I guess some checksums in APEX internal objects were modified and that is the result.
    Fortunately I had a recent export of an application, so I didn't loose too much. That also means that I can not help myself with "as of" export.
    Could you please just tell if recreating parent tabs is possible by "clicking through apex screens" or should there be some hacking used.

  • How to switch between 2 Parent Tab Sets main and main2

    Hi,

    Hi Kappy,
    well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
    WHY NOT???
    Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
    Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
    I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
    Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
    To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.

  • Parent Tab Set Problem with 1.6

    Hi,
    I came across a small issue when trying to add tabs (2 sets) to a non tab enabled application. Here are the steps to reproduce it:
    1. Switch page default theme to 2 tab sets (edit theme)
    2. Click on tabs link in page editor, takes you to tab manager with 2 add buttons, one on parent and one on tab set.
    3. Click add parent (opens create parent tab wizard)
    4. Enter Parent Tab Label then click next
    5. Error: Tab set or new tab set must be specified.
    It seems that the only way to create a parent tab set is through the new application wizard (defaults to main) or through the standard tab set wizard (Tab Parent). Do you think this should also be available through the create parent wizard?
    I also had some problems with the automatic naming of the tabs. The wizards seem to be a little inconsistent, sometimes asking for a label (and deriving the name) and other times asking for the name. It gets very confusing when you have tabs and parent tabs named the same, especially with the addition of parent tab set and tab sets. Would it be possible to use a different prefix for the different tab types, e.g.
    PTS_XXX (parent tab set)
    PT_XXX (parent tab)
    TS_XXX (tab set)
    T_XXX (tab)
    I'm really impressed with this product, but I think the tabs section tripped me up the most (page templates, page attributes, parent tab sets, parent tabs, tab sets, tabs, etc.) and the manual kind of glossed over a lot of it.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    Ahg 1.6?
    You really need to upgrade. If your not the one in charge of that start complaining to whoever is, there are so many enhancements and new features it would be hard to list them.

  • Tab SET Problems

    Apex 3.0
    How do you delete a parent tab set?
    As I have accidentally created a second parent tab set, I am finding it difficult to create new tabs within my main parent tab set. Any new tabs are automatically placed within the unwanted parent tab set.
    Am I correct in saying there are 4 entities with tabs?
    1. the parent tab set
    2. the parent tab
    3. the standard tab set
    4. the standard tab
    Gus..

    What I do in 2.1 is...
    go to your tab setup (Home > App builder > Application # > Shared Components > Tabs)
    Select "Manage Parent Tabs" on the Right bar
    Rename Parent Tab Set on Right Bar
    Then Rename your set to the same on you curerntly use
    Parent Tab Set to rename: BadPTS
    New Name: CurrentPTS

  • Creating new page with new parent tab

    Does this happen to anyone else? When I try to create a new page that will have a new parent tab and standard tab in a 2-level tab setup, it never seems to work right. I end up having to dele the new parent tab and standard tab I created while creating the new page. Then once the page is created, I go into Shared Components -> Tabs, and create a new Parent Tab and assign it to this new page. Seems like a crazy way to have to do it.
    I know this sounds crazy and it is hard to explain the issue, but anyone who has had this problem with creating a new page with new 2-level tabs will understand what I am talking about.
    Can anyone point me to an explanation on how this should be done? I know I must be missing something.
    Thanks,
    John

