Hi,

this is a slightly different question to my earlier question of adding table fields programmatically. That involved knowing ahead of displaying the form how many new tables were to be added.
This a question of having a tab box with an initial single tab entry. There is an add tab box button which should allow for an extra tab box to be added on each press.

I have tried the getEnclosingFieldList from the button execClickAction method and used the add new AbstractGroupBox approach this has no effect when the button is pressed.

Is there a method on the AbstractTabBox that needs to be called to update the display?

This is a generic question really as I can see the possibility of adding any type of field after the page has been displayed, so what is the mechanism for adding and updating the fields child list?

Any pointers???

Regards
