Container Tab Trigger

[#1]

Dear all,

I want to trigger an "Action" (select a field) when a certain tab in the container is activated. Is there a way to do it? I can't find the "Action" option in the container object.

Hi,

I think this cannot be done by using Triggers, maybe try with a macro, or setting your own buttons and displaying the charts, looking like a container.

There is other thread about this here: Event triggers for objects inside a container?

Hi khimhoe_tan!

Let me know: the field select that you want, is just for the chart in that container tab? If yes, why don't you just use a Set Analysis in the chart of this container tab?

Best regards,

Marcello

Hi Marcello,

Thanks for the suggestion. We just want to default some of the selections when the user change to that particular tab. So using Set Analysis might not be appropriate since they can change the filters later on.

We want to have some default selection when the user switch to that tab.

1. Macro - Our users use AJAX client, so the macro method might not work.

2. There are quite a few tabs in the existing containers. Changing it to use buttons will be time consuming and will be harder to maintain.

Then perhaps you are looking for expressions in charts depending on variables;

You may clik on the Document properties / Triggers / and set a variable on which the chart or the expression depends, setting a conditional in the expression you want to be activated.

That's the only workaround that comes to my mind.

Have the same issue here. When opening the document, the same tab should be activated.

Sounds simpel, but isn't.

Container has many Tabs, so replacing with Buttons is costly.

Any ideas??
