In converting a 5-page DOS form to 9.5, the conversion facility created a very nice tabbed form with 5 tabs. In DOS, pressing ENTER in the last field on page 1 would take me to the first field on page 2. Does anyone know how to duplicate this functionality in RB Win 9.5?
Having the proper Tab Control Component ID along with unique Component ID for each Tab Page, you could easily accomplish the task of programmatically switching to appropriate page (PAGEINDEX) and then place the focus on desired field (SET_FOCUS). -- Example 01: -- Switching the Page and Setting Focus on Field (Enhanced Tab Control) PROPERTY <EnhancedTabControlComponentID> ACTIVEPAGEINDEX '3' PROPERTY <DBVarControlComponentID> SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' RETURN Where: <EnhancedTabControlComponentID> is the Component ID assigned to Enhanced Tab Control ACTIVEPAGEINDEX '3' will switch the focus to 4th (Tab) page of the Enhanced Tab Control 0 = 1st Page 1 = 2nd Page 2 = 3rd Page 3 = 4th Page 4 = 5th Page and so on ... <DBVarControlComponentID> is the unique Component ID assigned to any DB Edit or Variable Edit Control SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' will set the focus (cursor) to that particular field. That's all there is to it! For more details and examples, refer to R:Docs 9.5. Remember, R:BASE for Windows 9.5 is not your grandfather's oldsmobile.
