FastTabs - Stop User Collapsing?

Jonathan2708

Hi,

Is it possible through properties or code to prevent the user from collapsing a FastTab? Or alternatively is there a way to have a grouped set of fields on a page without a FastTab?

Many thanks

Jonathan

No.

Yes (more or less). I mean that you can force the column break by setting indented groups (max 2 columns). Try to design the page like this:
contentarea
-group(this is the fasttab)
--group(first column)
---fields of the first column
--group(second column)
---fields of the second column
the two subgroups can be labeled, and the caption appears in bold, if i remember correctly

Thanks Mirko, I knew about the indented groups to force the column break within a FastTab, just wondered if it was possible to do something similar outside a FastTab, I guess not.

Thanks

depending on what layout you need, maybe you can try with navigate page layout (not recommended in UX guidlines, but :whistle: )
or try with a fixedlayout part, or use factbox wisely (i'm just throwing you some ideas...)

Some good ideas, am I right in saying though that any fields contained in a 'FixedLayout' group or a FactBox are always enforced read-only?

Belias

You're correct, they are not editable...anyway, editing data is not the purpose of a factbox...

Why would you even want to do this? Let the user decide if he wants to collapse a part or not.

What is the actual requirement?
