Tabs as Navigation

Does anyone have experience using tabs as a navigation page in portal 10g? Or incorporating tabs with templates? This has been problematic for me. I created a nav page as a region with tabs in it; on each tab I've added a single page portlet for the initial landing page for each tab.
I want to add vertical navigation links on some of the tabs that reference sub-pages of the initial landing page they are currently on. So when a user selects a vertical nav link within a particular tab, I want the user to remain on the same tab, preserve the vertical navbar, but load the subpage selected.
I am using the same template for the inital landing page and all subpages. I've experimented with defining a region as a sub-page links region, and this works except, once a user lands on a sub-page, the vertical navigation is gone. And I need it to remain.
Also, I want to embed direct access url's in content blocks that link to sub-pages of the current page. But no matter how I've tried with templates, I can't get the page that loads from clicking the url to display within the tab. Is this possible?
Any advice on working with tabs is appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

The website seems to be quite old and outdated. It could be a website HTML/JS issue. This means that the developer of that website will have to be the one to fix that. This is quite odd though. If you want i can try to contact someone who is more knowledgeable on this subject.

11g Forms Tab-Page Navigation

I am using Forms 11g on Solaris.
A main navigator form opens another form which has a content canvas, tab-page canvas and (3) stacked canvases.
The problem I am having is with tab-page navigation.     CTRL+TAB ( next ) and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB ( previous )
As long as I do not initiate navigation from an item on a stacked canvas, navigation is as expected ( between tab pages only ).
However, navigating from an item within a stacked canvas causes navigation to the parent form.
Repeating the tab navigation keys from the parent form returns to the called form.
Note that both key-combinations simply toggle back and forth.
I have found no documentation on tab-page navigation so any help / insight is greatly appreciated !
Mike

Hi Soofi !
Changing block order in the called form does not affect the navigation between tab pages.
Note in my question that the resulting undesired navigation is to and from the calling form ( which only has one block ).
Navigation between items and blocks works as expected.
To reiterate -
     The only navigation that fails is when I attempt to CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to another tab page from within an item on a stacked canvas.
     Attempting this navigation results in moving the cursor focus to the calling form.
     Repeating the attempt from the calling form moves back to the called form.
     None of your methods mention navigation between forms .
Thanks for your interest.

Tabs in navigation page (Tabs persistance problem)

Hello all,
I'm looking for a workaround of tab persistence (the problem in post URGENT! TAB + Folder navigation Problem )
; is it possible, somehow, to make a navigation page with tabs, and in those tabs some kind of auto-redirection to the actual pages ? Or any other way using tabs? I just want to avoid image-map style navigation. This tab persistance feature is sooo anoying...
Please help

Hello
I gave it up using tabs for navigation issue. There are too many problems with that. Now I'm using URL-items within navigation pages and that works fine...
Cheers,

Regarding Tab key Navigation in a page

Hi,
I have a requirement regarding the tab key navigation on a page.
Suppose the focus is on the last field of a page, on clicking the tab key i should go to the first field in the page not the url. i tried using tab index, but the problem is that after coming back to the first field from the last field, on clicking on tab again it does not go on as usual, it suddenly jumps to the url from there.

Krishna

OK Here is what I have ...
public class MultipleEditorsPerColumnJTable extends JTable {
/** Creates a new instance of MultipleEditorsPerColumnJTable */
public MultipleEditorsPerColumnJTable( int the_column) {
this.myColumn = the_column;
this.rowEditors = new ArrayList();
setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, Collections.EMPTY_SET);
setFocusTraversalKeys(KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS, Collections.EMPTY_SET);
protected boolean processKeyBinding(KeyStroke ks, KeyEvent e,int condition, boolean pressed) {
boolean isSelected = false;
if (ks == KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,0)) {
int selRow = getSelectedRow();
int rowCount = getRowCount();
int selCol = getSelectedColumn();
if (selCol == 1) { isSelected= getCellEditor(selRow,selCol).stopCellEditing();}
int targetRow = (selRow + 1) % rowCount;
this.editCellAt(targetRow, 1);
this.getComponentAt(targetRow, 1).requestFocus();
return super.processKeyBinding(ks,e,condition,pressed);
I think I know why the requestFocus() is not working. OK, I have a MultipleEditorsPerColumnJTable (sub of JTale), JTextPane, JButton and JLabel. The textpane, label and button have individual editors and renderers. Each time I want to display a new Row, I re-render these components and add it to the table.
Now with the above code, it still navigates to the next component in the row/ first column in next row depending on the current column. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Praveen.

