tabset requestFocus() does not work

[Segi]

I have a Tab Set control in my application. In the before page event, if a certain condition is met, I call control.VIEW_TAB.requestFocus() in order to set the focus on a specific tab in the tab set but this doesn't seem to have any effect and the focus remains on the first tab in the tab set.

Is this a bug in eBase ? This behavior is the same no matter which tab I request focus on.

I also did a test where I created a button that calls control.VIEW_TAB.requestFocus() in its event to be sure that it wasn't something that has to do with the before page event but I get the same results.

To change the visible tab, you need to set the selected property of the Tab Set Control with the item name property of the new tab e.g.

Code: Select all

controls.TABSET.selected = "Tab2";

or..

Code: Select all

controls.TABSET.selected = controls.VIEW_TAB.itemName;
