[icf-dev] Tab Folder Behaviour

Hi Cheryl,

A quick note on this. When you have selected the second tab, the container

is sized to accomodate the larger page - like you said. When the window is

closed, the current window position and size is saved if the preference is

turned on for this (but by default I think it is). You can check your

preference settings by selecting 'File' -'Preferences' from either the

Development or Administration menus. All of that born in mind: When the

container is launched again, it will be sized to its saved size, which means

that selecting the larger page won't cause a resize on the container.

Alternatively, on the container, you can set the 'initialPageList'

property to * (asterisk). This will cause the container to initialize all

pages when the container starts up and therefore calculate the correct size

of the container before it is visualized. However, this might cause a longer

startup time for the container, as all objects will be initialized. This

includes SDOs - which would fetch their data etc.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Chris

Hi,

If you have a window in Dynamics with a Tab Folder on it, the initial size

of the window is based on the size of the viewer on the 1st tab.

If the viewer on the 2nd tab is wider, then the window dynamically widens

to accommodate the larger viewer.

I thought this was a bug but notice it is still there in Dynamics 2 SP1.

Is there any way of making the initial window size wide enough to

accommodate the largest tab size? (Shouldn't this be standard, default

behaviour?)

Regards, Cheryl.