Tab Style Navigation Bar for Pages in Page group

Hi
Is there a way to create a tab style navigation bar for a group of pages that will appear at the top of a page?
Regards
Harry

You might try using Language_Switcher Language Switcher while working on the English page. That might allow you to create the navbar in English.
Otherwise you could use a text based navbar like in this demo page: Text Based Navbar

Tab Key Navigation in JTable

Hello All,
Can anyone please help me with Tab key navigation in a JTable.I
read all the messages in this group but couldn't implement one.It
would be a great help if anyone can provide me a working example of how
to control the tab key in the JTable. I have a JTable with some of the
columns not editable, I want the focus to be in the first cell and
whenever the TAB key is pressed, the focus should go to next editable
cell and select the data in it.For example: if you take a simple table of 4 columns with column 2 not editable, The focus should begin with the first cell(1st column,1st row) and goto (3rd column,1st row) whenever TAB is pressed.It should work in reverse when SHIFT-TAB is pressed.
I'm new to Java Swing.I would greatly appreciate if anyone can provide me a working example.
Thanks in advance,
siddu.

Tabbing (Next Navigation Item) to different frames/datasets on a canvas?

How can I set the tab order to tab between frames on my form? In the properties palette for an item, the Next Navigation Item field, I can only choose items in the same dataset. What if I wanted to mix and match the fields from say 2 different datasets so they show up together in a frame and have consistent tabbing?
Also, I have set up a join relationship between 2 datasets on a canvas but when I insert record it only inserts 1 set and not the info from the other but when I query info that was already in the dataset it shows up fine on both sets??? Please help. Thanks alot

To achieve cross-block navigation, here is what I do:
For forward tabbing as well as automatic skipping to same field, create a hidden navigable item following the item, and on that item, create a when-new-item-instance trigger with a go_item command. (For hidden navigable, it must be on the same canvas. Just set its height and width to zero.)
For shift-tab (reverse navigation), use a key-prev-item trigger on the second item with a go_item back to the first item.

How to remove the tabs based navigation bar?

I am trying out my hand in portal and i have successfully deployed a sample portal(
Hot deploy didnt work by the way!). I have a few pages say home, account, messages
in the portal. Now, what I want is when I click a link on account page, the top
tab based navigation bar should disappear until I complete certain steps on the
account page( say, create an account which spans over 2 pages). Only after creation
of account should i see the tabs again.. is it possible?

The files you are looking for to change are located under the framework directory
in your application. The file hportal.inc or vportal.inc has a link to the hnav_bar
or vnav_bar file. So, you can check if certain criteria has happened and then
show the links or not show them. Whichever navbar url you included in the EBCC
tells you which file you should look in

Tabstrip control Tab line navigation button display issue

I have a tabstrip that has more tabs than can be displayed at the top of the tabstrip control. When this happens a navigation button appears on the far right of the tab line( the line that contains all the tabs). This has been working fine for several years. Recently I needed to increase the width of the tabstrip control so that it was 160 character wide. Now when the tabstrip displays, the tab line stops displaying at around 130 characters so the navigation button no longer shows. As it turns out, the button is still there and functions as normal, except that it cannot be seen even though there are still too many tabs to all be displayed.
This appears to me to be a bug in the tabstrip control, but before I start complaining to SAP I thought I would ask here to see if anyone else might know of a solution to this problem.
Thanks for looking.

Hi,
cresate a managed bean in viewScope within the parent page and pass it as an argument to the child task flow. The managed bean contains/exposes a method to hide the menu items you don't want to show (or just disable them). The child task flow then can call the managed bean (from its input parameter reference) and invoke the method (e.g. in a method call activity as the default activity of the task flow).

Multi-Tab Canvas Navigational Controls

I want to control navigation out of a block displayed on a "tab" canvas to other "tabs" in a form containing multiple tab canvases. Are ther any "events triggers" associated with the "tab" level similar to the "WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED" trigger such as "WHEN_TAB_SELECTED"?
I assume I must place the triggers on the block (or blocks) associated with the respective tabbed canvases.
null

The trigger must be placed at the form level. Use "if :system.cursor_block = 'BLK'"
to code for each tab.

