We are very excited to announce the latest release of the CygNet Thin Web Client (TWC), v1.4.

Consider this scenario.  I have an overview grid screen that has a list of wells with some high level information.  I click on one of the wells and a separate screen opens with more detail.  On that detail screen, I click on a button that opens another screen that has a trend with various well points.   Cool, I have separate dedicated screens that I’m able to view the various bits of information I desire at the same time.  Now I want to be able to select on a different well on the first screen and have the other screens follow.  And, I want to be able to look at multiple sets of these screens for different wells at the same time.  How can I do that

In my previous post How to change a tab strip selection, I discussed the use of HyperLinkSys as a means of passing data from a nested view screen to its parent screen. In that technique, the data passed from the nested view was used to change the selection of a tab strip on the parent screen. In keeping with the theme of initiating an action from a nested view, I will present a different technique using custom events for more complex interactions.

Well as a similar joke goes, first the tab strip has to want to change.

Tabs are commonly used in screen navigation. They do a good job of helping us organize our screens and they don’t require a lot of screen real estate. I used them extensively when building CygNet for Production. So much so that Applied Engineering built an entire management system to control the configuration of the tabs, but that’s a story for another day.
