Buddies,

am trying to use tabs and forms together.
but it seems when form gets activated, tabs disappears from the screen.

my requirement is simple
2 tabs having one form each.

can anyone send me a quick sample code?

cheers,
m

Hi trymukesh,

Wouldn't be better if you put your current code here and we try to correct it? Don't forget to use the code tags by clicking on the # symbol at the post editor


Waiting your code,

Rafael.

Hi Rafael,

Thanks for the quick response, here is the code

Million thanks in anticipation.

warm regards,

import e32, appuifw, math

# create an Active Object
app_lock = e32.Ao_lock()

## Simple MyFormView class to demonstrate the use of forms.
class MyFormView( object ):
    
    ## The constructor.
    def __init__( self ):
        ## Bool
        self._iIsSaved = False
 
        ## Country list.
        self._iCountries = [u'India', u'USA', u'UK', u'Finland', u'Canada']

        ## Form fields.
        self._iFields = [(u'Weight (kgs)','float', 10.10), 
                         (u'Country','combo', (self._iCountries,0))]
 
 
    ## Displays the form.
    def setActive( self ):
        self._iIsSaved = False

    myForm = MyFormView( )

    myForm.setActive( )

    app_lock.wait()

Hi trymukesh,

Well, I tested you code here. If I were you, I wouldn't use forms in this case, because the default behavior of the tabs if pressing the right and left arrows to switch them, but in your case, it's a form, so it will be in edit mode and if you press right/left the keys, it won't change the tabs. Sorry if this was confusing, hope you can understand

Instead, you can use a listbox


Hope it helps,

Rafael.

Hi Rafael,

Thank you for your guidance.
Just to avoid last minute jitters, i stuck to form and curb some functionality of my application.

Thanks pal,
Mukesh
