Hi group

I try to make a Global field change base on the selected tab.

I Have try a Global calculation field and a standard calculated field, same
result....

I wanna know what TAB is currently selected using this formula, I have
assign object name to corresponding tabs

Case (
GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "tab_1"; "isFrontTabPanel")=1;"Tab 1";
GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "tab_2"; "isFrontTabPanel")=1;"Tab 2";
GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "tab_3"; "isFrontTabPanel")=1;"Tab 3";
GetLayoutObjectAttribute ( "tab_4"; "isFrontTabPanel")=1;"Tab 4";"NULL")

When changing from layout to browse, it work, but only one time..... has I
change tab, the result don't change (in both Global and regular field)
I use don't store result and uncheck "do no evaluate if all ..... empty."
with or wiyhout, same result.

If anyone have a better idea ?

Basicly what I wanna do, is change a global field base on the selected tab
and that global field is use as a "key" for a filter in a relationship for
portal in each tab. This technic will prevent me from creating many global
field with many sub-relationship (about 12 relationships)

It work fine when I use it in a script, but since we can't assign a button
on top of a Tab without many sizing and "gizmo" abracadabra and changing
design I can't see another way of doing this ??

Any one have a clue ??

Thank you

It work, sorry, but when I put a field with the test result in it, it don't
change display, the containt stay the same, but the actual value
change....... then the display value is refresh when there's a redraw
screen.... if you look a my previous post "
Flickering FM" the display only change when this is hapenning...... and
that's why yesterday it's was'nt, I was working from home and the same
software with the same setup is not freaking me out like the one at my job
!!

Thank you
