Tab Canvas on a STACKED Canvas?

Is it possible to have a tab canvas ON (IN) a stacked canvas? Or can a tab canvas ONLY be placed on a content canvas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Can you tell the requirement clearly, whether you need to create a tab canvas on stacked canvas, a tab canvas in stacked canvas.
1.Stack Canvas in Tab canvas
First you need to create a tab canvas in the content canvas then you need to create a stack canvas on the content canvas, then you need to align it properly.

  • 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
    Sharath

    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?

  • How to change content/stacked canvases to tab canvas

    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.

    Might get a better response in the Forms forum...

  • Forms 6i, Stacked & Tabbed Canvas- Wierd behaviour

    Hi,
    I am having a wierd problem:
    Scenario:
    I have a datablock of 40 columns.
    I put 1 (say col-1 on page_1 and col-21 on page_2) column each on two different TAB pages.
    I created 2 stacked canvases: page_1_stacked & page_2_stacked
    I put col-2 to col-10 on page_1_stacked
    and col-22 to col-40 on page_2_stacked
    I used the following code to show/hide the appropriate cols/stack canvases when the users changes Tab pages:
    [when-tab-page-changed
    if (:system.tab_new_page ='PAGE_1')
         then
         show_view('PAGE_1_STACKED');
         hide_view(''PAGE_2_STACKED'');
    elsif (:system.tab_new_page ='PAGE_2')
         then
         hide_view('PAGE_1_STACKED');
         show_view(''PAGE_2_STACKED'');
    end if;
    Problem:
    Everything seems to work fine, the stacked canvases show/hide as expected, but --->as soon as I put my cursor in any column on TABBED PAGE (here col-1 or col-21), all the stacked canvases vanish
    -->if as a result of above case where I put the cursor in a tabbed-page col and canvas vanished, I navigate to the next field (which is on canvas), the canvas shows up (which is normal)....but then this canvas wont get hidden with my hide view... and end up with all stacked canvases shown together or none at all
    I have played around with all the properties and am really trapped.
    Please help!
    Thanks.

    Devang, are you aware that if you put the cursor focus in a field, Forms will ignore any show_view or hide_view commands if they cause the cursor to disappear? And if your cursor focus is in a field in a stacked view, hide_view will not work. Forms will not let you hide or cover up what ever item is identified by :System.Cursor_Item.
    I do not know why you need Col_1 or col_21 on the tab canvas. Put them on your stacked canvasses, too.
    Use a when-new-item-instance block-level trigger to determine which tab page should be displayed. If :System.trigger_item = col_1 through col_20, make sure Page_1 is displayed, and for col_21 through col_40, make sure Page_2 is displayed.
    Similarly, use a when-tab-page-changed trigger to move the cursor to the correct canvas. You wouldn't even need to use show_view or hide_view, Forms will do that for you each time you move into an item on either canvas.
    And why are you using two canvases anyway? Since you are using a horizontal scrollbar, why not put them all on a single canvas? (And then you wouldn't need the tab pages.)

  • How: Stacked Canvas on Tab Canvas ?

    Hi All,
    I have content canvas in which I have placed tab canvas with 5 tabs, and on one of the tab I want to place stacked canvas because I have to display multiple blocks on this stacked canvas with vertical scroll bar (This I can specify by saying Vertical scroll bar as Yes for Stacked canvas).
    There is a restriction that, it is not possible to place stacked canvas on tab canvas (Possible only on content canvas), so is there any other workaround.
    Please let me know if anyone has worked on similar type of screen development. Appreciate if anyone can provide some sample code.
    Advance thanks for your time and help.

    Hi All,
    I found the solution and successfully implemented the desired functionality
    DECLARE
         v_Tab VARCHAR2(1000);
    BEGIN
         v_Tab := GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY('CAN_TABS', TOPMOST_TAB_PAGE);
         IF v_Tab = 'a1' THEN
         GO_BLOCK('BLK1');
              EXECUTE_QUERY;
         ELSIF v_Tab = 'a2' THEN
              GO_BLOCK('BLK2');
              EXECUTE_QUERY;
         ELSIF v_Tab = 'a3' THEN
    *          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',HEIGHT,280);*

    *          Set_View_Property('CAN_STK_FIS_NET',DISPLAY_POSITION,6,135);*

              GO_BLOCK('BLK_FIS1_GRID');
              EXECUTE_QUERY;
    END IF;
    END ;
    I have seperately created stacked canvas 'CAN_STK_FIS_NET' and placed multiple blocks as per requirement and able to achieve the functionality.
    Please let me know if any one need any detail explanation.

