Scroll bar for tabcontrol

Iam using Tabcontrol in my project.On tabcontrol Iam having lot of controls and indicators.The problem is I cannot see all the controls and indicators on a single screen i.e I should move the tabcontrol up and down.I would like to know wether can I attach scroll bar to the tabcontrol so that I can see all the controls and indicators by scrolling.

One fix is to but your controls on a subpanel and then on the tab control, this would work but my real suggestion is to simplify the views. If you have so many controls on each tab, see if you can regroup them so you have more tabs and fewer controls. I have found that users prefer few controls and indicators visible at a time for easy-to-use GUIs. A much more complicated solution you could implement your own tab control scroll bar and programatically move controls on the scroll (labview slide control not a real window scroll) event. Still it is best to keep designs "as simple as possible without being to simple". Also I have never seen a scrollbar on a tabcontrol and such nonstandard GUI experiences are probably not suggested.

  • How to get the Horizontal Scroll Bar for a Table?

    Hi All,
    As per my requirement, I am displaying several records in a Screen in a Tabular Format. But here I have to show 21 Columns in that table which is too high. I am able to display it but due to it I am getting a Horizontal scroll bar for the whole screen since all the columns are not getting displayed in the normal window screen space. But its looking too odd since once I am scrolling it to right the columns are getting displayed but the above Header Bar and Global buttons are not displaying, they are bound to the normal screen space.
    Is there a way to have a Horizontal scroll bar only for that table instead of the entire screen so that on scrolling that bar only the table rows will beshifted ant got displayed?
    With Thanks
    Kumar Gautam

    try this approach.
    include a raw text item before and table item.
    include the appropriate HTML tags in raw text item to enable horizontal scroll

  • Horizontal scroll bar for the adf page

    Hi,
    We have around 7 tables in single jsff page. Here , we have a requirement like :
    We need to show horizontal scroll bar for the entire page instead of each table. Is there any way to get this.
    As of now, we have horizontal scroll bar for each table, but our customer is not accepting this, that want the scroll bar for the entire page.
    Please suggest the approach.
    Thanks

    I have grouped all the tables in panelgrouplayout.So, what is the problem (because it is not quite clear what you need)?
    If your PanelGroupLayout is with layout="horizontal", then the tables will be rendered next to each other horizontally but there will be no horizontal scrollbar on the page.
    If your PanelGroupLayout is with layout="scroll", then the tables will be next to each other vertically and there will be a horizontal and a vertical scrollbar on the page (if necessary).
    If you need your tables to be relocated next to each other horizontally and to have a horizontal scrollbar on the page, then use a PanelGroupLayouts(horizontal) inside a PanelGroupLayout(scroll):
    <af:panelGroupLayout layout="scroll">
      <af:panelGroupLayout layout="horizontal">
        <af:table> ... </af:table>
        <af:table> ... </af:table>
        <af:table> ... </af:table>
      </af:panelGroupLayout>
    </af:panelGroupLayout>If your problem is that you still have horizontal scrollbars inside the tables, then you should set appropriate widths to the corresponding tables (e.g. to <af:table> tags) such that they are large enough to fit the sum of corresponding column widths.
    ya, I know that its not god design, but its customer requirement, so we need to do that.If you expect some table(s) to be stretched automatically according to the size of browser's window, then you should re-think your UI design because PanelGroupLayouts do not stretch their children. A possible solution is to use a combination of PanelSplitters or other layout containers that stretch their children.

  • Vertical scroll bar for the table

    Hi,
    I have a table which will contain more than 100 rows. First Visible rows will be 10.
    i want a vertical scroll bar for the table, so that i can see all the rows using vertical scroll bar. While scrolling down, the header row, which contain names of the column should be static (ie visible even scroll down) and the footer of the table should be visible even goes up.
    If I use Scroll container, it will take whole table and the header row, row with name of column will move up invisible when i scroll down. So it is not useful if i use scroll contatiner.
    I need a fnctionality were table has a vertical scroll bar to it.
    Thanks

  • Possible to have vertical scroll bar for a cell in ALV Grid (using methods)

    Hi All,
    I have a field with length 100 characters on a ALV Grid (using methods)..User doesn't want to scroll all the 100 characters horizontally to see the whole text rather he wants to have a vertical scroll bar for the cell so that he can scroll vertically.
    Is it possible to have split the cell text into lines and have a vertical scroll bar for a cell in ALV Grid?
    Regards
    Jaker.

    Thanks for the suggestion Balu.I tried this , but while scrolling,headers also getting scrolled.
    Becoz of this , if i scroll down to the last row,headers are getting hidden.
    Headers should always be static.only the data should scroll.
    Since h:datatable is being rendered as one table , i can div tag for this table alone.
    If i have seperate datatable for headers alone i can do this .But i should not use two datatables.

  • I have had elements 10 for a long time but recently the scroll bar for the fonts has disappeared. any ideas?

    I have had elements 10 for a long time but recently the scroll bar for the fonts has disappeared. any ideas?

    First try resetting the tool by clicking the tiny arrow at the far left end of the options bar and choosing reset tool.
    But you should be able to use the arrow keys to navigate through the fonts, too.

  • Scroll bar for advancedTable or Table region

    All,
    In PG.xml can we add scroll bar for advancedTable or Table regions ????
    Thanks,

    user575383,
    There is no scroll bars options for tables through framework. If table requires more width, the scrolling will get applied to the page rather than the table.

    Create a property node for each of the charts. Wire the controlling chart X scale maximum and minimum to the slave X scale max and min. (X Scale -> Range -> Max & Min).
    Hope this helps.

  • Scroll Bar for Pivot table in OBIEE reporting Tool

    Hi,
    Please let me know how to add scroll bar for a pivot table in OBIEE reporting Tool
    Thanks,
    Usha.
    Edited by: Usha.Cholangi on Aug 10, 2011 10:17 PM

    Hi Usha,
    Not sure about directly implementing scroll bars in a pivot table in OBIEE.
    But you can try using an IFrame which would display this report (pivot table) inside it. If the report increases in size (defined size of IFrame), it would automatically add scrollbars to the view.
    Let me know if you need more info on these lines.
    Thanks
