How do you 'ThrowFocus' into a subform?

Is this possible?

Is it still possible if the subform occupies the entire page on a tabpage? (Will the tabpage automatically open as it does when focus is sent to a basic LE?)

Thanks,
Steve

Still need a way to 'throwfocus' into the first field of a line-items subform.

If the subform is on a tab page, will the page automatically 'flip open'?

Thanks for the help!

Steve

Steve,

As a last resort, maybe you could include @macro() in your programming to call a macro that selects the tab page, then clicks in the subform element you want to go to.

Nice! I never thought of that.

Could a macro also be called to push a command button?

I'm not too familiar with macros, but at this point I'm ready to learn them.

Thanks for your help!

I don't see why not. That's the good thing about a macro - it can do almost anything you would do. The bad part is that it will do it blindly, regardless of the circumstances. In other words, you can't have it do it's thing based on "If... Then..." type criteria.

Great to hear. I made an attempt at using a macro to push a button, but it crashed Sesame each time. I guess I had some bad programming in there.

I'll give it a closer look now that you mentioned it.

Thanks again for your help! I'll post my results here when I'm done.

Steve,

Just to let you know, I ran a test using @macro() in programming to "push" a command button (being another element on the same form), and it worked fine. So, you should be able to do this.

I'd be interested in seeing the code that accomplished this, if you folks would be so kind.  My email is Info@jamiara.com.  Thanks!

Hey Capt'n,

The macro simply contained a single mouse-click on the command button. But, you'd probably be better off to just include whatever programming is in the button, right in the code that would be calling it via a macro.

I don't know exactly why Steve asked about using a macro to "push a command button". His original question was regarding throwing focus to a table-view subform. If you are trying to throw focus to a table-view subform, the following code is what I have been using to do that.

Code
Select All
@Macro("Data\Click on Transactions Subform.mac")
FormResultSetCurrentPosition ("Transactions", @FormResultSetTotal("Transactions"))

The macro contains a single mouse-click at the top of the subform, above the column that I want highlighted. (Not on the name of the LE, but in the blank space above it.) The second line causes the highlight to be in the very last row at the bottom of the subform. This makes it convenient to use the down arrow to move to a new blank row, so I can add a new line-item (or transaction, in this case).

I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase it?

You can't in the current version of Sesame, but there is hope. Mark has informed us that macros in version 2 will be "human readable/editable". See the second post in this thread:

Hello Carl

Thank you for the feedback. Sorry Carl, now i know that my englisch is still not gut enough (my 4th language).  
Now i tray it again to let you know that i ran a  @macro() in programming to push a command button form the TabPage1. The macro muss throwfocus to TabPage2 and open a programmed ComboBox.

The macro simply contained two mouse-click on the command button but it does not do what expected.
It go somewhere else on another Tabpage or another LE!
 
can be the raison that Comboboxes on other tabPages in almost the same localisation (superposition )?

Thanks for your help!

If I understand you correctly, the macro is just clicking twice on a command button that is on TabPage1. Based on this assumption, I would answer yes to your question above.

You will need to re-record the macro to include a mouse-click on TabPage1 first, then on the command button.
