[Solved] TabPanel1 bad index

Post by AndyGable »

Hi Everyone

I am stuck I have read up on how to remove a tab from a Tab Panel (I need to remove it when I add products but it shows when I edit them as it shows the products history)

But when I use the TabPanel1.remove(4) I get a Bad Index Error

I have 5 tabs in my Tab Panel

I am using TabPanel1.index = 0 to set it to the first tab (Product Information)

I have the following tabs

0 - Product Information
1 - Stock Locations
2 - Supplier & Pricing
3 - Web Settings
4 - Product History

Depending on the setting I need to always hide tab 4 when I am in Add mode but when in edit I need to hide Tab 3 if the system is set Not to sync with Opencart

can someone help me as I have no idea how to correct this.

did you try the .Visible property? probably easier than removing/adding

https://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.for ... lcontainer

' tab 3 hides if not in edit, or if in edit it hides if no opencart or shows if opencart
TabPabel1[3].Visible = If(bIsInEditMode, If(bCanUseOpencart, True, False), False)

TabPabel1[4].Visible = Not bIsInAddMode



hmm probably just
TabPabel1[3].Visible = bIsInEditMode And bCanUseOpencart
If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

what he said.
But also..
you cannot remove a tab panel if it has stuff inside it.

Have you ever noticed that software is never advertised using the adjective "spreadable".

Thanks BruceSteers I must be having a very BAD day today if I could not remember something that simple.
