Reorder tabs in "tab control"

To all those willing to help:
I am using LabVIEW 8.6. I have created several applications using "Tab Controls" to reduce the size of the UI. This last one has been problematic in that the first tab does not display when the application is launched. I have reviewed all project files and configuration settings without luck. I have also searched through the help files and the NI web site without success. So I am posting my question here...
How does one change the tabbing order for the tabs of a "tab control"? Any and all help would be appreciated. My thanks ahead of time.

Bill,
Guenters solution will work if you can programatically determine your tab order. If you would rather rearange your tabs though (see example)
You can right click the tab control
and up pops
I haven't found a way to set this programatically-

Change tabbing shortcut for controls

Is there a way to change the tabbing shortcut to the Enter key, instead of using the Tab key? And is it possible to set the tabbing order for controls?
Thanks,
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would advise against it as using the Tab key for navigation has been standardized for a long time. But you could use the Key Down? filter event in an event stucture to modify a keys behaviour. Specifically if someone hits the enter key pass 9 to Char and ASCII to VKey. You could also use this to disable the tab key.

Tab Order under Control Properties - Display Tab not working

At present I'm trying to order a couple of Input-Fields and Checkboxes for the Tab-Key. Therefor I tried to use the "Tab Order" Property in the Control Properties - Display Tab - Section: Layout - Tab Order.
In the SAP Library this property is described that way:
When user tabs through the controls of the component in runtime, the number indicating what place this control has in the tab order. Note that -1 removes the control from the tab order entirely and 0 indicates that it is highlighted according to its appearance in the component
Source: [Help.sap|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/42/c2ba7f545e3116e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm]
The problem now is that VC is completely ignoring this property and just using the tab order in the way the (Input-) fields where created.
At present I don't see any opportunity to give my "Form view" any logical tab order.
Is there any workaround? Is it a bug? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
It seems that this tab order works only for few of the controls like pushbutton, radio button, checkbox, toggle button...
i too tried this in my model but it was not working for the input fields of other types.
regarding -1 -2 ... these values work normally as per their values here -1 -2 order functions just like 2 1.
hope this helps you.

Error in evaluations tab of a control

Hello Experts,
In the evaluations tab of a control, when we try to open activities Monitoring, Control Effectiveness (MO, CO) it is showing the error (as shown in screenshot).
But we are able to open activities related to control design and control self-assessment.
Could any one suggest what could be the issue.

Additional Tab in tapstrip control

Hi Friends,
I have created a screen with 5 tabs using tapstrip control with wizard. Now I want to add another 2 tabs to the existing list. How to add the same. Kindly guide me.
TIA.
Regards,
Mark K

Hi,
Go to your screen painter -> Click on the tab strip control ->In the bottom attributes , change the Tab title to 7 -> This will create two more tabs
Now click on the newly created tab push buttons -> Give text and Fct code ( if required )
if required
Create sub screens and drop it inside this two new tabs. eq ( sub_scr1 and sub_scr2)
In your PBO and PAI of the screen you will have CALL SUBSCREEN , add this 2 subscreens there.
or
Directly add the fields you required in the tab strip.

Report Tab in Mitigation Control

Dear Experts,
Can anyone explain me the purpose/usage of Report Tab in Mitigration Control. I have browsed the forum but could not understand the actual need of this tab as I found different answers.
Thanks,
Raj

HI Raj,
Access Controls is used as a documental tool for Mitigating Controls, rather than a implementing tool, i.e. you apply the control against the role/user, but the actual application of the control is performed outside of Access Control. This may be realized by running a custom SAP report to monitor the usage of the risky functions within the ECC system etc.
Access Control allows you to document such reports against the Mitigation Control, so this is the purpose of the tab. Given that GRC 10.0 integrates AC and PC, Mitigating Controls is master data that is shared amongst the different GRC modules, so I get the feeling Process Controls might utilize the "Report" data and check if the reports are being monitored by the control monitor/s at the scheduled frequency etc.

Report tab in mitigating control - RAR 5.3

While creating mitigating control there are 3 tabs - Associated risks / Monitors / Reports. What is the use of reports tab ?
The control is working even with populating the report tab.

If you have a report that you want mitigation monitors to run in order to perform the control activities you can put it in there.
The alert functionality will then allow you to report on monitors that did not run that report in the specified period.
Frank.

