FastTab Visible Property - Odd Results

mstallmann

I have a new FastTab control created on the item card called Packaging Details. This FastTab should only show up if the Item Category is set to PACK (Packaging Materials). There are about 15-20 fields on this tab.

I created a Boolean variable called PackDetailsVisible and set the fast tab's visible property to this variable. In the triggers OnAfterGetRecord and OnNewRecord as wel as the Item Cat OnValidate trigger, I call a function to set the PackDetailsVisible to true or false based on the Item Category code.

When I run this Page from the Object designer, all is well and it works as expected. However if I open the item card from the item list in teh RTC client, a couple of strange things happen if the FastTab is visible. First, none of the promoted fields show up in the fast tab. Second, all of the fields are stacked on one side (left) and do not flow to the right side of the screen as you would normally see in a card form.

Let me know if I am missing something, or if there is a fix for this.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
