Cycle Property Example

The following example defines the Cycle property for a Frame and two Page objects in a MultiPage.

To use this example, copy this sample code to the Script Editor of a form. To run the code you need to open the form so the Open event will activate. Make sure that the form contains:

• A Frame named Frame1.
• A MultiPage named MultiPage1 that contains two objects named Page1 and Page2.
• Two CommandButton controls named CommandButton1 and CommandButton2.

In the form, the Frame, and each Page of the MultiPage, place a couple of controls, so you can see how Cycle affects the tab order of the Frame and MultiPage.

The user should tab through the controls to observe how Cycle affects the tab order. Pressing CommandButton1 extends the tab order to include controls in the Frame and Page objects. Pressing CommandButton2 restricts the tab order.

Dim Frame1
Dim MultiPage1

Sub Item_Open()
  Set Frame1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").Frame1
  Set MultiPage1 = Item.GetInspector.ModifiedFormPages("P.2").MultiPage1
  RestrictCycles
End Sub

Sub RestrictCycles()
  'Limit tab order for the Frame and Page objects
  Frame1.Cycle = 2
  MultiPage1.Page1.Cycle = 2
  MultiPage1.Page2.Cycle = 2
End Sub
Sub CommandButton1_Click()
  'Extend tab order subforms (the Frame and Page objects)
  Frame1.Cycle = 0
  MultiPage1.Page1.Cycle = 0
  MultiPage1.Page2.Cycle = 0
End Sub

Sub CommandButton2_Click()
  RestrictCycles
End Sub