Color of selected tab panel tab

Hello all,
I'd like to know the orange like color of the upper part of a selected tab panel tab, see the picture below.
Actually, these are two colors, orange and a darker, 'shaded' orange. I don't mind which color value I can obtain, but I'd like to use the same color for other controls (LED, decoration frame) as well.
Does this color depend on the Windows theme? If so, I'd be happy about a possibility of obtaining this property programmatically.
If this color is always the same, I can obtain it myself using Photoshop...
Thanks a lot,
Wolfgang
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When the panel has ATTR_CONFORM_TO_SYSTEM_THEME set, CVI lets Windows draw the tabs by calling DrawThemeBackground with partIDs such as TABP_TABITEM, etc. The picture that you posted is the XP theme. The Windows 7 theme is different and it looks like this...
I checked out the Windows function GetSysColor, but didn't see a way to get that color. Anyway, since the tabs draw differently on XP and Vista/Windows 7, you may not want to use that color in different controls.

How do I restore my tabs and tab groups after an update to version 36.0?

I work with many tabs when I use Firefox. I keep them ordered in Tab Groups, which helps separate the different kids of work I do and interests I have. I have been using this environment for years. When I started my work today, Firefox updated to v36.0, and the following behaviour was noticed:
1. There is only one tab group when attempting to show Tab Groups in Panorama, as opposed to around a dozen;
2. Normally though the hidden tabs (the tabs in the same group as the startup group and not the default page) don't download content until clicked, the name of the page and icon, if available, will show on the tab. Presently, the tabs show "New Tab" and no icon. There appears, however, to be the number of tabs that exist across all Tab Groups but now are ghosts this one, default Tab Group. I'd have to add, though, I don't count the number of tabs, so I can't be exactly sure. When clicked, there is just a blank page. So it is odd that Firefox knows they are there but cannot simply attach the address to it.
I have tried to restore the following files from my Windows Home Server backup to the AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<gobbletygook>.default folder:
1. In the sessionstore-backups folder, I replaced the previous.js, recovery.bak and recovery.js files (not any of the upgrade~) with files from yesterday and from two days before.
When that didn't do anything, I replaced
2. sessionCheckpoints.json
I didn't see any file with a recent date that appeared to be one that I should restore. I should add that I do see hidden files. I thought about restoring the whole lot, but wasn't sure how this would affect the program on v36.0 and the profile files on 35.0.1.
I have deadlines this week and need to immediately restore my environment in order to make those deadlines. I have no list of addresses to my Web pages to work in IE or other. Any help would be very much appreciated.
On a second note, I had been wondering recently whether this tab group environment is a suitable way to maintain my work environment. Occasionally, when opening Panorama, I would get an error saying a script is taking too long, but if I clicked Continue, it would display the groups in a few seconds. I had considered putting all of it in Bookmarks though it would be tedious and more difficult to access and open multiple tabs. In the beginning, I tried Tab Groups thinking it was a simple matter of maintaining a table of addresses (in tabs) with a tab group ID or name. How could that go wrong? Well, it has, so it is obviously more complicated than that, and I didn't realise that upgrades would affect personal data. Should I abondon using tab groups?

With the help of information from user, ptressel, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032154#answer-673322 a post here about the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released], I was able to easily recover my tabs and tab groups as follows:
# close Firefox and, perhaps, allow a few seconds (30s?) for any final closing of files;
# check to see if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named like the one I documented in my original post above;
# if it is not timestamped prior to the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder;
# check if the recovery.js file is suitably timestamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
# At this point, you are likely to find that none of them are prior to your problem occuring. If so, open your backups of this folder and go through steps 2-4 to find a file prior to your problem occuring.
# When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js"
# Open Firefox. Mine opened up as desired.
This is a Windows solution. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet that as this is just a file copy and renaming, it is likely the same.
For Windows users, you may find you need to sign out and login as an administrator in order to access the backups. You need not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.
Hope that helps.

How can we prevent JTabbedPanes from transferring focus to components outside of the tabs during tab traversal?

