Creating a Tab Canvas

To create a tab canvas:

  1. In the Object Navigator, under the Canvases node, double-click the object icon of the content canvas on which you wish to create a tab canvas.
  2. In the Layout Editor, click icon to create tab canvas in the toolbar.
  3. Click-drag the region where you want to place the tab canvas.
    Oracle Forms creates a tab canvas (with two tab pages), and gives it a default name, such as CANVAS6.
  4. In the Object Navigator, under the Canvases node, click the tab canvas' object icon, then choose Tools | Property Palette to display the Property Palette.
  5. Under the Viewport node:
  6. Under the Physical node:
  7. Define the tab canvas' position in the stacking order.
    If the tab canvas is not displayed programmatically or in response to navigation, make sure that its position in the stacking order places it in front of the content canvas assigned to the same window. If not, it will be shown behind the content canvas, and will not be visible at runtime. Recall that the stacking order of canvases in a window is defined by the sequence in which they are Listed under the Canvases node in the Object Navigator.
