New Tab sequence doesn't work on Receivers Line Scroll (GP2010)

Posted on by Jerry Higgins 751

I've modified the Line Scroll (line items) section of the POP_Receivings_Entry form by adding two new objects (a button and a textbox). Then I set a new tab sequence that included the two new objects. 

When in Modifier using Preview Mode, the tab sequence moves in proper order.  But when I start GP and open the Receivers window, the tab sequence is competely out of whack.

I'm using Visual Studio Tools for GP.  I know that I can code focus changes using .Focus() methods, but I'd rather not go that route.

Is there any reason the tab order is not applied, or ignored?

    I ended up having to use code to force focus from one field to the next.  Not a preferred fix, but it was the best I could come up with at the time.

    My apologies. The issue is in SOP line detail window & I am using Modifier. I have the tab seq set for a few fields and the right (or next) scroll button at the bottom of the window is where this starts. Once you hit 'next', you get prompted to save, delete, or cancel. Clicking or using enter key to go 'save' works, but does not restart the tab sequence as I have set it. It saves the data, but goes back to default tab sequence.

    Thank you so much for helping!

    where you added fields on header or detail(scrolling window)? Using Modifier or Dexterity?

    Hello! Did you get a resolution on this? I've got a similar scenario in SOP where a 'save' comes into play. Once I click (or enter) the screen clears but the tab sequence doesn't start over, it goes back to default. Almost like the tab sequence only works when you open the window the first time. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Jerry,  

    Sometimes in scrolling windows, GP will have code that moves the focus to certain fields.  This is the focus field statement in dexterity.  When GP does this, it overrides the tab sequence.  I know that we do this in SOP Entry and PO Entry.  In those cases, just changing the tab order usually isn't enough and you have to use focus statements to get the focus where you want.
