Is there a way to add a LED indicator to the tabs in a tab control

I have a tab control with multiple rows of tabs. I would like to know if there is a way that I could add round LED indicators to each of the tabs so that I can quickly see the status of each page.  If I only have one row I can just allow for my LEDs to "hover" over the tab, but this does not work if there are multiple rows since the tabs change locations when they are selected.  Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I decided to take some time (probably way too much time!) to try this out and prove it would work.  See the attachment in LV 8.5.1.
I used arrays and control references to make the code as scalable as possible.  I added several spaces at the end of each label name so that there was some room to place a very small LED.
The trickiest part (and I would save this until the tabs are named, laid out, and the overall tab control is sized) is to find the best location and screen coordinates for each LED.
I discovered for best looks, that the LED should jump up and to the left by 2 pixels when its specific tab is selected, just like the label text does.  Otherwise the LED's just jump around on the screen to match whatever row its respective tab is on.
I have the timeout event randomly turning on and off the LED's, but that would actually be handled by your other code and whatever events determine whether the LED should be on or off.

    Hello again
    The bottom line here is that it IS possible to add a button for this to the CHM toolbar. This is described at the link below:

    The possibly bad news here is that RoboHelp doesn't lend itself to easily allowing you to do it. I tried a few times yesterday with no success. 
    If you are willing to make edits in RoboHelp, then step outside of RoboHelp and use the Microsoft HTML Help Workshop to compile your CHM, you might be able to achieve it.
    I would also heartily encourage you (and others) to file this as an enhancement request with Adobe.

  • Is there a way to add more pinned pdfs to the taskbar icon over the 10 default ones?

    I need to know if there is a way to increase the amount of quick-access pinned files through right clicking the taskbar icon?

    I think the answer to all your problems could be the excellent FREE Sound Editing Program called AUDACITY.
    Download it here:-
    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
    What you need is the "Change the Pitch" filter in the "Effects Menu".
    It will change the pitch without altering the speed.
    (The "Change Tempo" filter is also excellent as you can alter the speed of the sound without making it sound squeaky or rumbly).
    Ian.
    PS. You will need to export the offending soundtrack to Audacity and then import the doctored version back into FCE.

  • Is there a way to add an electronic signature in the Numbers application, like you can in Excel?

    I am trying to add my electronic signature to a spreadsheet created in Microsoft Excel and I have brought it into Numbers on my Mac. I can't seem to find the function in any of the menus.

    but I was afraid of preserving the excel properties as a spreadsheet
    I do not understand.
    The solution I provided allows you to add your signature to ANY document you print to PDF.
    You can always take a picture of your signature and copy and paste the signature as needed in Numbers

  • Is there a way to add a toolbar seperator?

    Hi there,
    Is there a way to add a toolbar seperator on the toolbar before adding a
    custom button?

    Steve,
    Although you can't do it in mail, You can still open the stand alone Contacts app and command click them then drag and drop them into the "To" field like you use to. I know its not ideal but it will allow you to do it similar to what you want.
    Also I would let Apple know and give them feedback on this. https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Hope that helps,

  • I create a birthday calendar in iCal and then click on it in iphoto at the begining of the calendar project each year.  Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar.  Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project?

    I created a birthday calendar to use in iphoto for calendar.  When a new calendar project is started each year, I click on it in.  Some how the birthday did not populate the photo calendar this year.  The photo calendar is almost complete.  Is there a way to add the birthday iCal calendar into the calendar project? I would prefer not to start over.

    Hi,
    If you first select the calendar on the left, so that its background is highlighted blue/grey, when you make a new events they should be added to that calendar.
    Best wishes

  • Is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    what do you mean by your first use of the word "window"? do you mean a visible frame? a section of the gui that the user doesnt see?
    or perhaps you mean you want to add multiple tabs to a single window, so that switching between tabs shows different windows?

  • Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?

