- In the CASE loop, set the TABINDEX in each When clause, as follows:
When = D
#Tabindex := '1'
When = U
#Tabindex := '1'
When = N
#Tabindex := '2'
When = S
#Tabindex := '2'

- Recompile your WAM.

- Open the Details WebRoutine in the Design view. Select the Tab Pages weblet and set the selected_tab_index_field to TABINDEX. (Select from the dropdown).
...
- Ensure the Details tab page is selected and Save your changes.

Note: This is a limited implementation, using simply the tab_index_field property. Using a hidden Nav Panel on each tab page, it is possible to return current tab index to a WebRoutine. This allows a design which supports selecting a different employee and always displaying the last tab page used (Details or Skills). |
