Here's a simple version of what we do.
First, you want a general method of finding at runtime a reference to the tab
control on which the current tab page sits:
// of_getparentTab( ref oTab type u_tab )
boolean bRet = True
powerObject lpoParent, lpoPrevParent
// Loop to get the parent of this object.
lpoParent = this.GetParent()
Do While lpoParent.TypeOf() <> Tab! And IsValid( lpoParent )
lpoPrevParent = lpoParent
lpoParent = lpoParent.getParent()
Loop
If Not IsValid( lpoParent ) Then
SetNull( oTab )
bRet = False
Else
oTab = lpoParent
End If
Return bRet
Next, you want all pages to be objects with the same inheritance � say, u_my_tabPg
which inherits in turn from u_tabPg. Then having found the parent tab with a call to
of_getParentTab(), you can find the required tab page instance of u_my_tabPg in
oTab�s control array as oTab.control[ N ] where N is the number of the desired tab
page.
So, if you want something from a DW on tab page 3 �
u_tab oTab
u_my_tabPg oTabPg
u_dw oDw
int iTabPage = 3 // tab page 3
If of_getParent( oTab ) Then
oTabPg = oTab.control[ iTabPage ]
oDw = oTabPg.u_name_of_DwControl
value = oDw.getItem� etc
End If
As you can see, this can be generalised further by giving each page an instance array
of its own DW controls, and turning the above code snippet into a parameterised
method.
