I want to create a Gallery which when selected will show the information in the DetailForm. However the information being show is 100 rows long and i would like to break this up so that i can split the cards into 4 tabs of 25.
Is there way of creating this, i have tried googleing but all i get is custom form views without a gallery selection.
There is no need to create separate screens...that was only the approach in the video (for simplicity). It's also why I alluded to using the Visible proeprty!
If you are ONLY dealing with ViewForms and will not be doing any editing, then you don't need to worry about any of this.
You can simply have your gallery as mentioned earlier and set the Visible properties as mentioned.
Nothing else is needed other than to make sure the Item property of all your ViewForms is the same.
The video you linked is not waht i wanted, the creation of multipl screens is impractical. I have attached an image showing in red the tabs i would like and when selected would change the view form to show different fields. Now i think about it could i create 4 view forms and only show one when i have selected a button, hiding the other 3? Or can a gallery with buttons be able to change between screens keeping the gallery selected option.
This is a bit long to describe the entire process here on this forum. There are some "so-so" videos on the topic that you can search for.
However, you will want to start with this one...Splitting Forms the correct way! This is an important step to understand if you want to use forms and you want to use their functionality and features. Most all of the other video on tabbing a form will split it incorrectly and patch it incorrectly!
Once you have grasped this concept in the video, then you will essentially have a gallery (for your tabs) and then, based on the Selection in the tab, have one of the 4 forms to show.
Example Items for Tab Gallery: ["Form1", "Form2", "Form3", "Form4"]
Then, on the Visible property of each form, you would simply put the following: yourTabGallery.Selected.Value = "Form1" (obviosuly replacing all the names as needed).
That is it, then, as long as you have split the form properly, your final SubmitForm on the Master form will all work perfectly.
I hope this is helpful for you.