    I've recently had to muck around with the 2 level tabs aswell. There are some things making this rather difficult indeed.
    What i'd do when creating a new page you want to have under a new tab, but also with a new parent tab, is to create it with only a new STANDARD tab. Don't create a new parent tabset. All parent tabs are in the same tabset, and if you create a new tabset you'll effectively see only this new parent tab + tab on the page you created.
    So unless you want the page to be on an absolutely new set of tabs, you'll probably just want the page to be on a new top-level tab with under that a new standard tab. Like so:
    <NEW PARENT> | parent 1 | parent 3 | parent 4
    <NEW TAB> |
    To achiece this, you'll need a new standard tab set. You can create this when creating the page. The standard tab set is the set used for you lower level tabs, so obviously we do need a new one.
    As for the parent set which you can choose upon page creation, choose the already existing parent tab set. This set contains all your already existing parent tabs, and you wish to add one for display.
    When you finish creating the page and run it, you'll see that the standard (lower level) tab is there, and is set to active, but your parent tab is not there.
    Go to Shared Components > Tabs. Select the "Manage Tabs" tab there. You can notice your new set there, but notice the striped outline of it. This tab has no parent tab for it! And this is the problem with tab creation in 2-level tabs: you can make a new STANDARD tab and tabset, and define a parent tab set OR create a NEW tab set with tab. Both options fail us: what we want is a NEW parent tab in an existing parent tab set!
    So to fix our problem, from the manage tabs tab click on "Manage Parent Tabs", found on the right hand side of the screen in the region "Parent Tab Tasks".
    This'll bring you to a magical new tab within the tab components. It's a mystery to me why it has to be hidden like this, and makes it a real pain to use. On this page you can manage your parent tabs (the only place to do so actually...). Here you'll see there is no parent tab for your page (again), but here you can create a new parent tab from the right hand menu "Parent Tab Tasks" > "Create New Parent Tab". Enter a label, and choose your existing parent tab set as parent tab set. Don't create a new set. As for target, refer to your new page again.
    However, we are not done yet. You are returned to the "Parent Tab Management" page. You new parent tab will be shown there, but when you run your page, the parent tab will not be set active yet.
    To fix that, go back to the "Parent Tab Management". Select your parent tab so you go to it's details. Firstly, give it a new sequence number, otherwise it'll be shared with one (the parent tabs are created with sequence nr 10, so most probably on a shared position with your first parent tab).
    Then turn your eyes on the "Current on Standard TabSet" list item. It'll have an option selected, but take a good look: it'll be the same name as your parent tab. From the options, select your new Standard tab set (the lower level set) which holds your new page. Then apply your changes and run your page: both your parent and standard tab will be there and highlighted. Yay!

  • Parent Tab Not showing

    Ok, I know tabs should be easy, but I'm just missing something here.
    I have edited my page and set the page template display attribute to "two level tabs".
    Is there something else I need to do to see two levels of tabs? I have so many tabs that users need a 24" monitor to view them all with one level tabs.
    Thanks,
    Reid

    Hi Reid,
    It is possible that you've missed off a setting or two in the tab definitions. I've detailed the full steps from scratch here: Re: 2 level tabs with Breadcrum
    It sounds like you may have missed this part in the Standard Tab setup:
    >
    "13 - Scroll down to the "Parent Tab Set" section and make sure that this is set to "PT_GROUPS" and click "Apply Changes" - if you do not do this, you will not see any parent tabs when this page is loaded"

  • Parent TAB question

    Hi, I like to enlarge my existing application and have defined a PARENT TAB (with three Tabs) and have assigned my 9 Standard Tabs (and Pages) to the 3 standard tabs.
    Now these new Parent Tabs are not shown.
    In the "Edit Page" I can only assign either or of the Parent Tab Sets (and only two of th three are shown) - how to assign the whole 3-fold Parent Tab set ?
    What do I miss ?
    pls adv TIA
    Bernhard

    my first guess would be that you're using a page template that isn't set up for two levels of tabs. for parent tabs to render correctly your page template needs to use the substitution string #PARENT_TAB_CELLS# somewhere on it. rather than just dropping that substitution string onto my existing template, i find it's much easier to create a new template where i "Choose one from the HTML DB repository". if i choose on of the 2-tab-level template from there, things look pretty clean w/o me having to clean up. anyhow, do try that to see if you're tabs will render correctly. also, so you know, pages aren't really directly associated with standard tabs or parent tabs. as you're finding, you associate a page with a standard tab set. that standard tab set can then optionally be associated with a parent tab set.
    hope this helps,

  • Unable to Set Parent Tab on Pages

    Hi,
    I created some pages and I just created parent tabs. However, I am unable to apply the parent tabs to the page. I went to the "Utilization" area and it does not have reference to any page.

    Hi Denes,
    I totally agree that it would be worthwhile putting together some tips on handling tab creation. Somewhere earlier in this forum I did explain how to create everything manually (though I do tend to create tabs during the page creation wizard) but it would be helpful if there was a definitive guide somewhere.
    I think my number one tip, as far as parent tabs goes, is to change the default sequence number to something other than 10 during creation. If you already have a tab with this number, you tend to lose your new one. I set this to 999 during creation and then change it afterwards.

