G'day
When using AUTOTAB feature for tabbed windows, what are the rules for making the TAB's text appear. Also when using this feature - the Sequential Key numbering ceases to function - any ideas?
Thanks

Don't know about the sequential key, but click the combine text/bitmap box and prefix a pipe (|) to the text

You'll also find that any previous forms INACTIVATED event fails to fire when using Autotab. I spoke to Cam Purdy about this a few years ago and from memory I think he said is is probably as a result of the destroy and creates from Utility calls in the Create event. Wasn't a problem for us at the time because we simply fired the inactivated event in code and I haven't looked at is since.
Try sending a GOTFOCUS to control to see what happens. Otherwise you could just have to read and update the %SK% record directly.

We had the same problem, in order to make sequential key numbering running again, check 2 things: 1) if you defined a script for the form's Create event, put "Forward_Event(CreateParam)" on the first line; 2) use the "Order tabs" menu option to sort your controls, so that the key field and its label are in the 1st and 2nd place, eventually set the tabs at the end of the list.
