Smooth Tab-controls

Hi,
As NI send me the newest version of LabView FD 6i I was looking around for
some new and usefull controls and functions. The first thing I saw was the
TAB-Control. YEAH, it looks great, and it may give me some more flexibilitiy
in building my User interfaces. As I looked through some examples my eye was
catched by an example called:
FIR filtering using Optional Specs.vi. It wasn't the analysis in it but...
the 'smooth' TAB-controls that took me by surprice. How did they do this?
Anyone?
As I tried to implement this into a new VI using the catchy round controls
(LabView is getting the looks of a cheap 3D-play, but that's another
problem) I couldn't change my TAB-control into the smooth one I wanted. How
is this performed?
Is it som
e property I'm missing?
Thanx in advance,
Boozz.

Sometimes live is easy,
Thanks, The one I was looking for was the Tab-control in the array-palette.
Boozz

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.
Regards,
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.

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

Tab control background color matching

I have a system style tab control. I realized the when the program runs in exe mode, the background color of my label on the tab control doesn't match the backgound color of the tab control. The background color of the tab control is different between exe mode and development mode. Anyone help? How do I match the color? Thanks!

Cursor Legend Tab Control BUG

Attached is a VI illustrating a bug with the Cursor Legend when graphs are in tab controls. If you enter in a number in the "Cursor X position to move to", then switch pages on the tab control, you'll notice the cursor has moved to the appropriate place, BUT the cursor legend has not changed to reflect that. Once you manually move it, it updates.
In short, if the cursor position changes programmatically, the cursor legend will update ONLY IF THE XY GRAPH IS VISIBLE, even though the cursor position DOES change.
I hope someone from NI will see this post and add it to the bug list (if not already there??). If anyone knows a work around, that would be appreciated also.

Good idea. It doesn't work exactlly, but gave me the idea for how to work around. It appears even if you have a tab value change event doing the same thing the Cursor X Position numeric indicator value change event, the cursor legend X value will not change. You can even try entering the same value in the indicator and pressing return after switching tabs, the cursor legend will not update. It thinks for some reason it is on the correct index. I made a Tab Value change event that first moves the cursor to the next index, then moves the cursor back to the correct index. Ugly but works. Hopefully in the next ver of LV they will have fixed a lot of these cursor bugs; there is definitely some work to be done (i.e. fixing cursor X position for XY graphs, an extremelly annoying bug)

Possible bug with Tab Control and Context Help?

I created Description and Tip text for each Tab of a tab control I am using on my front panel. I have a subVI that is called by selecting a menu item from my main front panel. The subVI's front panel also has a menu system and a Tab Control. I have Description and Tip text written for each of the tabs on the subVI's front panel.
When I enable context help from the menu of my main VI, the proper help text shows up for the tabs on the main vi and, when I bring up the subVI's front panel, for its tabs as well.
So far so good...
Now I builld the application and run it as an executable. For ALL of my panel tab descriptions, I get the tab's label in bold text, but no description (just a blank area).
Is this a bug in LabVIEW?

I'm still seeing this behavior in LV8.2.1. Does anyone know if/when it was fixed? Also, my tip strips show up in the corner of the monitor when I mouse over a tab (in both the executable and the development version).
I see it still even in 8.5.
The Help part of the bug is still NOT fixeed by NI.
But I dont get the tool tip appearing in the corner of the monitor, it is showing up as usual.
