Power Edit form having other forms

[Rauf]

1. Can I design a Power Edit form which may contain multiple tabs, each tab attached to different views. And some tabs contains grid to enter data(like Header Detail form), some tabs will be like Fix/Inspect form.
Can you please have a look at the attachment?
2. Can a Subform contain Header Detail form ?

I just completed a App which has a Power Edit Form containing:
1. Main grid
2. Tab control with 2 Tabs, Subform on each tab with grid - add/edit.
3. Another subform with grid - not on tab control. View only.

All accomplished fairly easily thanks to Scott Beebe's excellent article on the JDETips website "An Introduction to Power Forms Development" (subscription required).

Your layout on the attachment should be doable, although looking at it I don't know why you'd want a separate subform/view for each tab - since the information all looks to be related.

and No - a subform can't contain a Header Detail form.

R,

As His Majesty, Larry, has provided - Yes, you can create a PowerForm with a Main Subform and SubForms for Each Tab.

I second Scott's document on PowerForms - there are means to an end, but I always go back and use his document as my tutor!

Beware! As you append more subforms, you can run the risk of slowing down your application as a whole.

Go have some fun!
