I have a tab control object on my Access form and have changed the style to none so that the tabs are not visible, however when I click on where the tabs would be it still changes the pages like as if they were there.
Is this normal behaviour and is there any way to prevent the tabs from being able to be clicked?
This is by design. You could take advantage of this setting to display images where the tabs would otherwise be so that it appears to the user that they are clicking on the image to change tabs.
As you've already figured out, you should set the Visible property to False if you want the tab to be both hidden and disabled.

On my website I am creating a dialog. When this dialog is visible I want to create a focus trap so the user is tabbing inside this dialog until the dialog is closed. I am able to set the tabindex of all items on my page to -1 so they can't be focussed.
But I have one problem. I have an iframe with a webform inside it. The field and submit button inside this iframe are still focusable after I've run my tabindex script. I know this is how it should work (I shouldn't be able to change iframes content) but how can I make sure these items are not focusable when the dialog is visible?
For now I just hide the form (display:none) when the dialog is visible and this is an okay option. But I have the feeling there is a better way and since I'm learning about accessibility I'm curious about what solutions there are for this problem.
Thanks in advance
I have a couple of form definitions in my main HTML file.
I would like to display these forms in a modal window, when the user performs certain action, such as click on an icon.
I have followed an article on how to do it for links (hrefs). But now my requirement is to get the same working for clicking on an icon.
Thank you,
Harriet
The answer is to write a java function, that will explicitly set the location of the window to where you want the url to point - example:
function openPreferences() {
window.location = '#openPreferences';
}
I think the most simple solution would be to create a LinkBlock Element and set the Background to the Icon's Image, which will allow you to turn it into a Link, thus further allowing you to open your Modal Window with it.. Simply create your Modal as Display None, and upon clicking the LinkBlock (with your Icon as the Background), make it change the Modal property to Display Block, etc.
I maintain a fairly large ms-access 2003 application. One of the recent changes that I was asked to make was to add a popup dialog box to warn used of a particular situation when the opened a form which is itself a pop up (although not modal) form.
Unfortunately, the new popup modal form comes up behind the original one, getting the user interface into an impossible position (you cannot close the modal dialog box because it is hidden, but you cannot move the others out the way because the modal dialog is preventing you).
I've temporarily made the new box come up to the very side of the screen but it is far from ideal.
Is there a way to specify the Z index of a form so I can control the layering? (or any other solution)
The only way to control this is by the order in which you open the forms.
I.e. you have to first open the original popup form, then open the new modal popup.
You could also consider using MsgBox() instead of the new form.
We have a web based form that is displayed in a WebView in a UWP app. When data is entered into the form we haven't found a way to ensure that the input field with focus is in the visible area when the software keyboard is displayed so the input field with focus remains visible.
There seems to be some inconsistency in the built in behaviour as sometimes when setting focus on an input field (by tapping it) it will be scrolled into a visible position. Other times it remains hidden behind the keyboard.
In a XAML based UI this is easy to manage by adjusting the layout based on the Showing and Hiding events of InputPane.
We can do the same with content in a WebView to allow the control to be resized and ensure that it is possible to reach all content when scrolled but this doesn't ensure that the field with focus is not obscured when the keyboard is displayed.
Given this scenario is there a way to ensure that the focused control is visible when the keyboard is displayed?
is it possible to add a button to the SSRS toolbar?
Currently on the toolbar you see export, the refresh and the print button. I would like to add a button that will link to a new page.
Is this possible?
There is no method to add your own buttons to the toolbar itself. You can, however, enable the Page Navigation buttons that allow the user to go back/forward or jump to a specific page.
