Programatically set field tab sequence at runtime

Classic Servoy
1

Hi ALl

I have a form where I need to change the tab sequence of fields that I have rearranged using
elements.prdIcon.setLocation(1,1)
elements.fld_ordstart.setLocation(1,2)
elements.fld_ordpopid.setLocation(1,4) … etc in my form method

Now I need to make the tab sequence match the new sequence. I gather this can be doen via solution model, but cannot find the way to do this.
Can some please help with some sample code.
Many thanks
Mark

controller.setTabSequence() will do the trick.

Hi Paul

Controller.setTabSequence () is not working properly for me.

I am trying to update tab sequence of three fields in a form from [elem1, elem2, elem3] to [elem1, elem3, elem2].
I have attached following code to the on action event of a button.

controller.setTabSequence([elements.elem1, elements.elem3, elements.elem2]);

But, on clicking tab the control switches only between elem1 and elem3. It never goes to elem2. I am testing it with servoy 6.1.3.
Am I missing something?

Hi,

I faced this kind of problem few days back. I had four elements(three text field and a button) in a form and I had used

elements.<element-name>.setLocation(x,y)

to change the position of the elements and applying the tab sequence to those element accordingly on clicking of a button. I missed a one element from the tab sequence array in controller.setTabSequence([elementArray]) and got the same unexpected behavior as mention above by Lopamudra.

We need to pass all the element on the forms to the element-array to apply the tab sequence properly.

Hope this help

Thanks
