Tab page question

I have a Sesame 1.4 form with several tab pages.
Using a custom menu, is there a way to enter search mode and display a tab page other than the first one?

Your button could set a Global Variable (GV) and open the desired form.
You could put programming in FormEntry to check the GV.
If GV exists, you could Clear the GV, and then ThrowFocus to the first element on that tab.

To expand on that idea, you could have the button prompt you for the desired tab (or separate buttons for each tab), and could set GV to different values.  The OnFormEntry program could ThrowFocus to different Tabs, based on the value of GV.

As a below-average Sesame user, that will take a little research, but I get the idea.  From Alton to Salem, thanks.

From Salem to Alton, should I be adding your name to SANE invitations?

You may want to consider using Sesame 2.0 it has lots of great new features and the new  GotoTabPage() command will make doing what you want a breeze! Smiley

The GotoTabPage command displays the specified tab page in the specified tab group. It takes two arguments: the destination tab group and the tab page number within that group to go to.

Example


If ProductID > 1000
{
     GotoTabPage(LE17, 4)
}


In above example, the Static Tab Set is named "LE17" and the goto tab page is "TabPage4".

Now where have I seen this before?   Wink

See my post of August 8 as to why the 4 may not be (and probably isn't) "TabPage4"

I guess I passed the Alton test since you asked to be included.

And you passed the test.  You found out what SANE is, so now you are on the mailing list. 

See you at our next meeting on Nov 3.
