Scrolling a window

[kiwiora]

I have a pop-up window with a stack of variables the end user needs to complete. They are grouped by various headings. It is on one layout so the user can print/pdf it and pop it on file (hence multiple tabbed screens not suitable).

I ultimately would like it to have these headings much like a shortcut at the top of a page which scrolls to the applicable area

e.g a scroll much like HTML code i.e

Go To Section 2



blah



blah



blah



blah



blah



blah



Welcome To Section 2!

I can "sort" of get this to work by using go to object/next field. The problem is however that if I am going to field XY which is a page and a bit down it will scroll so it just sees field XY at the bottom of the screen when what I really want is for it to jump field XY to the top of the scrolled window, just like HTML.

Using the page up/down feature or making it go to a "hidden" field (so the bottom sits at the top) and then going to the field (hope you're following me here) isn't going to work because people have different screen sizes/res. (and is nasty)

Attached example in case that was as clear as mud

TIA

IMHO, a tab control object would be an ideal tool for this.

Yes, but unfortunately as I said, I cannot do this as they need to print it out and put it on a file.

Creating two layouts (tab and print) would become cumbersome because there is a layout for each centre.

I got this to work by putting a blank small field at each label and giving it an appropriate object name.

In my script I use the scroll window step to the end of the page, then navigated back up to the object (by script parameter) then commit record.
