ON TAB procedure

[PrJlndni]

Hi, Good day!

I would like to ask if you know how to manually add a tab using "ON TAB" procedure. I mean, how can I manually manipulate the tabs in ABLProgress?

Please help. Thank you.

Do you mean something like this?:

ON TAB OF Customer.CustNum IN FRAME F1 DO:
    MESSAGE "Tab selected." VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
END.

or:

ON TAB OF FRAME F1 ANYWHERE DO:
    MESSAGE "Tab selected." VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
END.

 

[PrJlndni]

No Sir. What I mean is like this:

ON TAB OF field1 IN FRAME F1 DO:
FOCUS field3 IN FRAME F1.
END.

*I would like to jump to any fields. Not just stucking to the default level of tabbing.

 

[PrJlndni]

Is it possible Sir? All I know is that, FOCUS can only be used in WAIT-FOR Function.

Something like this then should work:

ON TAB OF field1 IN FRAME F1 DO:
    APPLY "ENTRY" TO field3 IN FRAME F1.
    RETURN NO-APPLY.
END.

Also, have a look at KEEP-TAB-ORDER which is used for frames as you may find that useful.

I'll try it right away Sir. Thank you.

Indeed, KEEP-TAB-ORDER helps Sir. Thanks a lot
