How to create same button on two page in a tab control?

Hello !
Now we are here again :-) We have a tabcontrol and want to be able to press the same button (a button that stops the program) on both pages of the tabcontrol. How can we do this?
Best regards!

It's not the function isn't developed. It's just that every object on the front panel has a corresponding object on the block diagram. Attached is an example of how to do it with two buttons.
By the way, if you've run out of room on your panel, it probably means your interface is too crowded. If that is so, I suggest you add more pages to the tab to make your interface more clear.

How do I bookmark to a specific page in a another document

How do I bookmark to a specific page in another document

When you add a bookmark, it defaults to the current page and view (zoom, scroll). If you want it to link to a location in a different document, after you create the bookmark, select it, right-click, and select Properties and then select the Actions tab. Delete the default action and add a new one of the type "Go to a page view". When you're prompted with the "Create Go to View" dialog, open the other document and go to the page and set the view (zoom, scroll) that you want, and then click the "Set Link" button. When distributing the files, make sure they retain the same folder structure. This is easiest done if all of the PDFs are in the same folder.

How is it possible to change the page of 1 tab to Page 2 then to page 3 etc using a boolen control?

Hi sir,

You have a couple of possiblities:
Keep the tab value in a shift register and use a value changed on the boolean to increment or decrement the tab. Write to a local variable of the tab as needed (I would recommend against value property nodes as in the above examples by others).
You could also hide the tabs and make the tab control an indicator. Now you can write directly to the terminal if the boolean changes and you don't even need a local variable.
Here is an example showing both (LabVIEW 8.2).

How can I set the tab order of text box controls on each page of a tab control?

I need to be able to select the tabbing order of individual controls on a single page of a tabbed control. How??

In LV 6.1 an up you should be ablel to right click on the edge of the tab control when the tab-page in question is selected.
The bttom selcetion in the pop-up is "Reoder controls in page..."
selecting this option will switch editing modes to allow you to specify the ored, just like in a cluster.
I seem to remeber in older versions you had to drag the tabable controls off the tab control, specify the tabbing oder and then drag them back on. The oldest version I have on this machine is 6.1 so that all I can speak for at the moment.
I hope this helps,

Boolean Controls on a Hidden Page in a Tab Control

Hello everyone.
I am having some issues with a tab control in a fairly complex program put together by another (more experienced) developer. The basic setup for this tab control features several tabs to control various aspects of a system (motor setup, video setup, general parameters, etc.). Going to a specific tab and pressing Ctrl-F8 brings up a password prompt, which then displays the "Advanced" menu. The advanced menu is a hidden page within the same tab control. The advanced menu contains several Boolean controls that allow access to the various advanced setup features (these pages are also hidden pages on the same tab control), however, none of the Boolean controls are functioning. Clicking on the controls does not cause the buttons to appear pressed, either when running the program as a compiled executable, or while on the front panel of the VI in LabView. The hidden pages also appear as dark grey. I have confirmed that the same is true for all of the hidden pages within the tab control. I believe that my issue is with the version of LabView that I am using. The program was designed in 8.0, whereas I am currently using 8.2. I have not been able to find any references to such an issue between the versions, and I am somewhat at a loss as to how to correct it. Version 8.2 is the only version I currently have access to, otherwise I would use version 8.0, to see if that corrects the issue. Programs that were compiled previously by the original designer do function properly (hidden pages, when displayed, still appear dark grey), but even compiling the unmodified source code results in the same problems for me.
Any help that you could offer would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I would be addressing these problems with the original designer, but he is currently on vacation for a month and I wish to get this resolved.

If a page in a tab control is hidden it will appear 'dark grey', and all of the controls on that page will behave as if they are disabled. If you 'right-click' on the page name, and select 'Advanded->Show page' it will turn light grey. Now you should be able to change the controls when the VI is not running. If the page is shown during operation and the controls still do not function they are probably disabled. You can check by 'right-clicking' on the control and going to 'Advanced -> Enabled State'. Also it is possible that they are disabled programatically using a property node.
I am leaning towards this as the issue, at the moment. I just find it very odd that the controls work in the 8.0 compiled program, but not my 8.2 compiled version.
I will have to show/hide each page when it is accessed/left.

How do I open to a specific page or destination in a pdf file using Buddy API Xtra?

