Hide the Tabs - under Visible Items.
Create an Enum / Ring control with the Tab Names then wire the Enum to the Tab Node. Changing the Enum changes the visible tab.

When I resize the font for the Page Labels on the tab control in LabVIEW 7, the Increment/Decrement size gets messed up. Is there a solution to this problem or is this a bug?

I have noticed in LabVIEW 7.0 and 7.1 that when the text in the page labels display is enlarged, that the arrows enlarge but the top arrow enlarges more then the small arrow but then when you decrease the text size, the arrows stay remain large. This is not a problem in 6.1 because the arrows aren't available. Is there a work around for this bug or do I have to use small text for these page label arrows to look right?

I must admit that I've never used the page labels display and it does look like a bug. You can fix it however. Select the tab control and choose Advanced>Customize. In the control editor, select the page label control and do the same thing. You should be in the control editor for the numeric control and then you can go to edit mode and enlarge the decrement arrow to make it the same size as the increment.

Modifying tab control behavior

I have been toying around with a tab control trying to customize it to
suit my needs. I currently have a tab control with a transparent
background (since it is within another tab control, and I find it looks
far better without any borders or anything) that cotains 4 tabs.
I'm wondering if there's any way to change the colour of the different
tab texts, based on the selection. For instance, if you click on
tab A, which has the text "TAB A", is there any way to change the
colour of that (and only that) text? As it stands, it's somewhat
difficult to distinguish from the other tabs, since all of the tab
outlines are transparent, the text only shifts to the left a little.
I've played around with the properties, but with no success. I
feel like this probably isn't possible, but if anyone has any other
ideas of how to distinguish the text, I'm all ears (or eyes I guess).
Thanks for your help.

Two suggestions: either hide the tabs and create other buttons to handle the switching of your tabs (what I do when I want to create a more elegant interface where tabs "don't make sense") or change the FP colors of all the other pages. That way only your page will have a transparent background and it's label will stand out.

Customizing Tab control and Enum

I am trying to do two things here regarding customizing controls.
The first is to add a down-arrow decoration to an enum so that it looks kind of like a menu ring (click the down arrow to drop down the selections). If I simply paste it on top of the control, the decoration will intercept the click and not drop the selections down. I want to have the control colored, so putting it behind and making the ring text background transparent doesn't really work either. If I make it part of the "Ring Text" background element, it's fine for that one size, but if I resize the control it gets all stretched out.
The second is to modify the "Page Labels Display" in a tab control. The only selection allowed when attempting to customize the tab control is to "replace" the page labels display with a different control type. Every enum or ring that I've tried has simply beeped at me with no replacement. I would really like to get the aforementioned Ring-styled enum in this box as well.
One other quirk that I haven't noticed before (Maybe since I haven't done a lot of work with tabs in the past), but when I'm trying to get context help for anything inside of a tab, the only thing that shows up is the context help for the tab itself. Is that "working as expected"?
Regards,
Mike

hi Mike,
there is another discussion forum covering your first question, but it sounds like your best bet would be a ComboBox:
This will give you the appearance you want, and behaves the same as an Enum.
In order to set up a similar drop down menu of the pages of a Tab Control, it will be a little more indirect. Take a look at the attached example, which populates a combo box with the pages of a Tab Control.
That quirk you mentioned with the Context Help and Tab Controls is a known bug, and is fixed in LabVIEW 2011. Hope this helps!

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.

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?
