  • Tab Control Property Node gives a build error when used in a VI for LabVIEW PDA

    Hello,
        Iam new to LabVIEW development & need help regarding this:
        We are trying to port a LabVIEW application from desktop to a Windows Mobile PDA. Please note that the LabVIEW application works fine on the desktop. In one of the VIs, a Tab control property node is used which gives a build error with LabVIEW PDA project. A sample VI which shows the problem & the error list snapshot is attached with this post. Can anyone please suggest an alternate approach to achieve the same functionality with LabVIEW PDA? Waiting for an early response from anyone...
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hello Ton,
        Am glad that i got a response, thanks. The following links indicate that Tab control is supported on PDA target:

        I feel that the Tab control property node that has been used in the VI (which is attached earlier) may not be supported on the PDA target. Can u (or any LabVIEW expert) suggest an alternate approach to achieve the same goal with LabVIEW PDA (changing colour of Tab control pages programatically)??
        I had missed out some details earlier: We are using LabVIEW 8.5 PDA module on a Windows Mobile PDA.

  • Event Structure: update the structure with a tab control

    Hi!
    I want to be able to update the code contained within an event structure by a tab control value change, in addition to the usual bool controller in the UI. 
    The problem is that the event structure don't seem to run when the bool has a value change for the tab control. I have made a short .vi to demonstrate. A counter is placed in the Event structure so it is possible to see if it is running or not. 
    Any ideas?
    Best regards

  • Can I individually change any of the attributes of an individual tab (not the page) on a Tab Control?

    I have a Tab Control with approx. 15 tabs. After the user changes anything (adding text, changing a ring control, etc. ) from the default configuration on any of the 15 tabs, I would like a change to that individual tab only (say color change, text change, anything) so when the user sees all 15 tabs, they know what tab page has had changes to the defaults.
    I appreciate your help with this one!
    (Note: I tried using a imported bitmap control of a red checkmark - and use true/false to an
    visible property node -this only works when placed in any of the Tab control pages, but not on the individual Tab itself.)
    -Karl H.

    Karl,
    I have attached a LabVIEW 6i example to this post that indicates with an LED if the control on the Tab has been changed from its default value. I used the classic LED's to make them invisible when the value is still the default. Hope this helps.

  • Tab control page label change color programmatically

    Hi everybody!
    I have a question about a tab control.
    I'm trying to figure out a way to programmatically change the  properties of the tab labels so the selected tab's label looks different to the others.
    I'd like to do this by changing aspects of it's font and it's color. But I can't find out how to access it either directly or by reference.
    I can get at the label string so if all else fails I could make the selected one all capitals!
    Am I missing something, or is this one of those things which can't be done?
    I'm using Labview 11.
    Regards,
    Jonathan.

    The link still works for me!
    Search the forum for "Tab Color".
    This does not change the text, but the tab color which is what I do to high light the selected tab.
    I use dark gray and light gray to help the user tell which tab is "active".
    Not exactly what you wanted.

  • Tab Control - change page name and color

    a)
    Is there any possibility to
    change the names of pages in a Tab Control programmatically?
    (I want to change the names in a runtime version depending on the user
    selected language. Therefore I can't use the Import Strings function.)
    b)
    Is it possible to change the colors of a Tab Control ?

    (using LV6.02 on WinNT)

    Hello,
    If you use the property "Independant Label" of the tab, you can change the TabCaption.
    You cannot use blank names.
    See attached file. It was written with LabVIEW 6.1 and converted back to 6.0.

