Cannot export from or import to a form that is on a tabpanel

Classic Servoy
1

I have several forms located on a tabpanel. When I try to import or

export using the Servoy pull down menu items located under the File pull

down menu, I get errors. In particular, if I try to export from any one of

the forms that is not the first form, the “Dataproviders for table” field is

set to the table that is associated with the first form and not to the table

that is associated with the currently selected form on the tabpanel.

Is there a way to call the import and export button functions

programmatically so that I can controll who has access to these functions.

I currently run the application in the kiosk mode with a custom controller.

Servoy 3.17 on Windows XP platform, JRE 1.5 and using the smart client

Thank you in advance for your assistance. - Ron M.

The default import and export functions can only be turned on and off programmatically and they only scope to the top level form as you have discovered.

You can use the file plugin functions to create your own imports and exports. As simple or complex as you need.