  • Can't grasp the relation between tab set, parent tab, standard tab set and standard tab

    Very novice to apex application building, but after trying to figure the concepts behind the tab sets I'm getting more and more confused about it as I always get different behaviour when changing things.
    The documentation is not very clear on this.
    Is there someone who can explain this in a comprehensive way?
    It would be nice to have a view on the consequences of using these different levels of groupings.
    Any help will be dearly appreciated ;-)

    One level tab application
    Tabsets are used to group standard tabs.
    Use full when splitting up the application in different sections. Much like how the apex is split up in the application builder, sql workshop, team developend and administration.
    Parent tabs aren't used. And a one level tab application can't be turned into a two level tab application.
    Two level tab application
    Parent tabs belong to only one tabset "main".
    The standard tabset is the connection between the parent tab and standerd tab.
    There is one standard tabset for every parent tab.
    The standard tabset in the two level application has the same function as the tabset in the one level application.
    The standard tabset also determines when a parent tab is current.
    When on the page the setting Standard Tab Set is set then the parent tab belonging to that standard tabset is current.
    This means that if you change a page form one parent tab to an other you not only need to change the tab settings. But also the settings on the page.
    If you still in the position to choose between list or tabs as your main form of navigation I would recommend using lists.
    The possibilities with the list templates are greater that with tabs.
    Tabs have a maximum of two levels. List don't have such a limit.
    If you created your application as a one level tab application you can't turn it in a second level application without some serious hacking.
    Clicking on a standard tab submits the page and branch after the computations. This could also be viewed as a pro for tabs because with list navigation your page needs to be accessible by url. Did isn't necessary with standard tabs making them more secure. Parent tabs also use an url to navigate.
    Only the standard tabs belonging to the current standard tabset are rendered making a drop down menu impossible.
    Hope this clears up some of your questions.

  • Parent Tab and Standard Tab set

    What is the difference between above three - i.e. Parent Tab, Standard Tab set?
    I understand Parent Tab is the master level Tab, but not sure what is different between Standard Tab Set and Parent Tab? It seems like interchanging of terminology to me.
    Thanks
    Rich

    Thanks Jari, In the link given, there is a point which I have pasted below.
    6. Go to page “Display Attributes“, Select page template to “Two Level Tabs” and Standard Tab Set, in our example it is “TS1(page 1)”How do i go to this "Display Attributes" page?
    Thanks,

  • Tab Set not showing for Parent Tab - Bug?

    Greetings,
    (I figured someone else has experienced this issue, but after searching with multiple words I haven't found a thread.)
    Using Application Express 4.0.2.00.07. The application in question is using Theme 7 - Modern Blue
    My APEX application has over 20 pages and a lot of tabs, so I decided to create 2 new parent tabs (for a total of 3 parent tabs) and then assign the tabs to different tab sets so that I won't run out of horizontal space for all the tabs.
    As best that I can tell everything with the parent tabs is set up correctly. I even had another developer look over everything I set up. The two newly created 2 parent tabs don't show their tab set of tabs when I click them. The parent tab that was first created still works, but not the 2 new ones. When we maintain everything via the tab interface everything looks OK, but when we look at the pages they are still assigned to the original tab and I don't see a way to change the tab set on the page level. We copied and deleted a page and when we did the page and its tab displays with the correct parent tab.
    Is this a bug? It seems to be. It seems that creating the parent tab does not cascade down to the page level.
    Also, regardless if it is a bug, is there a way to change the tab set at the page level? I hate to copy a lot of pages and delete the orignal pages, but maybe that's the only work around.
    Also, maybe this is a theme issue? I know that some themes don't handle certain aspects correctly.
    Thanks, Tony

    I think I figured it out. There is a section on the page where you can change the Tab Set. It is under Display Attributes.

