Forms and tabpanels

I want to have a form with tabpanels on them.

There is no relationship between them!

How (can) I do that?

Currently not possible.
will be looked at in the future.

You can use the method Servoy used in the CRM demo.

Add a column to the tables you want to put in the tabpanels filled with a default value (like ‘1’).
Create a application-table with only 1 row that also have a column with that default value. Create a relationships and you are in business.
I know it’s a pain but this seems to be the only way.

I only wish we could create relationships from globals to tables as well. That way we could take get rid of the application-table method.

Yes, this is the FM way and I did this already. Don’t like it though… Certainly not for this purpose. Just show a table/form on a non-related-tab.

What’s the context between your main form and your unrelated tab?

side notes:
some things we’re giving thoughts for future releases

  • enter literal values directly in the lefthand key of a relation
  • attachment of multiple forms to one main form in a “html frame”-like style.

Bravo! :)

That sounds like more!

What I want to be able to do, I think that is what you are looking for, place overviews of different data on top of a general form. Navigation between these overviews would go via tabs.

Example: I would have a form with customers and a tab on that form that would hold forms for all agenda items and all orders etc. Not specifically related to that client…

  • attachment of multiple forms to one main form in a “html frame”-like style.

Wonderful!
Especially point 2. This is what I’m emulating right now.

It would be scary what you could do with this…
