Tab pages in forms v6i

Question

I compile forms using v6i. The forms are made with v6 and they have 2 TAB PAGES with the same block and first page is visible but the second page is not navigable with mouse.
Why doesn't work ? These forms v6 are correct.
Thank you.

Answer 1

When you click on a tab, if the cursor is in an item on the first tab page, the second won't come up. You have to move the cursor when the tab page is activated. (I'm not sure, but I have patch 13 installed, and this does not seem to be a problem any more. However my associates with an older version do have your problem.)
I use a when-tab-page-changed form-level trigger:
-- When-Tab-Page-Changed form-level trigger                        
Declare
  new_pg   varchar2(30) := :system.tab_new_page;
Begin
  If new_pg <> get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,item_tab_page) then
  -- cursor is on a different tab page.  Need to navigate to an item
  -- on the requested tab page.
    If new_pg = 'TAB2' then
      Go_item('B3.NAME');
    else -- TAB1 tab page
      Go_item('B1.KEY_NAME');
    end if;
  end if;
End;
