related record count in tab's

[Harjo]

I have a customer-detail view with related tabpanel beneath it with, contacts, offers, invoices, etc..etc..

Hi, I want to show the number of related records in the Tab's of every related tabpanel, so you don't have to click on a tabpanel to see if there are related records.

What is the most effecient-way to do this?
Is it advice-able?

I would use the databaseManager.hasRecords(Object foundset/relatedFoundset) function for this.
No need to get the record count.
If I am correct this is less expensive way to check if you have records.

I am now doing it this way: http://forum.servoy.com/viewtopic.php?t ... =count+tab

And it looks quite fast, but I don't know for sure, because I am using this local now!

you could try setTitleAtIndex (or something like that) of a tabpanel wit hte parents onrecord selection

Yes, but that has a disadvantage that is not updates instantly when you browse through the main records.

The way I do it now, is very nice, because numbers are instantly updated, even when client add new records.

What I don't know is this is killing my system when I have 25-50 users on my server.

by using that tag of setting the relation.count on the title?
This doesn't have any real effect on how many users there are this is pure a client thing. Except one thing and that is that the foundsets are loaded for all tabs the for every record. And if you didn't go to them for a record they didn't have to be loaded yet.
But this doesn't have to mean that it is expensive.
