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.

    TabbedUI - Default Pane

    Hi,
    Where do I set the default Pane/Grid to load for the TabbedUI.

    I want the TabbedUI to open and a grid in the tabbedUI grid.

    I cannot find the settings anywhere...

    If you can't find it (because I don't think there is one), instead put your grid in an A5W page and make that page the Home Page URL in Properties.

      You can actually trick this one out. Your tabbed ui has buttons on it that open a pane and, let say, a grid. That button actually runs a function that does that work. You can find the code to that button in its onclick event. Copy the function, without the "return" stuff and put it into the tabbed ui property "Javascript - Javascript to run on startup". That should do it.

            Re: TabbedUI - Default Pane

            I'm still struggling with this. i placed the .a5w page as the 'home' page for the tabbed you UI. which happens to be a users profile. however, if user 1) tries to navigate away with unsaved changes, or 2) make changes
            1) the pages doesnt prompt upon navigation away that there is unsaved data
            2) the "submit/save" button doesn't activate if the user makes the record dirty...

            I could go back to putting this on its own tab, but i really dont want to have it separate.
            any ideas on how to make this work?
            thanks

              i thought this might work, however, i got a little bit confused with too much code and what i 'shouldn't' use...

                Re: TabbedUI - Default Pane

                This is an extract from the Web Video details

                When you open a Grid component in a Tabbed UI pane, if you then try to close the tab pane when the Grid is dirty, you get a warning that the Grid is dirty and you have to either save the Grid or abandon the changes. This behavior is 'built-in' to the Tabbed UI.

                However, if you open an .A5W page in a Tabbed UI pane (that contains a Grid, or multiple Grids, for that matter), there is no built-in checking before a Tabbed UI pane is closed. These videos show how you can you own custom coding to trap if the Tab pane is 'dirty' and prevent it from closing.


                The code works by setting an arbitrarily named property of the Tabbed UI object called 'gridIsDirty'

                The two videos under the number 93 reference are:

                  Re: TabbedUI - Default Pane

                  Here's a quick, no audio, video of how to accomplish this by using the same function call that Alpha Five uses.

                  The video shows the following...

                  To show what's going on, I'm just publishing and opening the A5W page that was created for the Tab UI - I have to login in first - but then the TabUI displays and the 2nd Grid button is automatically fired and the grid displays.

                  Then I right click the Grid Button I was to see the function call for and then click Inspect Element. Firebug will open (you need Firebug and be running Firefox) and will show you the code executed. You're looking for something that looks like this...

                  Code:
                  action_tbi_48d081ef_da16_46f3_a936_bd1d4a0ec1bc(); return false;
                  Click on this area and it will be highlight, then you can right-click and copy.

                  Then, back into your TabUI, into Tabbed UI Properties, and into Javascript - Javascript to run on startup. In this section put the code you copied out of Firebug, but only the function call...

                  Code:
                  action_tbi_48d081ef_da16_46f3_a936_bd1d4a0ec1bc();
                  That's it. Now... when the Tabbed UI runs, the Javascript runs and fires off the same code that runs when you click that grid button.
