Is there any way to programmatically determine when a user clicks a particular tab in a tabbed table? Ideally, I would like the user to be able to click the “Search Results” tab and have lotusscript execute to perform the search.
Thanks
Subject: If you have an editable field on the tab…
…it gets focus, so you should be able to use the field onfocus event to tell.
Subject: Capture when tab is selected
No editable field - just an embedded view (folder). But, I could possibly add a field that would be almost undetectable.
I’m also looking at the folder events to see if the code can be triggered there - without affecting other functions that use the folder.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Subject: possible workaround 
I have done following in my company:
- Tabbed Tabel & Buttons
-
Set the “name” field to the name of the table; for example: “RequestType.”
-
Create a variable on the form with $Name; for example: “$RequestType.”
- Button To Navigate Next / Back with Following Code, for example
[Next]
Field $RequestType := 2;
@Command([RefreshHideFormulas])
[Previouse]
Field $RequestType := 1;
@Command([RefreshHideFormulas])
To simplify this problem you can download the File at:
I hope this helps

P.S.: See the all Table-Properties for understanding the Buttons!
