Child browse reading primary key from multiple tabs in NWB
« on: June 21, 2023, 12:28:03 AM »
Hi Guys,

I am having a challenge with a child-browse obtaining the primary key from a selected record in a NWB, if there are multiple tabs with different filters applied to each tab.

In the first tab (record A) may be selected, in the second tab (record B) may be selected (filter applied).

When my child browse reads the primary key, it will read it from the second tab, and not from the first tab where record A was selected.

* It is a problem with the NWB just opens, and the records are auto-selected.
The child-browse will show incorrect information related to primary NWB "second tab".

Any way around this perhaps?

I don't think that's a good approach. Having 2 browses, on the same table, in the same form, will likely cause problems.
Use Radio's, or a drop-down, or buttons to set the filter - not tabs.

Cheers

Following Bruce?s idea..

You could use buttons and then use CSS to make them look ?like? tabs.  I would spread them across the top of the browse perhaps.
