The change log indicates that ThrowFocus should open the tab. But I just tested it, and it did NOT seem to work. Maybe one of the Lanticans can enlighten us.

Amor,

Do you want to open a tab that is on the same form, or open another Sesame tab that displays another form?

If you just need to send the user to an element on a tab that is on the same form, ThrowFocus will open the tab and place them in the target LE.

If you want to open another form, that can be done also. But I'm pretty sure you're asking about the former issue.

There must be something specific to your application. I can ThrowFocus to an element 4 levels deep on tabs. And I'm not talking about having just one TabPage with 4 tabs. I'm talking about stacking 4 TabPages on top of (or inside of) one another.

As you can see in my previous posts, I got fooled into thinking (at first) that ThrowFocus would not open a tab, but it turned out that some of the LEs I was testing with were read-only. So check for that.

Also, if one of the LEs that you want to navigate out of is the last one in the navigation order, that may stop focus from moving to the next LE. You can check this by clicking on Change Navigation Order in the Commands task window. You need to select your TabPages via the Select an element group: drop-down.
