custom navigator problems

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all, I have a form with a custom navigator that’s behaving all wacky. The custom navigator uses a table view, and is based off of the same table as the main form (a record view form). When I view the form in design mode, the navigator pane is nearly 500px wide, but the navigator form itself is only 120px wide. When I view the form inside a related tabpanel, NO form is displayed. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong? I’ve followed the steps in the user guide…

Thanks in advance,
Aron

I am having the same problem with my custom navigator not showing when my form is in a tabpanel.

I created a table-view form name nav_orders with the order_id field on it.
Then I created a another form named nav_rec_orders and placed a tabpanel on it. I put nav_orders on that tabpanel.

I then selected nav_rec_orders as the custom navigator on my orders form. When I view the orders form, the navigator works as expected.

When I put the orders form on a tabpanel within my customers form, the navigator does not show up.

Am I missing a setting, or is this a bug?

@Aron: Can you create a case for this in our Support System with sample solution?

@popdizzle: Navigators are not supported inside tabPanels, except for the default navigator on forms in Record View inside tabPanels

Hi,
Quick workaround that may be useful:

set the Vertical Scrollbar of the Navigator form to “Never”

Ok, that explains why it’s not working. Looking at my examples from Adrian McGilly’s class, I see he did his own custom navigator on tabpanels and it’s all making sense now. That class continues to pay dividends. If you need a great boost to your Sevoy learning, check out his classes.
