Active Container Object

Does anyone know how to determine which chart or object is currently active within a Container object? I can't figure it out using the API Guide.

The OnActivate event was dropped in version 11. The macro itself still works but it needs to be triggered via a button (see attached) or some other method.

This worked for me in QV 11. Thank you so much for the quick reply.

Triggers option should be available in container object. This is a basic requirements.

Hi,

I also wonder how did u figuered it out.

  1. I use containers a lot, but still wrestle with few bugs they have:
  2. can't write more then 1 line on a tab
  3. when placing a straight table in the container, or when chart dimentions exceed the container width, no horizontal scroll bar appears
  4. can't find a way to identify (in amacrom for example), which tab was selected

I'll try to post it in the QV bugs.

Hi,

I am working with QV11 and I encountered the above mentioned bug in container object "when placing a straight table in the container, or when chart dimentions exceed the container width, no horizontal scroll bar appears".

When I turn Web View Mode on, the horizontal scroll bar do appear but when I change it to normal QV desktop mode it doesn't. Do you have any updates on this?

Thanks,

Amey Pantoji