  • Problem Switching/Changing a page in one parent tab to another

    I have 2 level tabs in my application. Lets call the 'top' set of tabs, Parent1 and Parent2.
    Parent2 has only one tab 'below' or contained in it. While in Parent1, there are many tabs below it, each refers to a specific page that has some apex reports. I'm just trying to move one of those "sub" tabs and the corresponding report from Parent1 to Parent2.
    To do that, in Application Builder, i click on the page that i want to essentially switch form Parent1 to Parent2. I can see under the Tab section, what its called on the right side, under Tabs. Lets call that Tab_X. So, i click on that Tab_X, and it allows me to edit the Tab itself. Now I open up the drop down box called "Standard Tab Set", and there, i can see my Parent1, and Parent2 sets. It is already selected to Parent1. So i change it to Parent2. Save/Apply.
    Then i go run my application, and I do not see that Tab_X tab in Parent1 anymore (which is good-i wanted to move it). I click on the Parent2 top level tab, and there I can see the Tab_X in the sub-tab list, which is also good. So far.
    When i click on Tab_X to run my report, it runs and outputs fine. But i lose my Parent tabs in the Parent tab bar. My subtabs look like the ones it was grouped with in Parent1, even though i can't see Parent1 or Parent2.
    It seems like it sort of half made my change but not fully, and my navigation is now essentially not working properly.
    Am I missing a step to do this change correctly?
    Thanks.