  • Changing tab control strings

    I found that if I modify the TEST_UUTS string in ModelStrings.ini, I can change the text displayed in my entry point button.
    [MODEL]
    TEST_UUTS = "ATE TEST"
    SINGLE_PASS= "DEBUG"
    Similarly, I made changes to UIControlOperatorInterfaceStrings.ini to change what shows up in the tabs for my Top-Level VI in the TestStand 3.5 Operator Interface.
    [TSUI_OI_MAIN_PANEL]
    EXECUTION = "Test Execution"
    SEQUENCE_FILE = "Test Sequence"
    Now for my questions - one specific, one general
    1) If I add a page (tab) to my tab control (say Quick  BIT), I was told I could just create a contant in CustomStrings.ini and TestStand would grab the text out of that file.
    [TSUI_OI_MAIN_PANEL]
    QUICK_BIT = "Quick BIT"
    How/where does it do that?  I assume this constant (QUICK_BIT) would have to be unique and it would have to be specified in one of the properties dialog boxes somewhere?
    2) In general, where does TestStand use these contants (say, for example, the one for TEST_UUTS)?

    Hi,
    You have to call the TestStand - localize Front Panel.vi, which is found in the TestStand Palette in your LabVIEW. You need to provide the Engine reference which you can obtain from IAppllicationMgr.GetEngine and also a string containing the section name found in your CustomStrings.ini

  • Can you change tabs on a tab control by using boolean buttons?

    Need to change tabs by pressing a button instead of using the actual tabs.

    Absolutely. First create a local variable for your tab control. Then poll your boolean to tell when its value has changed. Finally write a value to the tab's local variable to change its tab page programmatically.

  • Tab control - takes long to change between tabs

    Hi everyone,
    I am using a tab control to display a set of results on each tab. So, I have a tab control with three tabs and each tab consists of 16 indicators which are updated with values. Now, when I run the program, it is taking a long time to switch between these tabs. For instance, if I am currently on Page 1 and then I click Page 2, it takes around 5 seconds to change the tab. I know this should be like this but I cannot understand what is happening. 
    I need help, please. I know it is a silly question but I cannot make heads or tails of it!
    Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would also recommend to streamline the code a little bit.
    For example the cases in frame#1 differ only by some small operations. All that belongs inside the case is the code that differs. none of the local variable seems to be necessary. All that belongs in the smaller cases are the colorbox constants (might be easier to index into an array of colors). If you autoindex on the For loop boundary, you don't need to wire N and you can eliminate the "index array" operation.
    In frame #2, you could autoindex on arrays of references, all in a single FOR loop (same for all the initializations).
    You have race conditions. Initializing all the colors (to the right and left of the sequence structure) all occur in parallel to the sequence structure. You should create a data dependency to ensure things occur in a defined order.
    You can probably eliminate all these hidden indicators and associated local variables. The wire is the data!

  • Change tab control page programatically using boolean.

    I am wondering if there is a way to programatically change the tabs on tab control when a user clicks a button on  the interface? Here is what I am trying to do and if anybody has any great ideas please let me know. I have a tab control with currently 3 tabs. I want a button on the main area of the vi to go to page 2 and back to page 1 as the user clicks it. The second is that I want about 5 buttons in page 2 that will go to say page 3-5. Any ideas. Thanks

    Sure, though I don't know why the user can't just click the tabs themselves. All you need is a simple event structure and writing to a local variable of the tab control.

  • Programatically Change Tab Control Image

    Is it possible to change the tab image of a
    tab control using program calls?  I can add an image to a tab by
    right clicking the tab, then selecting Advanced --> Tab Layout
    --> Import Image From Clipboard.  This works well when editing
    the VI, but I would like to change the image while the VI is
    running.  Any help?
    I have found no resources online, or by looking at the property node or invoke node for the tab control.

    Not possible. The image can only be set while in edit mode.

  • Tab control page name

    I’d like an example or description of this:
    For Tab Control, change the name of the Tab Page at Runtime?
    Thanks,Chris

    You CAN do this.  For each tab, right-click and choose Advanced->Make Page Caption Match Label to uncheck the option.
    Then, in your program, get the Pages property.  Use that reference to access the Caption property.
    Note that the enum strings do not change, so if the LABEL for the tab is Page 1 and the caption is hello world, the tab value is still Page 1.
