Tabbing controls on a form contained in a formset

[weedz]

Hi you'all,

I am currently using the follwing:

A formset with three forms:
- A toolbar a business object (invisible)
- A form used to show a list
- A form to show detailed data.

The detailed data is shown on containers on different pages of a pageframe.

I have the following odd behaviour.

When I show my data form (always after the list form), I can tab from control to control on the first page of the pageframe...but...when I reach the last control on page1 tabbing does not take me to another control but stops.

When using the back arrow key, it resumes its way back over the controls.

I have set the ReadCycle property of the formset set to .F. so that reaching the last control doesn't take me to the next form.

All suggestions are appreciated.

Probably not what you want to hear, but I would take the forms out of the formset and run them separately.

Wel, I have chosen the formset contruction so I can consider them as one object, so I have the list, the data form and the business object together, i have even added a fourth form being a lookup form that also uses this data session. They are all in the same private datasession and I can use the formset as a kind of mediator pattern. The formset takes care of all handling and I have always access to the business object.

Thanks anyhow,

BTW the forms are separate, but are added dynamically at runtime.

IMHO, formsets are now largely an irrelevance, and as you have discovered, bring their own problems with them.

I do not think you will find there are many enthousiasts for formsets now.

What other views?

Weedz,

Chris is absolutely right........FORMSETS SUCK!!!

I think it's pretty safe to say that 99% of VFP veterans will advise you not to use them. Jon Hawkins
