kttenneb Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I am having multiple issues with tab items. I have created a form with multi Tabs. Each Tab has several controls but I do not need input from any of the controls. The controls are there for illustration only. What I need to happen is for an action to happen when a user clicks in specific areas not on the controls themselves. For example on Tab 1 there are several address fields when the user clicks on or near any of the input fields I want it to open another form giving information about the address section. Some of the other Tabs have groups on them I want it to pull up the other form giving the information when they click anywhere in the group. I have tried to create buttons on top of the large areas that I want to be clickable. But I have problems with the input fields bleeding through and not allowing clicks. I have also had buttons on the other tabs bleed through and not allow clicks in all or part of the large buttons. The deeper buttons do not show but you cannot click where they overlap. I tried Guiswitch to set the buttons but it did not work for me. I found a function and burrowed it, that will allow the buttons to be transparent or semi transparent that I will include with the code that could be adding to the issues. I thought about creating a "Hot" area that will allow clicks but I am not experienced enough to accomplish and I have not found any examples of. Please Help Thanks.

M23 Thanks Melba23 for the reply, I think what I need is when an Input box is clicked that an action happens and I have not figured out how to do that. I want to click on the input box like a button, but it still needs to look like a input box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kttenneb Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thank you, That will work for me. I had some problems at first, had to rename all of the input boxes before it would register the click but it is working now. Thanks for the quick response.
