Jump to tab

[smishler]

Based on a drop-down value list selection on the same layout, I would like to select a specific tab. Is that possible? Thanks.

Hi

you can select a tab based to the choosed value of the value list using an event plugin like EventScript ( free ).

You have to give a name ( the same of each value of the value list ) to each tab object and put this calc into the AutoEnter options of the field that has the value list:

yourField & S4HU_EventScript( Get ( FileName ) ; "go" ; yourField )

where the "go" script is simply:

Go to Object [ Name: Get ( ScriptParameter ) ]

----

Don't you want to use a plugin ?

Change the "go" script to:

Go to Field [ yourField ]

Pause/Resume [ Duration: 1 sec ]

Go to Object [ Name : YourField ]

and set the field YourField like a button that fires that script

Thanks Daniele,

That's a clever solution (I tested the one without the plug-in), but as I assigned the script to the drop-down value-list I have to click twice to actually get the list and make my selection. That is how I interpreted your advice to associate the field with the script and thus fire the script. Is that what you meant or did I misinterpret? Again, thanks.
