Hi all,

I want to open a specific tab page when the form is opened.

Requirement:

There is a goods receipt posted and this goods receipt is marked to create an inventory quality order. So after posting the InventQualityOrderTable form should be opened with a defined tab page...

I create an extension class of this InventQualityOrderTable form like:

[ExtensionOf(formStr(InventQualityOrderTable))]
public final class myInventQualityOrderTableFrm_Extension
{
    /// <summary>
    /// additional logic for init()-methode
    /// </summary>
    public void init()
    {
        next init();
 
        if (this.args() && this.args().caller())
        {
            FormTabPageControl ftc = this.design().controlName(formControlStr(InventQualityOrderTable, myQualityReasonTab)) as FormTabPageControl;
            ftc.setFocus();
        }
    }
}

The instanciation of FromTapPageControl works fine but the focus will not be set on this tab page, the opened tab page is standard tab...

Do I have to use another command?

I Just go through the Microsoft documentation and see all the available form and FormTabPageControl methods.

Form activate method will be called once the form gets focus - In a similar way I thought using activatePage method will solve your issue.

FormTabPageControlClass methods

Form methods

Thanks,

Hi Girish S,

This is the solution... thank you very much...

but with all due respect... You write.... Try to use the function activatePage(). Why didn't you write... You MUST use the activatePage() function. SetFocus() does not meet this requirement?

It must be defined which functions should/must be used for certain actions, right?

Is there a tutorial somewhere? Did you teach yourself? Do you know this from experience?

Hi Christian,

Try the same on the activate method on the form. Use activatePage method instead of setFocus.

[ExtensionOf(formStr(InventQualityOrderTable))] public final class myInventQualityOrderTableFrm_Extension { ///
/// additional logic for init()-methode ///
public void activate(boolean active) { next activate(active); if (this.args() && this.args().caller()) { FormTabPageControl ftc = this.design().controlName(formControlStr(InventQualityOrderTable, myQualityReasonTab)) as FormTabPageControl; ftc.activatePage(); } }

Thanks,

Girish S.
