Hello Servoyers! A Newbie has some questions

We’re building a secretive app, so secretive that for now, our names are disguised. :)

We have a app on a different platform and are porting over to Servoy.

Question number one:

I’ve tried like mad to get rid of the tab panel engraving on whatever layout I put it one. I’ve messed with borders and all that. This may be obvious, but how can I make a tab panel NOT engrave (hope that’s the term)?

It goofs up our layout. See picture attachment.

Thanks

Hi Secretive Chico

Welcome to the wonderful world of Servoy.

When developing your app just about all elements can be handled through the ‘Properties’ panel. Go to Design mode - select the Tab panel then click ‘Transparent’ - if you can’t see the Properties panel activate it via the Elements menu option.

Providing your Tab Panel has a name you can also change the Properties (size, position, Tabs, Transparency) through Methods.

Also, look at the property settings of the form which is shown inside the tab panel as its borders can also affect the embossed or engraved look

Like harry already mentioned the issue is indeed the form loaded in the tabpanel. Go to that form and set the border to Empty.
You could also use the following stylesheet and apply that to your forms.

form
{
	border-style: solid;
	border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

Hope this helps.
