Tabpages and Redraw
|
|
|
| I have a tab control with multiple pages. At one point I want to be
able to access all the data - selecting each tab but have this not
shown to the user. The SelectTab function switches the display. How can
I get the tab_1.SelectTab(my_tab) not to be displayed!!! I tried
setting the SetRedraw(False) on the tab control, on the window,
everywhere but it still displays!! Suggestions?

| Hi Lisa,
Are the data in your tabs in datawindow controls in those tabs? And by
being able to access the data, are you just reading it or do you plan on
modifying it through code?

| Hi Phillip
The data is in datawindow controls and I just want to read the data. My
problem is that I have various functions in the tabs which will
retrieve the data based upon the 'selected tab'. And there lies the
problem - I need to select the tab but not show it....

| Hi Lisa,
Why not perform a directly datawindow retrieve where you need to without
calling the tab functions at all? Let's say you have two tabs, each one
with a datawindow control: tab_1 with dw_1 and tab_2 with dw_2. The window
has been opened as well as the tabs within the window. Let's say the
currently selected tab is tab_1. Even though tab_2 isn't selected, you
could still do:
string ls_column_1
tab_control.tab_2.dw_2.settransobject(sqlca)
tab_control.tab_2.dw_2.retrieve()
ls_column_1 = tab_control.tab_2.dw_2.object.column_1[<some row>]

| Hi Phillip
Because each tab is inherited from a common user object. In that user
object is my function to retrieve the data based upon the tab that is
selected (retrieves different data based upon the tab)