Tab Canvas Navigation

Hello,
In the form I have 2 blocks, Activities and Parts, both split between 2 tabs.
On tab1 I have the blocks' items and on tab2 the mirrors of them which synchronize with main items.
Now, when I move from one block to the other the tab page changes.
I store block and tab page into parameters and set them at runtime time accordingly in the validation, delete/insert recs triggers, so It pretty much stays on the right page, but sometimes when I move up and down, or when no validation occurs the tab page changes.
Plus, if I use timers(ugly method) for go_item in validation triggers the focus is not going where I instruct. I know the focus is lost on When-Timer-Expired trigger, but why is not executing go_item, or better said is going to the item but I have to press a key to see the focus?
Any idea would be appreciated to help me fix this nasty navigation.
Thanks,
Monica

Now that I renamed my tab1 as 3, upon entering the block it is first navigating to tab3.The form doesn't navigate to a tab, it navigates to the "focused" item, means the item where the cursor is placed on. So, if you want another tab to shown by default, you have to order the items in your block so that the first navigable item is visible on tab1.

Problem with tab-key navigation

I am making chanegs to an existing form.
I have a tab canvas with 3 tabs, each contains a data block, and other data blocks outside of the tab canvas.
I wanted the tab key to move the cursor to the next record so I changed the navigation style from "Change Block" to "Change Record", but it did not help. When the cursor is a on a record of a multi-record block and I tab through the items to the last one, pressing the tab key leads me to another tab-page.
I put in some debug code and noticed that the WHEN-TAB-CHANGED trigger did not fire. The WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger fired and the cursor block and record number were correct.
After the tab key took me to another tab-page and I navigated back to the original tab-page. Even though it looks like I'm on the correct tab page, SYSTEM.cursor_block was NOT correct, it was pointing to another data block outside of the tab canvas.
I checked other forms on our system and I'm pretty sure that changing the navigation style to "Change Record" would work. Perhaps there's something peculiar about this form.
Any idea will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Found the problem.
For some reason, the WHEN-NEXT-ITEM trigger of the last item of the record is hard-coded to go the another block.

Tab Page Navigation Problem???

Hi All:
I am facing problem with tab page. when I save some record at the last tab then it moves towards its previous tab page. May be navigation becomes wrong.Record is saved. What would be the solution? Can anyody tell me. Thanks
Ali

Just two wonders...:
1) Are the blocks ordered in the Object Navigator ... as they appear in the tabs of your tab canvas...????
2) Is there in the 'save trigger' or in other place (which take place in the save process) a "go_item(<itemname_of_the_previous_tab>)" or "go_block(<block_resides_in_the_previous_tab>)"...????
Greetings....

Safari 8. Tab Menu & Navigation Bar

Safari 8 no longer displays the web address of the page being viewed this is extremely annoying ! Its a pain on an iPhone using iOS but ridiculous on a Mac !
Also, we now have a silly arrangement for the tabs. In the previous version of safari it was clear if there were more tabs open than displayed as a little list button appeared on the far right of the tab bar, click that & a list of all open tabs not currently displayed would appear. Simple, neat & tidy.
Now the penultimate 3 tabs reduce in size - not the lat one because that would be too obvious. So it is not clear at a glance what additional tabs, if any, are open. This is made even less obvious by the fonts, font size, colour & fine boarders being employed by Apple in some sort of stealth mission to make applications as difficult to use as possible. Oh, it doesn't end there though, oh no ! If you want to select one of the hidden tabs you have two choices.
1. Slide the tab bar which exposes the hidden tabs hiding the previously exposed list - making it a real pain for anyone switching between tabs.
2. Use the gimmicky tab view (used to be recents - which didn't really have much point).
So the questions are:
1. How can I have the web address of the page I'm viewing displayed (at all times) in the navigation bar, as thats what it's for guys !
2. How can I have a simple drop down list of open tabs as per the previous version of Safari & get rid of the utterly pointless tab view & recents views which only serve to waste space & processor cycles ? I want to actually get some work done, I'm intelligent enough to be able to select what I want from a list of items, I really don't need pretty pictures presented 6 at a time.

It's not in General, but in Advanced on my computer. Four-finger swipe doesn't work on my MBP. Neither does Fn-F10. I did set it to swap Fn-F10 with F10, but F10 doesn't work either.
I used the menu you got by clicking the little icon at top, right corner to reveal all hidden tabs. Now I can't figure out how to access the hidden tabs efficiently. What a pain. The only good part about this is that it will encourage me to close tabs I don't actively use.
