Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Tabbed UI Show/Hide Buttons

    Tabbed UI

    Does anyone know how to make the show hide buttons work not just on the initial page load.

    I can get the buttons to show or hide but I want them to change to hide if certain criteria is met.

    i.e. once tab 1 is complete the tab 2 appears and once the user finishes tab 2, tab one would hide and so on.

    Is this all possible within a tabbed UI?

    See attached image...

    So apparently you will need to set a session variable at each step and use a corresponding expression for the buttons.

      Thanks Peter I can make it work the first time the page loads by doing that but I am trying to make them change show and hide on the fly, not just on load.

        Maybe you need to refresh the ui?

          That's the problem then the whole page reloads. I am just wanting the navigation buttons to refresh.

            I was able to make fields on a grid form show and hide dynamically based on the value of one of the fields without doing anything special to force a repaint. I eventually put the show/hide expressions into frames, but that was to make the appearance of the switch cleaner.

            Buttons on a tabbed UI should be a similar story, but perhaps you need to deal with the communication between the tabbed UI component and the places where the variable you are testing is set. From the description, you want the page on each tab to set a variable in the tabbed UI or in the page that hosts the tabbed UI to trigger the show/hide for the next page.

              Martin,

              Yes, the show/hide in V10 is much better than the show/hide in V9. I was especially happy to find that I could put a bunch of fields in a container and show or hide them as a group rather than having to do them one by one. For example, if payment method is "check" then I can hide all the credit card fields with one entry.

              In this case, the desire is to have the tabbed UI buttons recognize the change in a session variable when an event in a grid in the tabed UI fires and have the buttons show/hide based on the value of that variable. From testing, looks like they don't.

              So, next idea is to change the variable and then do a button refresh() if we can get a pointer to the buttons. Do you know how to do that?

                I don't know offhand; I'd have to play with it. I have three or four ideas, but I don't know which of them will work.
