Thread: Adding 'More Tabs...' tab

Adding 'More Tabs...' tab Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Hi,

I have a script that delete all tabs based on certain condition (including 'More Tabs...' tab) and when the condition changes I want to be able to just add the 'More Tabs...' tab. Any idea on how to do this?

Thanks.

Using the code below will show individual tabs (listed in the arguement):

Application.BasicFunctions.SetTabVisibleProperty "Account:Activities",TRUE

Or Hide them:

Application.BasicFunctions.SetTabVisibleProperty "Account:Activities",FALSE

But Moretabs isn't addressable (as far as I know), BUT using the menu option 'View' > 'Restore Default Layout' will show the Moretabs again (assuming you haven't hidden that in the mainview). The 'Restore Default Layout' menu option just calls the function 'Window:RestoreSplitter' so it stands to reason that calling that function (Application.BasicFunctions.DoInvoke?) and then showing/hiding tabs as desired will work...

If this is 6.2 or higher then there might be a way to do this. I've not tried this so I can't tell you if it works or not. However, the MainView object does have a "MoreTabsVisible" property which you can set to True or False. Whether it "behaves" correctly at runtime or not is something you'll have to test.

So, if you got a reference to the MainView, you'd do something like this:

Application.MainViews.ActiveView.MoreTabsVisible = False

It *should* work, but like I said, I've not tested that at runtime.

Thanks Shawn & Ryan,

The environment is 7.01.
The MoreTabsVisible property is a read-only at runtime, so not much use...

I'm trying to disable/lock data input based on ticket status, and although the tabs can be hidden, user still can use 'Restore Default Layout' and be able to edit closed tickets. Is there any other elegant way to achieve this?

Thanks.
