Using Keeping Tabs in Two Easy Steps!

1) Add the global extension (Global -> Extensions -> Insert -> Activate CapeSoft KeepingTabs).

2) On the Options tab:

• Turn KeepingTabs on locally - if you check this, this means that KeepingTabs will be disabled by default and requires manually enabling on the procedures where you require it.
• You can select the INI file which KeepingTabs will use to store the information it requires (Application INI by default). To use an alternative INI file, you can select the Other option and then enter the name of the ini file to store (use quotes for a constant or use a variable name).
• By default, both the Tab selected and the Listbox Format will be stored, but you can disable either one globally here (by checkng the respective checkbox).
• List Box Settings - allows you to set the default LineHeight and GridColor to be used throughout this entire application (which you can override these locally). If you don't want the LineHeight and GridColor set by default, then clear these template prompt fields.  You can use Makeover to set the LineHeight and the GridColor for lists, so to avoid conflict where both products exist in your application, you need to choose whether Makeover or KeepingTabs controls the GridColor and LineHeight.
• Turn ActiveInvisible on for all browses - ActiveInvisible is off by default, which means that you need to manually issue a browse redraw in wizarded sheets (with browses on the tabs that aren't initially shown). Checking this will make sure that your browses have data when you tab to them.

Click OK to close the Global Extension dialog box and OK to close the application Global window.

For testing and debugging you can globally disable KeepingTabs on the Global Extension by checking the Disable all KeepingTabs Features checkbox.

Disabling KeepingTabs on a particular procedure:

You can disable Keeping tabs for a particular procedure by right Clicking on the procedure and choose "Extension", then checking the Disable KeepingTabs here checkbox on the local KeepingTabs procedure.

You can also disable the LineHeight and Gridcolor use for a particular procedure as well on the Options tab (by checking the respective checkboxes there).

Disabling or change the KeepingTabs behaviour for a specific Control:

You can also disable KeepingTabs for a particular for a particular control by right clicking on the procedure and choosing "Extensions". Select the KeepingTabs extension from the list and click on the Options tab.

The Options tab contains a list of the controls that KeepingTabs affects.

• Checking the Disable LineHeight here means that KeepingTabs won't set the line height of all the browses on this particular procedure.
• Checking the Disable Grid Color here checkbox means that Keeping Tabs won't set the grid color of all the browses on this particular procedure.
• You can specify whether you would like the ActiveInvisible to be Default (i.e. taking the Global setting), or force it to either on or off.

You can select a control from this list, then click on the Properties button:

• Disable KeepingTabs for this control.
• Override LineHeight allows you to override the lineheight for that specific list control.
• Override gridcolor allows you to override the gridcolor for that specific list control.
