Tab Order Control on Custom Screens

Does anyone know how to set the tab stops on a custom screen? I would like to change the order of where the cursor goes when I hit the tab key.

Hi
So it seems a poor solution to code your own function to navigate screen elements utilizing a counter variable and the statement "SET CURSOR FIELD X" told by Prabhu.
e.g.
Our new function code: 'NAVFLD' assigned to some F-key.
*--PAI
*User commands
MODULE user_command_100 .
MODULE user_command_100 INPUT .
CASE gv_okcode_100 .
WHEN 'NAVFLD' .
case gv_navigation_counter .
WHEN gc_tabstop_x . " = 1
SET CURSOR FIELD X .
WHEN gc_tabstop_y . " = 2
SET CURSOR FIELD Y .
ENDCASE .
ENDCASE .
ENDMODULE .
P.S. : Code may be revised for some other issues not in context of this issue.
Hope this works...

Is different tabbing order behavior between Custom and Automatic order a known issue?

Good morning,
I'm trying to debug a tabbing order issue where tabbing jumps over the instances of a repeating subform added at runtime only to return to them at the end of the tabbing sequence.
Is this a know issue? If so, has it been fixed in newer version of Reader or Designer? I'm 98% sure this used to work before we installed service pack 1 for LC Designer ES. Here are the product versions currently used:
LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1.4029.1.523496
Adobe Reader 9.4.0
Additional Information
The hierarchy view looks like so (omitting fields for simplicity purposes):
form1
     Subform1 (repeats)
     AddButton (button adding instances of Subform1)
     Subform3
tabbing result after adding instances of Subform1:
1. Subform1[0]
2. AddButton[0]
3. Subform3[0]
4. Subform1[1]
5. Subform1[2]
expected results:
1. Subform1[0]
2. Subform1[1]
3. Subform1[2]
4. AddButton[0]
5. Subform3[0]
I built a simplified version of the form to isolate the source of the problem and noticed that I can reproduce the problem only when tabbing order is set to 'Custom'. The 'Automatic' order works fine. However most of the forms we're working on uses Custom order.
I've tried removing the 'operation' tag in the XML Source as it sometimes fixes issues however it didn't this time. Using script to set focus on the exit event is currently considered but not ideal. It does not handle backward tabbing and will need to be manually removed later when forms are migrated to a newer version of ES/Reader.

Yes, that behaviour is as expected. Out of order logging affords some performance improvements, particularly on machines with many CPUs.
In iWS 6.0, you can set buffers-per-file="1" on the Init fn="flex-init" line to force iWS to log accesses in order.

Reg:Table Control in Custom Screen

Hi All,
I am having a requirement of adding a custom screen in vendor master,interms of adding field i done it successfully by using BADI's,but now i added a table control in the custom screen,now whenever am trying to create a new vendor its showing vendor successfully created for the company code,but if i try to open any transaction after that am getting an error like "Express document "Update was terminated" received from author "Reference User Development"" , and if i go for transcation code XK03 if i try to open the particular vendor its showing error "Vendor has not been created".
Regards
Arpitam

Hi Suchithra,
For each and every fields in the screen will have by default properties as Group number which Group1 and Group3 but when u create a table control manually you might have forgot to maintain the the Group number details because of which it is showing in display rather in change.
Please maintain the Group details in screen field properties and check. I think it will work.

TAB functionality in a custom screen.

Hi,
   I need to develop a screen where in it contains table controls, different push buttons and Input output fields. One of the button is TAB. This tab button should function as a TAB functionality in the keyboard. Meaning whenever I click on this it should take me from one button to another button and when cursor is in table control it should take from one column to another column. Suppose if cursor is on fields (Input/Output fields) then it should take from one field to another field.
Cursor on Fields:
I have tried with Set cursor and increasing the counter and again using the set cursor to place on the counter(next) field. But this is not working. I have different types of fields meaning some Char, Int, Currency. Among these I need to move cursor.

Hi Malla,
         Thanks!
         I was doing the same , but I was passing the value of the field instead name of the field for the SET CURSOR. To scroll the tabs between the diff push buttons i am assigning the functional key to each push buttons whihc has a facility in the 3rd party tool.

Hide Tab order number in form fields

Hi,
In Acrobat 7.0 Professional (I know it's old), how do you hide the the tab order number in form fields you create? When I type in the form fields I've created, the tab order shows up on screen and on the hardcopy printed document.
HELP!
Thanks!