Hello,
I'm working with a CD ROM catalog that utilizes the Buddy API Xtra to open PDF files when a link is clicked. The client would like to be able to open to a specific page within a pdf file.
I can open a pdf file using the Buddy API baOpenfile() function but I'm having trouble opening to a specific page when I add #page=4:
baOpenfile("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf#page=4","normal")
I've also tried working with the code below which seems to me like it should work... I didn't realize that the "open..." part of it was a function in Director.
on mouseUp me
pageNum = 4
theApp = baShortFileName(baFindApp("pdf"))
theDoc = baShortFileName("@\pdfs\Powder Cores\Magnetics_Powder_Core_Catalog_2011.pdf")
theArgs = "/s /A page=" & string(pageNum) & "&pagemode=bookmarks"
-- (translates to "/A page=4" in this example)
open theApp && theArgs && theDoc
end
Thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Thank you Dee! This works perfect!
It would be cool to know how to use bashell() for this.
The help files give the following examples:
Result = baShell( Operation, Filename, Args, WorkDir, State )
ok = baShell( "open", "c:\windows\notepad.exe", "myfile.txt" , "", "normal" )
ok = baShell( "edit", "myfile.htm" , "", "", "normal" )
So I tried:
on mouseUp me
-- Close the program group
tWindowList = baWindowList( "" , "pdf" , false )
if tWindowList <> [] and count(tWindowList) > 0 then baCloseWindow(tWindowList[1])
pageNum = 4
theApp = baFindApp("pdf")
theDoc = _movie.path & "pdfs\Powder Cores\Magentics Powder Core Catalog.pdf"
theArgs = "/A "&QUOTE&"page="&string(pageNum)&"=OpenActions"&QUOTE
baShell( "open", theApp, theDoc , theArgs, "normal" )
end
It opens the pdf file without going to a specific page. Any thoughts as to why it wouldn't accept theArgs?
Thanks again!

How do I go to a specific page in full-screen mode?

I've been using page for almost 3 months now and always jumped to the top of the document and clicked on my TOC entry to get to the start of whatever chapter I wanted to write or edit. Today, I decided it would be faster to just use Cmd-G, like I would have in MS Word, to jump to a specifc page. I was shocked to discover that that repeated my last search. Is there any way to jump to a specific page without leaving full-screen mode and navigating by the page tumbs? Right now, I tend to rewrite entire chapters, so I have less need to go to specific pages, but that will change later on. Ideally, I'd like to be able to jump from section to section, too.

Oddly, I never moved the cursor left to see the pages while in fullscreen mode. It's not as fast as a Cmd-[x]-[#] shortcut, but will work for my purposes.
Thanks

How can you move to a specific page in a large document

Trying to move to specific page within a 90-page document on I-Pad, other than scrolling--Is there a way to "go to" page # whatever?

Okay,
I just loaded up Dropbox to check it out. When you are looking at your PDF in the Dropbox window, you can click the Action button in the upper right, (the box with the curved right arrow), and that gives you the option to Open In... iBooks. If you don't have iBooks yet, you can download it free from the App Store.
One it's in iBooks, you can search and go to pages with it. iBooks allows you to create "Collections" (folders), where you can sort your documents (books). Try it out.

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.

Displaying an Incorrect page in a tab control

I'm coming across a weird issue for the first time. I've got a typedef tab control, and when I open the VI, the contents of the first page are displayed in the control, even though the first page is not the active tab. I've attached an example VI. When test tab.vi is opened, you'll notice the String page is active, but the Boolean control is visible. This persists even when the VI is run. Switching pages makes the correct controls display. This only seems to happen when the tab control is a typedef, but I haven't done any thorough testing.
I've observed this on 8.20, which is the most recent version I have installed. I looked for, but didn't find, this issue in the 8.5 or 8.6 bug fix lists. Can anyone confirm that this is happening or let me know if it does not persist in more recent versions?

However, once I operate the tab, go back to the string tab, make current values default, and save, things are OK next time I open it.
It is also good in 8.2.1 once I do the same.

Creating a "welcome page" iView like "Tab Control"

Hi,
Does anyone know the steps i would need to go through to create a similar iview to the
"content provided by sap" iview, "Tab Control" which can be found in :
content provided by sap->admin interfaces->admin iview templates->tab control.
Basically, i want a welcome page with a graphic and also twisty's like in this page.
If someone could provide me with a step by step guide to do this it would be much
appreciated! Thanks,
Samir Vora

Hi Samir,
We use Welcome pages a lot in our portal to provide an overview of different area's of portal content.
All our welcome pages are URL iViews. The HTML content for these pages sits on our Intranet server. We then create a URL iview that points to the appropriate HTML content.
In this way, your Welcome page can have any layout or content you want and is only limited by your HTML skills!
