Tab name used controlling

Hi Zamir,

As the first option, you can catch the e_tabNameExists exception when it's raised from your API;

procedure myProc is
begin
  ...
  api_tabbedPanel.yourAPI(...);
  ...
exception
  when api_exception.e_tabNameExists then
    ...
end;

Currently, Formspider does not provide a built-in API which checks whether a tab with the given name exists or not. But as the second option, you can implement your custom checker function as;

function isTabNameUsed(in_tabbedPanelName_tx varchar2, in_tabName_tx varchar2) return varchar2 is
  v_visible_yn varchar2(1);
begin
  v_visible_yn := api_tabbedPanel.istabvisible(in_tabbedPanelName_tx ,in_tabName_tx);
  -- tab with the given name exists since e_invalidTabName exception is not raised
  return 'Y';
exception
  when api_exception.e_invalidTabName then
    return 'N';
end;

Hope this helps, Ibrahim
