Tab Canvas

Question

Hi,
I am using Forms 10g. I have Content canvas named CANVAS1 display few items from BLK1. I created a tab canvas called TAB_CAN contains TAB_PAGE1 and TAB_PAGE2, display items from BLK2
I would like to show the form in enter query mode and Form should display both CANVAS1 and TAB_CAN
Content canvas only displayed if i write in when-new-form-instance
show_view('canvas1');
show_view('tab_can');
go_item('blk2.item1);
go_item('blk1.item1)
enter-query;
tab canvas only displayed if i write code like this in write in when-new-form-instance
show_view('canvas1');
show_view('tab_can');
go_item('blk1.item1)
go_item('blk2.item1);
enter-query;
So, I request you to write a code to display both canvases and control should be in contant canvas and form should be enter-query mode.

Hello Murali,
As you are saying you want to show a Content canvas (Canvas1) and Tab Canvas (Tab_Can) both at the same time, you need to use more than one window for this.
Actually at any instant of time, you can show only one canvas on any window. So have two windows WINDOW 1 and WINDOW 2.
In Content canvas, set the window as WINDOW1, and in WINDOW1 set the primary canvas as CANVAS1. And, for tab canvas actually you should have another content canvas(CANVAS2) on which you have placed this Tab_Can. So in content canvas (CANVAS2), set the window as WINDOW2, and in WINDOW2 set the primary canvas as CANVAS2.
It will work i feel.
