When browsing through the forums we generally come across situations where someone was looking for a solution to hide his custom FEC control when the Tab on which it is placed is not active.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is one problem that even I had faced in our initial days and this is something that is very commonly required and has to be taken care of every time you add a custom control to Standard Accpac OCX. We have defined this clearly in our SDK training program for our in-house developers, however after coming across this thread I thought I should share this small tip with the new comers to the Sage Accpac SDK developer community and hence this blog.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What happens in Accpac is that whenever we customize an OCX to add a custom control we just position it over the Accpac OCX and since our custom control is not actually placed within the Tab Control of Accpac OCX, when we switch between tabs our control stays on the screen for all the tabs, as these tabs only control the visibility of controls that are actually placed on them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is something that has to be taken care of by writing a small piece of code, so how do we do it\u2026(As always my friend make sure you have taken proper necessary backups)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let us assume that we need to customize Order entry screen and we need to place our own custom FEC control on the \u201cOrder\u201d Tab of order entry screen. So it should only be visible when user clicks on Order Tab or when the Order Tab is Active on rest of the tabs user should not see this field.<\/div>\n
\"E\/O<\/a><\/div>\n
First set the reference for the SStab from the reference window and define the object as below.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Private WithEvents OETab As SSTab<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"Accpac<\/a><\/div>\n
Then set the control of the tab on OnUIAppOpened event.<\/div>\n
\n
Set OETab = AccpacOE1100UICtrl1.UIAppControls.Item(“stbOrderEntry”).GetControl<\/div>\n
Then on click of OETab control to get the event procedure, just write the code as below.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"SStab<\/a><\/div>\n
Private Sub OETab_Click(ByVal PreviousTab As Integer)<\/div>\n
\n
If OETab.Tab = 0 Then \/\/Comment : – Here 0 is the value of the \u201cOrder\u201d tab in order entry screen.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
FECComboDescription.Visible = True<\/div>\n
Else<\/div>\n
FECComboDescription.Visible = False<\/div>\n
End If<\/div>\n
End Sub<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
