Get container's selected object's caption

I have a container that contains two tables.

I need a text object to display the selected object's caption.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Not quite sure if I am understanding you correctly. Do your tables display side by side? Or are they single?

I think you need to use the GetCurrentSelection function perhaps.

Otherwise you can just enter something like the following in Title Text area of the caption tab:

 

='Budget vs Actual ' &  Year & ' ' & Quarter & ' ' & OwnerName & ' ' & Property

Let's say I have a container that contains three table boxes with captions set as "A","B","C". I a text object whose value I would like to change as I switch between these three table boxes in my container. When I switch to table box "A", I want my text object to display "A". Fairly simple I guess!

Hi,

There is no Inbuilt function to get the current container object, so instead of using a container use buttons and variables to show and hide the charts.

Hope it helps you.
