Can you create tab pages dynamically. i.e decide how many and titles of tab pages at runtime?? Presuming all will have the same format

Thx

I think not. You can dynamically show/hide them, but they are canvases and I don't see a way to create them at runtime.

Thanks Maarten, that's what I thought. Oracle Forms doesn't do 'dynamic' very much, you can hide things but that's about it.

You can't CREATE them at run-time but if you developed a form with, say, 10 tabs, you can dynamically set their label and make them visible. But once you have that working, what are you going to place on these tabs canvases? You can't move items from one tab to another, nor can you change their datatype. But you CAN move fields AROUND on a canvas or tab canvas. You can also change their length. So you COULD create 'generic' character fields on a tab canvas and then populate, resize, and move/align them manually.
