I don't know if this is possible but we have a TabbedGridLinker and the parent (WorkGrid) has a DetailView so we can change various fileds in this file. The # of fields are large. See DetailView.jpg
As you can see the Linking fields are correctly defined in WOTabbedGridLinker.jpg
It works but VERY clumsily....
If you click the WO# in the Grid, the Detail View shows & a user can change the fields.
BUT here lies the problem. The tabs DO not get FOCUS on the same WO # so if they doesn't watch it, labour/parts costs can be added to the WRONG WO#.
Stay with me.
As you see in "LabourTab01" is0 still is on the previous WO # so a user MUST go to the top grid & click the little arrow to the left of the WO #. Now the focus is the correct WO # See LabourTab02.
Only way he knows if the tabs are NOW focused is to view the colour of the arrow in top screeen to see which WO # has focus.
It is confusing because a user is NOT sure if he is adding the labour to the correct Work Order.
Once he saves the labour record, the WO# is put in. Everything OK...
We could NOT find any example of a GRID with Detail View Updateable connected to a TabbedLinker in the AlphaSports sample.
We would ideally like to have it so if a user clicks on the WO # in the top grid the Detail View pops up and the FOCUS in the tabs in the bottom part also goes to that SAME WO #.
Any help, suggestions is VERY much appreciated.
BIG thanks!!!
