Using tab control on an entry form

[alexdp]

Hello to all,

I wonder if it is possible to implement a tab control user interface in nuBuilder. If so, is there a tutorial or detail instruction on how to proceed? If not, what alternative approach should I use to avoid scrolling down a long entry form?

Since there are many fields to manage, a tab control would make things easier. Here is screen capture of this using MS Access.

Hi,

Yes, this is possible. At the top right of your Edit Form, there is an Options icon. Clicking this will display the Options Menu. Select the item "Form Properties"

In this Grid you can add the tab names.

Tabs are arranged horizontally above the editable area of an Edit Form.
Tabs allow users to navigate (what seems like) different layers on the same Form.

Excellent. Thank you again.

Note: I checked the documentation (wiki) and researched the forum but could not find anything relevant to how to implement tab control. What is the best way to find answers to my quetions beside you guys in this forum?

Apart from the Forum and Wiki, there is also a Youtube channel with "How to.." videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/nuBuilder/videos
And the User Guide (v3 only) can be useful too: https://www.nubuilder.com/storage/pdf/n ... rGuide.pdf (Note that many things have changed in version 4)

Otherwise, feel free to ask your questions here...
