 Posted: Fri May 18, 2007 8:08 pm Post subject: Tabs or Multiple Windows on a Form |
 |
|
The form I will be using will have quite a bit of information per record and I would like to use multiple tabs like in this picture:

Can someone point me in the right direction how I can achieve this?
Thank you |

DiGro,
I have the same problem. But I can not figure out how to create tabs for additional informatino in my forms. And I would also like to adjust the tab order to to go through each tab as I am entering data into the database.
The links you provided don't seem to have much of this information, and the link your provided for the PDF file references other links which are broken. Is there any tutorials on how to create tabs in OO Base? That would just be so helpful, I can't believe nobody has written a tutorial on this feature.
Thanks for your assistance! |

Enhance the Page(Step) value for each tab

Well, I don't know if the taborder is set from say Tab1 to Tab20 or separate for each Tab (starting from 1 each Tab)

Sorry for that but since it is an older file ..... But it is the only file I could find regarding MultiPage forms. There is (still) no such form available within OOo, so you will still have to built your own, as described in the PDF

IIRC: Sorry, nope

You better believe it. And yes it would be helpful indeed

As was said already. Base forms do not have a tabbed control as there is in Access or as there is in the OOo dialogs. YET.
There are a couple of examples of things people have done to simulate this, they can be found on the forum I think under the API list..but maybe it is the calc list.
For the question about setting the TAB order of controls you do that by:
Open the form navigator. It is the fourth tool button from the left on the Form Design tool bar.
Right click on the form you want to set the tab order for and select Tab Order from the context menu.
