Re: Forms 5.0:Tab Canvas confusion

Hey Phil,

Moving fields to different tab canvases should be no problem. I've recently pushed lots of fields amongst a tabbed canvas, and amongst multiple tabbed canvases.

The only thing that sounds familiar is that I had to use SHOW_VIEW('Tab_Canvas_Name') on WHEN-FORM-ACTIVATE trigger (or WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE) since my canvases only appear when 'raise on entry'(when an item on the canvas is navigated to).

That's if you're losing them in runtime, if your losing them at design time, I've only done this by hand, not with wizards or automation.

In the Navigator...

   Add a canvas, set it's type property to TAB,

      set it's Window property to an existing window.    Add a tab page under this canvas, add as many as you need.    Set a block item's Canvas and Tab Page properties to the new tab

      canvas.
   Double-click the form_canvas (or: view your main canvas)

      Click View | Stacked Views - and select your canvas.
      The new canvas should appear - tab pages are shown even if
         there're no item's in them

Hope this helps, Rich
