How to modify a tab name in a form

This is not possible at the moment. There's no way to rename the labels, or add or delete tabs (for my reference in case I need to find this again, CCR 702185).

ok, thanks for the answer.

Is it still not possible before displaying the form? i mean : after hiCreateTabField, can the tab name be modified?

Not sure this would help much, but you can set _tabLabelList on the field structure before the form is instantiated (either with hiDisplayForm or hiInstantiateForm):

MyForm->tabfield->_tabLabelList=list("Dino" "Bamm-Bamm" "Betty")

Initially, there is no _tabLabelList .

If I add it as you suggested before displaying the form, there is unfortunately no impact on the tab names

Thanks for your help

Which IC version are you using?

For me, it works (in IC6.1.8 ISR18) both when I have ?tabLabels in the hiCreateTabField and when I don't.

I confirm that : 

- it works with ic 618 ISR17 but it doesn' work with ic 618 ISR13

- it works with icadvm 20.1 ISR18 but it doesn' work with icadvm 18.1 ISR13

For my case, it's a bit annoying because I don"t know which ic version designers will use.

Anyway, thank you much for the help and the time you spent on my issue.

Regards.

Ah yes. I just found that this comes with the ?tabLabels argument which was newly added in ISR15 (of course, in both IC6.1.8 and ICADVM20.1). I'd not noticed that this was a fairly new addition.

I guess you could use memq('tabLabels arglist('hiCreateTabField)) to determine whether it is supported or not, but that's a bit messy and probably doesn't help you.
