Hi

it's it possible to make in FM8.5 a Tab Control field with many Tab and
blocking acces to one Tab unless a criteria is valid ?? (If
validation;GoObject tab1;GoObject tab2)

I try to draw a button above the Tab itself and make a validation using
GoToObject, but when pressing the button, it select the Tab under the button
no matter what is the order (Front or Back).

Is it possible ? or another way around ?

Thank you

JF

You have to work around that. Create a global field for each of the tabs you
need to go to. Place one field one each tab. Make it as small as possible.
(font 1 point). In your script use a <go to field> step. For this one you
could also use a repeating field, placing just one repetition on each tab
then with your script also defining to wich repetition it should go.

Sorry but I don't get it ?? maybe your right but I dont get how putting a
small small field on the tab will prevent me accessing this tab ??

I know how to scipt and get to the right Tab, when I want from anywhere....
but I want to block acces to one tab, and only give acces if a validation is
true ?? so when the tab is press it alway go to that tab, no matter what I
put above it ? if it's like the tab have priority on every thing else.....

Sorry,

I have understood your question wrong. I don't think you can actualy block
one tab of a tab-object. The one thing I can think about is creating a
duplicate layout. Where everything looks the same, but where the fields on
the tab you want to be blocked are greyed out and inaccesable for
data-entry. Then a script could figure out where to go.

I realise this is not what you asked, but just might do the trick.

You can have far more control of tabs by using a combination of tabs and
buttons.

The way it works is that you set the tabs to use a very small font -- 1pt --
and a single space character as the text label for each tab. Set the text
color to the same as the background color, and the border to none. Give each
tab a name using the object inspector. Then you set up buttons to be the
actual means of navigation to the tabs, using scripts, calculations, and the
go to layout object script step.

This method lets you control which tabs are "enabled" and also permits
things like having a vertical arrangement of tabs and other flexibility.

So you don't see the original tab because they are so small, you fake some
new tabs with buttons !! wow ! this is why this forum exist ! Great mind