  • Threadinar10 - Page Separator, Page Fragment Box , Tab Set & Tab Components

    Hi All,
    This is the tenth in the Threadinar series. See the Components Threadinar Index at http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=103424 for the complete list to date.
    This Threadinar will discuss 4 components in the "Components Palette: Layout Section" section of the Creator Component Catalog.
    The components we will focus on today are
    "Page Separator", "Page Fragment Box" , "Tab Set" & "Tab" Components.
    Let us begin our discussion with the "Page Separator" Component.
    Page Separator Component
    You can drag the Page Separator component from the Palette's Layout category to the Visual Designer to create a horizontal line that resizes to any page width selected by the user. This component is the visual equivalent of an HTML <hr> tag.
    In the page bean, a Page Separator component is a PageSeparator object.
    * Note: If you want to use an HTML <hr> tag, drop a Meta component on the page and set its tag property to hr.
    [b]Page Fragment Box Component
    This component enables you to include a page fragment in a page. A page fragment is a separate, reusable part of a page that can be included in any number of pages. For example, you might want to put a common a visual element like a header graphic in a page fragment and then include it in all the pages in an application.
    When you drag the Page Fragment Box component from the Layout category of the Palette and drop it on a page, the Select Page Fragment dialog box prompts you for the name of the page fragment to be included. You can enter the name of an existing page fragment or create a new page fragment. If you create a new page fragment, the IDE gives the new fragment a .jspf file suffix and creates a node for it in the Projects window, as well as adding the page fragment to the Outline window.
    * Note: A Page Fragment Box component simply includes a page fragment in a page. Deleting a Page Fragment Box component from a page does not delete the page fragment itself, even if you originally used the Select Page Fragment dialog box to create the page fragment.
    After dropping a Page Fragment Box component on the page, if you click inside the component, you see the properties for the included fragment. If you click the border of the component, you see the properties for the enclosing <div> block. You can also use the Outline window to select the enclosing block, the page fragment, or the components in the page fragment. In the Outline window, the Page Fragment Box component is represented by a node named directive.include:fragment-file.jspf, where fragment-file is the name of the page fragment file.
    If you double-click the page fragment, it opens as a page in the Visual Editor, enabling you to edit it like a regular page. The page fragment has an associated JavaBeans object, a page fragment bean, which you can edit by clicking the Java button at the top of the page fragment when it is open in the Visual Editor. As with a regular page, if you drop a component like a button in a fragment, double clicking adds an event handler in the page fragment bean, enabling you to reuse the code on any page to which you add the page fragment. A common scenario for reusing component code would be a Search Box fragment that has a search Label, a Text Field where the user enters the search string, some Inline Help, and search logic code in the page fragment bean.
    * The tab order of the components in the page is unlikely to work properly unless you enclose the entire page fragment box in the Faces Verbatim component.
    For more details see tutorial : "Using Page Fragments"
    http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/pagefragments.html
    [b]Tab Set Component
    The Tab Set component in the Palette's Layout category is a container for a set of Tab components. Typical uses of a tab set are:
    * To provide alternate sets of components on the same page and enable the user to navigate to them by clicking on tabs. The user sees only the components under the currently selected tab. For more information on adding components to tabs, see Tab Component.
    * To navigate among a set of pages. If you use a tab set this way, you would usually have the tab set near the top of each page with the component's width set at 100%. You would use the Page Navigation editor to define each tab to display a page in the application, with the current page's tab set as the selected tab. In addition, you would need to delete the default Layout Panel component under each tab so the tab would display the page contents.
    You can set Tab Set properties in the component's Properties window.
    A Tab Set component contains Tab Components, and Tab components can contain other Tab components. You can see these components displayed as hierarchical nodes in the Outline window after you add a Tab Set to your page.
    You can add a new tab to a tab set in two ways, by right-clicking the Tab Set component and choosing Add Tab or by dropping a new tab component on the Tab Set or on a Tab component.
    You can drop a new tab component on a tab set in the Visual Designer to the right or left of existing tabs to create a new tab at that level. The tabs in a tab set can also be containers for other tabs. If you drop a Tab component on an existing tab, the new tab becomes a child of the tab on which you dropped it. The maximum number of levels for tabs is three.
    The tab set component determines which tab is rendered as selected, storing the value in the selected property. By default, the selected property is set to the first tab created for the component. If you click a tab while designing your web page, that tab becomes the selected tab. You can tell during design time that a tab is selected because its color changes.
    [b]Tab Component
    A Tab is part of a Tab Set component. You can add a new tab to a tab set in two ways, by right-clicking the Tab Set component and choosing Add Tab or by dragging a new Tab component from the Layout category of the Palette and dropping it on the Tab Set or on another Tab component. You can also drag from the Palette and drop the tab on the tab set's nodes in the Outline window.
    * If you drop the Tab component to the left or right of an existing tab, it is added to the same row of tabs.
    * If you drop the Tab component on an existing tab, the dropped tab becomes a child tab of the tab on which you drop it unless the existing tab is a third level tab. You can have at most three levels of tabs in a tab set.
    o Note: You cannot add a child tab to a tab that has components in its Layout Panel. When you drop a tab on an existing tab component that has an empty Layout Panel, the empty Layout Panel is deleted to make room for the dropped tab.
    By default, a Tab component has a Layout Panel below it where you can drop components that will be displayed when the user selects the tab. The Layout Panel by default has its panelLayout property set to Grid Layout, meaning that components dropped on the panel are aligned at the location where they are dropped. You can change the layout behavior by setting the panelLayout property to Flow Layout, which aligns dropped components left to right in rows. For more information on Layout Panel properties, see Layout Panel Component Properties Window.
    To select a tab in a tab set, either click the Tab component on the page or select the Tab component's node in the Outline window. To select the whole tab set, either click the border of the Tab Set component on the page or select the tab set's node in the Outline window. Alternatively, you can select a Tab component and either press Escape or right-click and choose Select Parent to select its parent component.
    * Note: If you select a tab on a page in the Visual Designer, a side effect is that it becomes the selected tab. If this effect is not what you want, select the tab in the Outline window so you can set its properties.
    You can drag tabs in the Outline window to change their location and level in the tab set.
    Some typical uses of tabs:
    * You can drop components on the Layout Panel component below a tab to enable a set of components to be displayed below each tab. When the user selects a tab, they see only the components that are associated with the tab, without having to change pages.
    * You can use a tab set to navigate among a set of pages. Each tab component links to a page in your web application. You would use the Page Navigation editor to define each tab to display a page in the application, with the current page's tab set as the selected tab. If you want to use the tab set for page navigation, be sure to delete each tab component's Layout Panel.
    You can also right-click the Tab component and choose one of the following options:
    * Edit action Event Handler. Code the action event handler, the method that is called when the user clicks the tab. This method determines which page or resource to open based on specified conditions. The action method typically processes mouse clicks and returns a string indicating the name of a page navigation case (the page in your application to display next). The default name for the method is tab-id_action, where tab-id is the value of the tab's id property.
    * Bind to Data. Dynamically set the text that appears on the tab. You can bind the component's text property to an object or a data provider, as described in the topic Bind to Data Dialog Box.
    * Property Bindings. Opens a dialog box that enables you to bind properties of the component in addition to the text property to other objects or bean properties that update this component's properties automatically.
    [b] Please join in and share your comments, experiences, additional information, questions, feedback, etc. on these components. <br><br>
    Thank you for your participation

    The following blog has a mini tutorial on using a tab set in a page fragment for page navigation:
    http://blogs.sun.com/divas/entry/tabbing_thru_the_tulips
    A reader commented that the mini tutorial needed to be improved upon to show how to keep the tab state and navigation state in synch.
    How would you do it? If you have a good example, maybe post it to this thread.
    Also, there is no tab tutorial but it is on the priority list. What would you like a tab tutorial to show how to do?

Maybe you are looking for