Hi,
I noticed a strange focus traversal behavior of JTabbedPane.
During tab traversal (when the user's intention is just to switch between tabs), the focus is transferred to a component outside of the tabs (if there is a component after/below the JTabbedPane component), if using Java 6. For example, if using the SSCCE below...
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.Box;
import javax.swing.BoxLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class TabbedPaneTest extends JPanel {
 public TabbedPaneTest() {
 super(new BorderLayout());
 JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
 tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 1", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
 tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(0, KeyEvent.VK_1);
 tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 2", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
 tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(1, KeyEvent.VK_2);
 tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 3", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
 tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(2, KeyEvent.VK_3);
 tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 4", buildPanelWithChildComponents());
 tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(3, KeyEvent.VK_4);
 JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
 panel.add(tabbedPane);
 JButton button = new JButton("Dummy component that gains focus when switching tabs");
 panel.add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
 * To replicate the focus traversal issue, please follow these steps -
 * 1) Run this program in Java 6; and then
 * 2) Click on a child component inside any tab; and then
 * 3) Click on any other tab (or use the mnemonic keys ALT + 1 to ALT 4).
 button.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
 @Override
 public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
 System.err.println("Gained focus (not supposed to when just switching tabs).");
 add(new JScrollPane(panel));
 private JPanel buildPanelWithChildComponents() {
 JPanel panel = new JPanel();
 BoxLayout boxlayout = new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS);
 panel.setLayout(boxlayout);
 panel.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(3));
 for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
 panel.add(new JTextField(10));
 panel.add(Box.createVerticalStrut(3));
 return panel;
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
 public void run() {
 JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test for Java 6");
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 frame.add(new TabbedPaneTest());
 frame.pack();
 frame.setVisible(true);
... Then we can replicate this behavior by following these steps:
1) Run the program in Java 6; and then
2) Click on a child component in any of the tabs; and then
3) Click on any other tab (or use the mnemonic keys 'ALT + 1' to 'ALT + 4').
At step 3 (upon selecting any other tab), the focus would go to the component below the JTabbedPane first (hence the printed message in the console), before actually going to the selected tab.
This does not occur in Java 7, so I'm assuming it is a bug that is fixed. And I know that Oracle suggests that we should use Java 7 nowadays.
The problem is: We need to stick to Java 6 for a certain application. So I'm looking for a way to fix this issue for all our JTabbedPane components while using Java 6.
So, is there a way to prevent JTabbedPanes from passing the focus to components outside of the tabs during tab traversal (e.g. when users are just switching between tabs), in Java 6?
Note: I've read the release notes between Java 6u45 to Java 7u15, but I was unable to find any changes related to the JTabbedPane component. So any pointers on this would be deeply appreciated.
Regards,
James

Hi Kleopatra,
Thanks for the reply.
Please allow me to clarify first: Actually the problem is not that the child components (inside tabs) get focused before the selected tab. The problem is: the component outside of the tabs gets focused before the selected tab. For example, the JButton in the SSCCE posted above gets focused when users switch between tabs, despite the fact that the JButton is not a child component of the JTabbedPane.
It is important for me to prevent this behavior because it causes a usability issue for forms with 'auto-scrolling' features.
What I mean by 'auto-scrolling' here is: a feature where the form automatically scrolls down to show the current focused component (if the component is not already visible). This is a usability improvement for long forms with scroll bars (which saves the users' effort of manually scrolling down just to see the focused component).
To see this feature in action, please run the SSCCE below, and keep pressing the 'Tab' key (the scroll pane will follow the focused component automatically):
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.awt.event.FocusAdapter;
import java.awt.event.FocusEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JViewport;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class TabbedPaneAutoScrollTest extends JPanel {
 private AutoScrollFocusHandler autoScrollFocusHandler;
 public TabbedPaneAutoScrollTest() {

 autoScrollFocusHandler = new AutoScrollFocusHandler();
 JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
 tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 1", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
 tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(0, KeyEvent.VK_1);
 tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 2", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
 tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(1, KeyEvent.VK_2);
 tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 3", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
 tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(2, KeyEvent.VK_3);
 tabbedPane.addTab("Tab 4", buildPanelWithChildComponents(20));
 tabbedPane.setMnemonicAt(3, KeyEvent.VK_4);

