Grid Window Options

New Horizontal Tab

To view more than one grid tab at a time, with the two tabs displayed side-by-side, open the two grids and click this option. Instead of the two grids being displayed as tabs, with one "behind" the other, the grid view is then split vertically, with each grid being displayed in one half of the grid view. The grid currently selected is displayed in the right-hand half of the grid view.

If three or more grids are open when the option is selected, these additional grids are displayed as tabs in the left-hand side of the grid view.

If an additional grid is opened once the option has been selected, this grid is displayed as a tab in the same half of the grid view as the currently selected grid.

New Vertical Tab

This option works in the same way as the New Horizontal Tab option except that grids are displayed one on top of the other, in other words, the grid view is split horizontally.

Tabbed View

This option will arrange all currently open document windows such as loops and datasheets into a single tabbed window. You can click on a tab to display the content of that window.

If grids are to be displayed in tabs, select this checkbox (this is the default setting).

If each grid is to be displayed in a separate window, clear this checkbox.

Move to Previous Tab

If the grid view has been split into two parts using either the New Horizontal Tab or New Vertical Tab option, use this option to move the current grid from the left-hand or top grid half to the right-hand or bottom grid half.

If all grids are moved from a grid view half, the grid view half is closed and the grid view reverts to the default tabbed view.

Move to Next Tab

If the grid view has been split into two parts using either the New Horizontal Tab or New Vertical Tab option, use this option to move the current grid from the right-hand or bottom grid half to the left-hand or top grid view half.

Note: Grids can also be moved from one grid view half to another by clicking on the grid title and dragging and dropping it into the other grid view half.
