Quick Q: Tab controls?

Is there a way to make a button 'skipped over' when using the Tab key? The search criteria form has buttons to the right of the first two text boxes, curious if its possible to have the Tab button go directly from the first field, to the second field, to the third field. (Tab works fine normally past that point, only text boxes remain after that)
Not a major issue, just makes it more convenient if it is possible.

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.

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

After installing Elements 11 the Quick Start tab is missing?

i installed and paid for elements 11 but now i cannot access the program. the quick start tab is missing. I cant start the program but i still have the files?

mrspecialk
I think that the answer will end up being a complete uninstall reinstall of Premiere Elements 11 to default computer location if you have installation files or installation disc. But, please read the following first.
Thanks for the additional information. The following is going to be based on the information supplied, that is,
Premiere Elements 11 is definitely installed on your computer as evidenced by its presence in Control Panel/Installed Programs List
Windows 7 32 bit computer
You say that you cannot find a desktop icon for Premiere Elements 11 after installation.
I will ask again just so that I do not take anything for granted...if you click on Start, All Programs, do you see "Adobe Premiere Elements 11" listed anywhere?
You say that you cannot find the following two files on your computer. It appears that you are using the search function of the computer to look for
Adobe Premiere Elements 11.exe
and
Adobe Premiere Elements.exe
Instead of the Search for find those files, can you take the longer route and follow the path to them folder to folder. I have Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit, not 32 bit, but I believe this will be the path to follow folder by folder clicking
Computer
Local Disk (C:)
Program Files Folder
Adobe Folder
Premiere Elements 11 Folder
and, inside the Premiere Elements 11 Folder should be the two .exe files that you seek. Scroll down line list of folders and files there to find it.
Do you find the two .exe files there?
If not, then I would suggest that you go to the Control Panel and uninstall Premiere Elements 11.
Then reinstall Premiere Elements 11, making sure that you let it install to the default location of the program.
Then look for the desktop icon and those two .exe files again to confirm that the program has installed correctly.
Please let us know the results.
Thank you.

Updating Tab Control programmatically from within StateChart

I would like to update a tab control, visible page, based on the current state, using the StateChart Module. I first tried creating a reference to the tab control and passing that to a property node within the state in the statechart. However when I drop the reference in the state it pulls every control associated with the tab control into the state, no good. I tried with a property node with same results. My next thought was to use a shared variable, but I dont believe that I can have a shared variable with enum data type. Anyone have a solution for this problem? It seems like someone else must have encountered the same issue at some point. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Cheers!

Don't forget Kudos for Good Answers, and Mark a solution if your problem is solved.

The example uses the StateChart module, if you have the statechart module it is probably easier for you to try and replicate, just create a state in the statechart and place a tab control on the front panel of the vi that calls the statechart, and then create a reference to the tab and place it in the state of the statechart. I will go ahead and make a quick example, but be warned that without the statechart module you wont be able to open it.
I apologize for the zipped folder, I needed to attach more than 3 files.

How can I lock a tab control untill fuction within tab is complete?

Hi
I am a little stumpt. What I would like to do is to lock a Tab control until the fuction within the tab is complete (and have a dialogue box saying something like "fuction 1 must stop before you can run function 2").
I realise some event based programming would have been best but I wonder if there is a quicker fix as the code I produced is quite complex now.
I attach an example (tab control and two case stuctures) to clarify what I need to do.
I know there is probably a really simple answer so sorry to be so dim.
Many thanks
Ash

I'm still of the opinion that you need to disable the tab control. It's quite hard to give advice without knowing the background. Ok, I know what you want to accomplish, but I don't know how it fits in the rest of your app.
Ha look at the "wizard" template which could be another solution for you.

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,

Can you print all the tab control's contents and include the tabs?

We are trying to generate a report that includes the contents of a tab control (graphs, text). Using the Append Control Image to Report.vi, we are only able to print out the active tab and the tab is cut off of the image. How can we generate reports that include all the tab pages and their contents and include the labeling tabs?
Thanks in advance.
Jim

I do have a workaround for makinging the prints but it looks like some sort of cropped screensave that cuts off the tabs. In my sample I was printing out 3 of the tab controls and you can see there are three by the cut off tabs. Is there a setting to allow for more of the graph and its surroundings to be "captured"?

Make the tab control a control and not an indicator. If you want to write
to it you need to create a local variable.

Data Origin Types not filled in the tab "Control Data" of BP interface

Hello experts,
I have loaded the clients from ECC6.0 to CRM 4.0.
Before I have loaded the clients I have maintained the data origin type for the BP in spro -> cross application components -> SAP Business Partner -> Business partner -> Basic settings -> Data Origin -> Maintain Data Origin Type.
After I have done the load initial of clients, the field "Data Origin" is empty in the tab "Control Data" in BP interface. If I do F4 in the field appear the configuration that I did in spro appear.
For this field will appear filled I'll need to do more configurations in spro?
Best regards,
Mary

Hi Mary,
The middleware does not fill this field in BP master data. You can maintain data origin type in SPRO, however the mBdoc does not use this customizing in order to fill this field.
Please try to use the BADI CRM_DATAEXCHG_BADI in order to fill this field during master data download.
It hope it helps.

Gabriel Santana

Horizontal tabs when they are on the left side of tab control

I have a tab control for a touch screen where I was going to use buttons along the left side to change tabs, and hide the tabs. However, I realized I can put the tabs on the left side of the tab control and remove my buttons all together. Only issue is, I would like them (along with their font) to be horizontal, not vertical as they are shown in my screenshot. Is there a way to change this?

It's a really poor design aspect of tab controls that the text is sideways when the tabs are on the left or right side.
I've looked into it and found no way to re-orient the text.
However you can put images on the tabs instead of text, and the images can be of text (correctly oriented of course).
The attached code can be used to generate such a tab control.

How to hide a tab in a Tab Control by Property Node?

Hi,
I have a Tab Control in my Front Panel. So, using a array of LEDs, I would like to hide some tabs, probably using Property Node functions, but I can't find what option do it. Is it possible?

Thanks Macro! I came to the forum to find a solution for this exact problem, it's nice to find it already laid out for me so clearly.

Using a jQuery list box placed onto a tab control doesn't seem to work for posting?

Hello,
I developed a U.I. in Dreamweaver for a product and have several list boxes that use the onChange modifier to collect what the user selects from the list. I use the onChange=this.form.submit() function to grab the user's selection from the list box..
When this dropdown list box code is placed onto a form, it posts properly and I can retrieve the user's list selection. If however I place the list box code onto a Tab page from a jQuery Tab Control, developed in Dreamweaver, the posting doesn't seem to work.
I must be missing something because identical code is working fine when the list box code is placed on a form yet when the code is repeated from within a Tab, it isn't working.
The code is simple, and shown below). The list values are coming from a MySQL table.
$MyQuantity_query="SELECT * FROM Quantity_Table";
$MyQuantity_Result=mysqli_query($cxn,$MyQuantity_query) or Die ("Cannot connect");
echo"<select name='ThisQuantity[$RowCounter]' value='ThisQuantity[$Rowcounter]' onChange='this.form.submit()'><option value='-1' selected>Qty</option>";
While($MyQuantity_Row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($MyQuantity_Result))
extract($MyQuantity_Row);
echo"<option value='$Qty_Number'>$Qty_Number</option>";
echo"</select>";
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I tried placing the selection list inside of
tags but posting still doesn’t seem to be working?