 button.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
 @Override
 public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
 System.err.println("Gained focus (not supposed to when just switching tabs).");
 button.addFocusListener(autoScrollFocusHandler);
 JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(panel);
 add(scrollPane);
 autoScrollFocusHandler.setScrollPane(scrollPane);
 private JPanel buildPanelWithChildComponents(int numberOfChildComponents) {
 final JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
 final String labelPrefix = "Dummy Field ";
 final Insets labelInsets = new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5);
 final Insets textFieldInsets = new Insets(5, 0, 5, 0);
 final GridBagConstraints gridBagConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
 JTextField textField;
 for (int i = 0; i < numberOfChildComponents; i++) {
 gridBagConstraints.insets = labelInsets;
 gridBagConstraints.gridx = 1;
 gridBagConstraints.gridy = i;
 panel.add(new JLabel(labelPrefix + (i + 1)), gridBagConstraints);
 gridBagConstraints.insets = textFieldInsets;
 gridBagConstraints.gridx = 2;
 textField = new JTextField(22);
 panel.add(textField, gridBagConstraints);
 textField.addFocusListener(autoScrollFocusHandler);
 return panel;
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
 public void run() {
 JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test for Java 6 with auto-scrolling");
 frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 frame.add(new TabbedPaneAutoScrollTest());
 frame.setSize(400, 300);
 frame.setVisible(true);
* Crude but simple example for auto-scrolling to focused components.
* Note: We don't actually use FocusListeners for this feature,
* but this is short enough to demonstrate how it behaves.
class AutoScrollFocusHandler extends FocusAdapter {
 private JViewport viewport;
 private JComponent view;
 public void setScrollPane(JScrollPane scrollPane) {
 viewport = scrollPane.getViewport();
 view = (JComponent) viewport.getView();
 @Override
 public void focusGained(FocusEvent event) {
 Component component = (Component) event.getSource();
 view.scrollRectToVisible(SwingUtilities.convertRectangle(component.getParent(),
 component.getBounds(), view));
Now, while the focus is still within the tab contents, try to switch to any other tab (e.g. by clicking on the tab headers, or by using the mnemonic keys 'ALT + 1' to 'ALT + 4')...
... then you'll notice the following usability issue:
1) JRE 1.6 causes the focus to transfer to the JButton (which is outside of the tabs entirely) first; then
2) In response to the JButton gaining focus, the 'auto-scrolling' feature scrolls down to the bottom of the form, to show the JButton. At this point, the tab headers are hidden from view since there are many child components; then
3) JRE 1.6 transfers the focus to the tab contents; then
4) The 'auto-scrolling' feature scrolls up to the selected tab's contents, but the tab header itself is still hidden from view (as a side effect of the behavior above); then
5) Users are forced to manually scroll up to see the tab headers whenever they are just switching between tabs.
In short, the tab headers will be hidden when users switch tabs, due to the Java 6 behavior posted above.
That is why it is important for me to prevent the behavior in my first post above (so that it won't cause usability issues when we apply the 'auto-scrolling' feature to our forms).
Best Regards,
James

What happened to my tabs and tab groups when I synced to a new computer?

I have spent the morning trying to sync Firefox. On my previous computer, I was running FF31, but not as a clean install--as an upgrade from FF28. In the Sync screen, I saw my email address and recovery key, so I thought I was good to go.
Turns out that that wasn't the case, and I needed to set up a new Sync account.
Here are the steps I took to get my data back:
1) I uninstalled FF31, reverted to 28, used my email address and recovery key, and got my information back.
2) Then I updated to FF31.
3) In FF31, I unlinked my computer, created a new Sync account, and logged in to sync my data.
However, I was unable to access my tab groups. And when I upgraded to FF31, my tab groups still weren't back.
I tried looking in "Tabs from Other Devices", and there were no other devices listed.
How can I get my tabs and tab groups back? I had literally dozens of hours of work-related research saved in these tabs. I have so many visited sites in my history that there's no way I'd be able to recreate all of them.
Please help--I'm desperate. I can't lose all of those tabs.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode". 
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Firefox loses my tabs and tab groups