    Is there a way to add to the existing values in a container when a LabVIEW prototype (cluster) changes?
    I have a cluster with 90 values..  ninety!  yes that many.
    Change one bloody value and the prototype changes in the TestStand step...  Reload the prototype and guess what happens??!!??
    All the bloody values get reset to defaults!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
    If it was in one place, I could survive the ordeal.  But I have to change bloody prototypes in many places!!!!
    more AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I can't even copy the bloody values!!!!!!!  AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Are there any tricks that I am not aware of, or have forgotten over the years, or...  ...   something??!!??!???!!
    If there are none, I will have to post an improvement to TestStand..  I should mention I am using an older version (4.1).

    Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,
    I am not not very famous with LV and its cluster types.
    So no idea if this works (it works for DataTypes updates very well and a LV cluster is Data Type so.... maybe)
    Make a copy of the step that has to be modified to an new sequencefile. 
    Make modifications the in the copy.
    Now you should have the same DataType Name but other contents in the container. Save it.
    Normally there should be a message box that tells you that version has been incremented. - Accept it.
    Set in StationOptions-File "Allow Automatic ...." to Never.
    Open original sequencefile. Now the there must be a type conflict. Accept/Apply to all  "Use Current Loaded.."
    You have updated the type.....
    Hope this worked,

  • Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address?  This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.

    Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address?  This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.  Is there some way I can open the contact list, click on all of the individual addresses to which I want to send the email without the list closing between each address entry, and have all of my address entries be listed to the email at one time?  Something like it works in Gmail.  I do not want to use set lists, I want to enter different addresses each time I send an email.  And I am a very slow typist, so I don't want to type the first few letters of each recipient's name.  It is much faster for me to just click on the e-mail addresses in the list as a group.  It doesn't make any sense to me to have to reopen the contact list for each address, when it should be so easy to click on all of the addresses I want at one time and then click once to add them all to the email as a group.  If there is a solution to this, please tell me.  Thanks.

    Vatlily,
    Try this:
    1. Select Mail>File>New Message.
    2. Select Mail>Window>Address Panel.
    3. Use (command+click) on the desired addressees in the Address Panel to create the list.
    4. Click "To:" on the top left of the Address Panel.
    The group that you selected will be added to the "To" field in your New Message.

  • Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text ?

    Is there a way to add/delete words from the predictive text options that my iPhone is giving me? I'm using an iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.
    There are specific words that are popping up in the area right above the keyboard where it displays 3 word suggestions to choose from. This area seems to suggest words that I have typed before, I'd like to remove these words. Default seems to select the word in the center and when I'm typing fast on occasion it will recommend and select words that I don't need to use.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank youI would suggest upgrading to a supported version of the database. 9i has been unsupported for many many years now.
    And to answer your question... to the best of my knowledge, there is no workaround. It works as it works.

  • Is there a way to add a single jar to an existing shared library (war)?

    Hello,
    Is there a way to add a single jar to an existing and already deployed shared library (war) in weblogic directly?
    Basically, instead of building and deploying the war each time a new jar should be added to the list of jars present in the war and deploy it in weblogic, is it possible to make the process more automatic and efficient by just adding the new jar to the existing deployed war (no matter if the consumers must be reloaded)?

    Extract the WAR file and rearchive with theJAR file included.

  • Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

    Is there a way to add roman numerals to the footer? (eg. page i of n)

    Hi Emily ,
    You may face challenges doing this task in Acrobat .
    If you have created the PDF from word ,I would recommend doing the page numbering in Word, not Acrobat, since you have more flexibility with that program.
    Or the second option is ,if you know how to play around with java script.Here is the code for the same.
    Yeah, it's possible. Create a unique text field on each page with this code as the custom calculation code:
    event.value = romanize(event.target.page+1);
    Then place this function at the doc-level (I didn't write that one):
    function romanize(num) {
        if (!+num)
            return false;
        var digits = String(+num).split(""),
            key = ["","C","CC","CCC","CD","D","DC","DCC","DCCC","CM",
                   "","X","XX","XXX","XL","L","LX","LXX","LXXX","XC",
                   "","I","II","III","IV","V","VI","VII","VIII","IX"],
            roman = "",
            i = 3;
        while (i--)
            roman = (key[+digits.pop() + (i * 10)] || "") + roman;
        return Array(+digits.join("") + 1).join("M") + roman;
