Regarding Creating Horizontally moving tabbed canvas at runtime

Hi..
Is it possible to create a Horizontal dynamically
moving Tabbed Canvas.
I want to move the particular tab page of the tabbed
canvas horizonatlly during runtime by placing a
horizontal scroll bar.
Could anyone tell me how it in can be done with steps?
Plz reply me asap it is urgent.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkatesan.S

Mmm
Let's see.. there are two tips:
- 1st: modify canvas length dinamically
- 2nd: put the scroll bar to the block into the canvas
Solutions:
- 1st: Use the set_canvas_property built-in (with WITDH parameter)
- 2nd: There are no problems to put an hoprizontal scrollbar associated to the block you're viewing into the page of your tabbed canvas
(To manage the scroll bar.. Have a look at set_block_property built-in)

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 to create tab canvas from content

Hi,
I have created a form which has one content canvas and multiple stacked canvases. The content canvas displays the first page and then we hv to click on next to go to the next stacked canvas and so on. I want to try making it in tabs (tab canvas) and then I will decide which one looks better and performs good.
Can you guys please give me a detailed instruction on how to convert my content and stacked canvases to tab canvases. I have never done tab canvas. I tried one, I changed one of my present stacked canvas to tab but all the fields and texts were gone and there were just two tabs in it.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

I will do so:
I will create a blank tab canvas and then I will cut and copy in every tab page the frame of the content canvas
A tab page for every content canvas

How to move a block from Content to Tab Canvas?

Hi All,
I've make a master and detailed blocks in an content canvas
Now this master block has another some detailed blocks, How to put a tab canvas on this content canvas?
that is if I created a new tab canvas it will appear in another page not in the content canvas!

Is the Tabbed Canvas larger than the Content Canvas? Also, just to clarify, when you created the tabbed canvas - did you draw the tabbed canvas on the content canvas in the Visual Designer? If you created the tabbed canvas by adding it to the Canvas Node in the Object Navigator and then set the appropriate properties to assign the window, x/y coordinates, etc., I've seen this cause unexpected behavior. It is better to draw the tabbed canvas on the content canvas rather than add it to the Canvas node through the object navigator.
Hope this helps,

Regarding creating a Tabbed Canvas that can be viewed horizontally

My current tabbed canvas is too lengthy..so i wanted to reduce teh size and dynamically at runtime i wanted to see the fields by scrolling the horizontal Scrollbar..Is it possible?

let me try to explain clearly..
I am working in Oracle forms 6i..
I have created one form which contains a tabbed canvas with three tabs..
In one particular tab there is a multi record block..the items are placed horizontally.since there are many items placed on the canvas horizontally i cannot able to view all the items at a time.. So is there anyway to sort it out? like by placing a Horizontal scrollbar and try to scroll it so that items are moved horizontally and all the items can be viewed.
I Have done this thing using a stacked Canvas earlier by placing some part of items in content canvas and the remaining moveable items in a stacked canvas and by keeping a Horizontal on the stacked Canvas i could able to view all the items by scrolling the scroll bar,Similar way i wanted to do it on the tabbed Canvas..If anyone has any valuable tips to do that you can reply me..

Runtime tab canvas does not look the same as designed in layout editor.

I created a tab canvas with the following physical properties:
Corner Style - Chamfered
Width Style - Variable
Active Style - Bold
The canvas looks nice in the layout editor, with the above properties. However, at runtime, the tab canvas seems to ignore the above properties and instead shows up with non-chamfered looking (whatever chamfered means) fixed-width rectangular tabs and the active tab page label is not in bold font. Is there a runtime setting that I'm missing here?
null

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?

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

FRM-13002 : Stacked and Tab Canvas must be created within Content Canvas

Hi,
I have a Tab Canvas with 2 pages on it.
In one of the pages the data to be displayed will be
out of the region(size or length) of that page.
I read in this forum for the same problem, the
member had suggested to use a Stacked Canvas on that
Tab page alone and enable the scrollbars of the stacked canvas.
When I drag and drop a stacked canvas on a tab page
of the tab canvas I get the following error:
FRM-13002 : Stacked and Tab Canvas must be created
within content canvas.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am breaking my head over this.
I am still unable to solve this issue.
========The Requirement is as follows :===========
When I select a Tab Page of a Tab canvas, I get a
combo box with items in it. When I select an item from
the combo box, based on the item selected, I am
retrieveing the data from the database and displaying
it in that Tab Page itself. This data is in a matrix
format. i,e Has a number of rows and columns.
Without a Horizontal and a Vertical Toolbar attached
to the Tab Page I would be unable to view all the records
that are displayed on that Tab Page.
Any suggestions or examples is most welcome and
appreciated.
NOTE : ALso in what situations can we use a stacked
canvas, if the designer does not allow me to
use it with other canvases?.
Thanks in advance
Sharath.

Horizontal Scrollbar on Tab Canvas

Hello,
I have to show horizontal scrollbar on my tab canvas.
I have one Content canvas on this i hv 4 tab canvas with different datablocks. Need to show horizontal scrollbar as the number of fields are the more than tab canvas size.
Please assist.
Is there any other workaround, if it is not possible through any property??
Thank you in advance.

1) create a stack canvas and assign window to it
2) create your items on stack canvas
3) set the stack canvas view port width and height according to your visible area of TAB canvas (the size of canvas must be more than View port)
4) set its X and Y position according to the TABs
5) set show scroll bar to YES horizontally
6) set WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED trigger to show and hide canvases based on current tab selection.
Hope you got the idea

Horizontal ScrollBar disables for Tab Canvas

Dear OTN Members,
I am developing a form with tab canvases.
If I set Horizontal Scroll Bar property to true, it comes as
disabled during the execution of the form. I am only able to
move to the rest of the items through keyboard.
Thanks in Advance.
Bye

Hi,
not directly. However, if - at runtime - you overlay parts of the tab canvas with a stacked canvas, then you could have this showing a horizontal scroll bar. All you tab canvas content need to be on the stack canvas though.

Forms 5 Tab Canvas & Horizontal Scrollbar

We are trying to implement a tab canvas which will hold a multi-record data block. The difficulty is that we would like to display a lot of fields and there is no Horizontal Scrollbar easily available for the Tab Canvas.
We are thinking about "simulating" a tab canvas by using stacked canvases. The stacked canvas allows us to have the scrollbar, but looses some of the look & feel of a tab canvas.
Anyone try to do this in Forms 5? How about anyone try to place a stacked canvas on top of a tab canvas?

We're using forms 6.0.8.8. Our standard practice is to never put items on a tab canvas, instead we put stacked canvas' on the tab canvas. Besides having canvas scroll bars, it also provides a basis to work around documented bugs for refreshing/resizing windows when returning from other forms/windows of different sizes etc.