I closed down my system normally last night. Firefox closed down. When I started up Firefox this morning all of my tabs and tab groups had gone - AGAIN!
Firefox has done this to me several times and I have never been able to recover my tabs and groups by any of the methods described previously. I am currently using FF 29.0.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate. This loss of tabs and groups has happened in exactly this way on several previous occasions over quite a few years with different versions of FF.
My history is still present.
Leading up to this I have noticed that FF 29.0.1 was not faithfully preserving tab states. There have been several tabs where, during a session, I have changed the URL that the tab was pointing to only to find that FF has preserved the original URL for that tab when I have restarted it the next morning.
I have come to suspect that what is happening is:
1) FF saves the tab and groups state in sessionstate.js on close down (and at intervals while running). It creates sessionstore.js with a syntax error in it.
2) On start up FF loads sessionstore.js, hits a syntax error, (silently) decides that it can't use that store and creates a new one, thereby losing all information in the previous sessionstore.js.
When I save the new sessionstore.js as something else, rename sessionstore.bak to sessionstore.bak.js and then double click it to launch it I get an error dialog:
Line: 1
Char: 11
Error: Expected ';'
Code: 800A03Ec
Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error.
Here are the first few characters of the file:
{"windows":[],"selectedWindow":0,"_closedWindows":[{"tabs":[{"entries":[{"url":"http://php.net/",
The frustrating thing is that I (think I) can see data in there relating to my tabs and groups. Because the JS is minified it's almost impossible to extract the data structures in a meaningful way. Because the file is so large (>2.9MB) and the syntax error my code editors can't make any sense of prettifying it so it's very difficult to pull apart.
I question the use of JS for preserving data in this way. There may be performance reasons for using JS. Wouldn't it be better to use something like XML? At least us poor humans would have a chance of eyeballing the data and doing a manual recovery if necessary. Sod it! We could even write a program to load up the tabs ad groups from the XML!
I have wondered about using Firefox Sync for all of my systems. My worry is that a problem on one machine will blow away my settings on all of them. Does anyone have any experience with respect to FF Sync in this respect?
I've preserved copies of my sessionstate.bak (along with the previous one) in the hope that someone may have a way of recovering the tab and group information contained in there.
If anyone has any suggestions about recovering the tab and group information I'd be really glad to hear them. I can't say loudly enough how frustrating it is to keep losing the tabs and groups. Each time it happens it blows away the context of the several jobs that I'm doing at any one time.
Oh. And I'm writing this message using Chrome as my browser.

What have you tried for session recovery so far?
3MB is quite large and may well indicate some corruption. Still, since as you can see it is largely text, you often can extract the URLs. Doing that by hand would be arduous...
I assume you have seen the following links in other threads mentioning data mining techniques to rescue the URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:
* Using Firefox's Browser Console (formerly known as Error Console): https://support.mozilla.org/questions/969046#answer-471950
* Using Firefox developer tool "Scratchpad": http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=622036&start=60&p=12098147#p12098147
* Using a third party website: https://firefox-session-restore.herokuapp.com/
Do any of those work on your file(s)?

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

Components will not assign to tabs in tab container

When I drag a new component (such as a Spreadsheet Table) to any tab on a tab container, it just becomes another object on the canvas (and not included within the tab or tab set).
How do I actually place objects within the individual tabs?

David:
Thanks for the response. I had just upgraded to xCelsius Engage 2008 and had not entered my product code in License Manager under the Help menu.
I had some functionality during my initial use after the upgrade, but not the tab container apparently. Seems to work fine now that I entered the product code.

Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads 66% and then hangs. Has anyone else reported having this issue?

Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution website (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads about 66% and then hangs (loading). I have let it load until NFCU asks me if I want to cancel the session, a much to long of a load time. Has anyone else reported having this issue with NFCU or Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18?
I have also posed the question to NFCU, currently awaiting response and will share what was given.

How can I make open link in new tab cause tabs to the new tab's left to shift left rather than tabs to the new tabs right to shift right?

When I follow a link in a new tab, the tab opens to the right of the current tab as expected. To make room for the tab on the tab bar, any tabs to the right of the current tab shift right. If there is room for all the tabs on the bar, this behavior is perfect. If however, there isn't sufficient room, some tabs must be hidden to the right or the left of the visible bar. Currently the rightmost visible tab is hidden. This behavior is suboptimal for me because I very often want to switch to tabs on the far right while I very seldom want to switch to tabs on the far left. Is there is a way to cause tabs to the left of the new tab to shift left thereby hiding the leftmost visible tab? Thanks

I'm not aware of a way to make Firefox hide the first tab instead of the last tab; maybe there is an add-on with that feature.
There is a hidden setting to open the new tab at the end of the bar instead of next to the page you're reading. Then, of course, you won't have this problem. Instead, you'll have the problem that it's hard to figure out which tab had that link in it. In case you want to try it out, here's how.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''tabs''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' preference to switch it from true to false (it should turn bold)
You're done here. You can keep it open in case you hate the change and watch to switch it right back. In that case, double-click again to switch it back to true.