This is what I'm seeing, however I think we would like to know how to change the order.
For instance, I have formatted the form to have two columns of data entry: Personal info in column 1, product info in column 2. When the user types their name in column 1, row 1 for "Name" then go to tab down to "Email", it actually tabs right to column 2, row 1, "Product Year." Altering the tab order would fix this problem.
Thanks!

Control Tab order?

How can i control(customize) the Tab order?
By default Tab order is from left to right on the Form, I need to change this order.
Do i have to use focusLost/Gained ?
Thx
Ali

That's the good news. grin The bad news is that I haven't found any easy interface to set the Tab pattern in JDev like I've seen in other IDEs.
Some other interfaces I've seen supported ( hint, hint, Oracle ):
* A panel that displays all the fields, and you 'move' the fields up or down to order the tab order
* A setting that shows the tab order on the screen ( 1..2...3...) and you can directly change it on screen.
I really like the first option. It makes ordering quick and painless.

CV130 - Custom screen / tab

I need to add a custom screen or tab for DMS. I have screen 9000 in CV130 by copying screen 1204. I have added screen fields PRPS-POSID on the custom screen . I am not able to access the value of POSID when i enter a new value in the screen . In normal module program you have to code for the same but in this the other tabs it is working fine with same code as in 1204 but not for the custom screen. Do we need to do anything for this ?

Hi Neil
The sales order program (SAPMV45A) has the "old" screen-exit where you can implement an own your screen.
There are 2 screen:
- One for header: 8309
- One for item: 8459
If you active these screen (subscreen) a the tab "Addiional Data B" will be available
You need to get the access key in order to change them

How can I set the tab order of text box controls on each page of a tab control?

I need to be able to select the tabbing order of individual controls on a single page of a tabbed control. How??

In LV 6.1 an up you should be ablel to right click on the edge of the tab control when the tab-page in question is selected.
The bttom selcetion in the pop-up is "Reoder controls in page..."
selecting this option will switch editing modes to allow you to specify the ored, just like in a cluster.
I seem to remeber in older versions you had to drag the tabable controls off the tab control, specify the tabbing oder and then drag them back on. The oldest version I have on this machine is 6.1 so that all I can speak for at the moment.
I hope this helps,

"Tab" control and Tab order of controls inside the tab

Hello everybody,
I have created the tab control with 6 'tabs', inside every tab I have some controls, like edit fields etc. I wanted to make an order of controls for every tab, so I have selected the option "Tab-order settings" from menu "Edit" (sorry for translation, I use non-English version of LabView), and tried to set the order. After saving it with "OK" button it turned out that the order is not changed. Simple it seems that the option doesn't work for controls in tabs. Is this a bug or do you have a solution for this?
TIA,
Yazilim.

Sorry LabviewGuru, but I haven't found anything concerning Tab control and tab order inside it. Of course, I have found the topic "tabbing through front panel objects", but it simply describes how to change order for standard controls, not for controls which are inside the Tab control. But maybe you have another, extended help? So can you please copy and paste to discussion forum message this part of your help which concerns the Tab control and tab order, and then send the message?
TIA,
Yazilim.

Control Mandatory fields on custom screen in Module pool program

Hello all,
I have developed a custom screen on which I have a table control with 5 fields. I wanted to make the first three fields mandatory. So instead of selecting the entry as "required" from the screen attributes for these input fields, I have looped at table screen in PBO and based on the screen name and screen group I have set the field screen-required = 1. By doing this, I could make these 3 fields mandatory.
Now, when I enter the data for the first line and press enter, it is asking me to fill the required fields in the second line and so on.How can I avoid this without having to remove the mandatory symbol in the subsequent lines?
There is an altenative way of achieving this by not making the fields mandatory on the screen but while saving we can check if the value is entered and raise a message. In this scenario the user would not know that they are obligatory fields until he hits save button.
For example, in standard transaction VK12, if we select condition type K005 and go to the maintenance, we see that material is obligatory.
After entering material in first line and when I hit enter, it does not ask me enter the material in the second and subsequent lines even though it is a mandatory field.
I want to achive this functionality in my custom screen also.
Can anyone let me know how to handle this?
Thanks,
Sandeep.

Why didn't you set these fields as required on the attributes? That has to be the easiest way.

Dear Vara prasad,
The value of this field is if you want to print the invoices that are being posted manually you can activate this field.
It will be directly proposed from customer master to sales document, where you can change.
Please let me know if you want any further clarifications.
Please go through this thread also for further reference.