  • 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

  • Tab canvas disappear when the main stacked canvas reach the end of column

    Hi all,
    I have 3 canvas ( 1 main canvas, 1 stacked canvas ) and this link to 1 tab canvas. All these are in the same window.
    Whenever using the keyboard to press enter navigate from column to column and when it reach the end of the main canvas which is about to jump to the stack canvas, the two canvas ( stacked & tab ) was hide by itself. Even I have stated earlier to show all canvas in the pre-block trigger. when I keep on press the enter to jump to the next stacked canvas, this stacked canvas is being shown again. My tab canvas was not appear if I am press the enter key. However, if I press the arrow key down the tab canvas is appear. This I wasn't do any code to call the tab canvas.
    When I keep on press enter and reach the end of the stacked canvas again the tab canvas is disappear, unless I have press the arrow key down to display the tab canvas.
    Trying to use show_view( tab canvas ) in many trigger but still does not show the effect.
    Anyone has this experience before ?
    Thanks.

  • Setting stacked canvas properties when inside a tab canvas

    Hi all,
    I grope setting the x and y position of a stacked canvas programmatically : I work inside a tab canvas , there is one multirecord based block which is split into two tab pages. The problem is that the x and y positions of each first item in each tab of the block are no the same. And I want to hide and show the stacked canvas on which is based the scrollbar of the block , according to the top_most_tab_page.
    The stacked canvas has the same width and height as the tab canvas ; it has viewport width set to the width of the scrollbar , say 0.415 ; it has viewport height set to the length of the scrollbar , say 1.833 ; the viewport X/Y position on canvas properties are set to 0.
    I tried to set the VIEWPORT_X_POS and VIEWPORT_Y_POS properties of the view programmatically to place the scrollbar just sticky with the first item when in each tab page , but the scrollbar is not displayed on the desired place. It is moved.
    So how to place the stacked canvas at the right position to be stuck with the left first item ?
    Thank you very much indeed.

    I did a little test and it works (it'll only take you 3 min)
    Create a new Form.
    Add 3 Canvases 1 Content and 2 Tab with the following Properties
    Content
    Vieport X Position on Canvas: 0
    Vieport Y Position on Canvas: 0
    Width: 540
    Height: 324
    Master Tabs
    Vieport X: 35
    Vieport Y: 20
    Vieport Width: 460
    Vieport Heigth: 280
    Detail Tabs
    Vieport X: 150
    Vieport Y: 95
    Vieport Width: 260
    Vieport Heigth: 160
    Then go to Layout editor and while viewing the Content Canvas go to the menu View -> Stacked View...
    From there select both tab canvases to be shown.
    Also add a dummy item (i.e a button )somewhere in the form otherwise nothing will appear when you run the form.

  • Tab-Canvas and Stacked-Canvas (Forms 5.0)

    Is it possible to design a tab canvas that contains stacked-canvas? I can't create it!

    Yes - it is possible to design a tab canvas that contains stacked-canvas. Create a separate canvas with its own block and you can call go_block and the canvas/block will show. You can also call show_view but the canvas you call must be of the type stacked. (aside - a tab canvas seems to automatically act like a stacked canvas). I have used a canvas w/block that sits at the top of the screen by setting it to be only 60 points tall (and it is the first block in the list) then in a when-new-form-instance trigger I call show_view('tab canvas name') and have its viewport begin at 60, therefore the tab canvas fits right under the header canvas. You can then leave this to call other canvases/blocks and return and set up the same situation again. Sometimes I have gotten strange results where no matter what I do it will not show the tab canvas - at this point usually you recreate what won't show and it will then work.
    good luck.

  • How do put a stack canvas inside the tab canvas

    Hi all,
    I have content canvas and tab canvas Now i want to put a stack canvas on the tab canvas .suppose tab canvas page are Page1,page2, page3 when i click the page1 then display the stack canvas 1,and when i click page2 then
    display stack canvas 3 ..... so on. help me to find the solutions to this Issue
    Thanks

    You would use the when-tab-page-changed trigger to use hide_view and show_view commands to hide one stacked canvas and show another.
    Just keep in mind that for a canvas to be displayed, the cursor must be in an item on that canvas, or at least in an item NOT covered by the canvas.
