When I change the column order in a table view form (dragging columns by mouse or setting column location by code) the tabSeq is not automatically changing along with it.
You get a ‘strange’ user experience then when tabbing (tab key) through the columns.
Bug or wish ?
Servoy Version: 5.2.2 - build 1002
Regards,
I think it’s correct to keep the original tab-order if the user shuffles the columns, there could be a logic behind it so IMO it wouldn’t be good to change it on the fly.
We leave the column order to the end user (different functions, different wishes) and our logic is not dependent of the column order (as it shouldn’t)…
But since you can define the tab-order at design time I think it’s correct that Servoy doesn’t alter it when the user shuffles the columns. Maybe a good compromise would be to keep it in sync with the columns position only if there is no predefined tab-order set but I’m not sure if it’s possible to determine that. You could file a feature request in the support system but I don’t think this is a bug.
You can also define the column location at design time and still change it at run time…
I think a better discussion would be if there should be (an optional) cohesion between column location and column tab sequence.
