hello , i've in my system a search form which contains many tabs for each table i have in the database
for example (employee tab,departments tab....)
and seperated forms for the same tables to add recored from
what i want is
when i'm opening the employee form and press the search button which opens the search form that contains the search tabs
to open with specific tab selected , not the default one
hope it can be done
thanks in advance
Modify the constructor for the search form to take a parameter to tell it which tab to open and then use a switch block to handle the param value and open the right tab?
Quite a messy way to do it but would work.
Probably better to use an enum and to mark the tag with the enum, that way you can use a single method to find and activate the correct tab.
Less messy than using a switch statement.
Had a feeling you would know a cleaner implementation
