Tab control using keyboard functions

Hi,
Thanks very much for helping with my questions.
I want to know how to open different tabs of my application using key board keys (hot key).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Once the tab has key-focus (either tab to it or set key-focus) the left and right arrow keys will select different tabs.

  • How to control the tab control using event structure?

    Hi,
    I am using tab control and event structure in the program.
    When i run the application event is not happening for the active page.
    When user switches from active page to the other page then event is taking place for all pages
    So, how to get the event trigger for the active page when the application is started
    For more clarification i am attaching the code "Test Control Tab using Event Structure.vi"

    You have a basic misunderstanding of dataflow. Maybe you should start with some tutorials or study some of the examples that ship with LabVIEW.
    The event structure belongs inside the while loop, and not vice versa. RIght now, the event structure only runs exactly once and never again.
    If the stop is pressed first, the VI will stop. Game over.
    If the tab control is changed (from any state to any other state!), the inner loop will spin forever as fast as the CPU allows, either executing one or the other case. It just reads the tab terminal to decide which case to execute. Changing tab never triggers any events. The VI is trapped inside the event until stop is pressed to stop the VI.
    you were closer to a reasonable program in the other thread:

    Have you tried execution highlighting? Maybe things would become more clear of you do.

  • Tab control always on front

    Dear LabVIEWers,
    is there a way to have a tab control always on the front of the screen. In my case a "small" tab control that contains controls for the general program is embedded in a bigger tab control for different functions. As mentioned I want to have the general tab control always be visible on the front ...
    Thank you very much for any help,
    Michael

    The typical solution is to place the object above the tab control rather
    than in it. Start with the object outside of the tab, Select it so that
    it can be moved with the keyboard, and use arrows and shift arrows to
    move it to the right location. Note that it has a shadow beneath it
    indicating that it is above rather than in the object it is over.

    Hi:
    Oh, I see that someone worked faster than me, anyway I will post my
    work so it doesn''t get useless. I couldn´t see your VI since I'm one
    of those dinosaurs still using LabVIEW 7.0. I've made a small VI that
    shows how to make visible/invisible the pages on a tab control. Hope
    this helps you.

  • Programatically Change Tab Control Image

    Is it possible to change the tab image of a
    tab control using program calls?  I can add an image to a tab by
    right clicking the tab, then selecting Advanced --> Tab Layout
    --> Import Image From Clipboard.  This works well when editing
    the VI, but I would like to change the image while the VI is
    running.  Any help?
    I have found no resources online, or by looking at the property node or invoke node for the tab control.

    Not possible. The image can only be set while in edit mode.

  • 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?

  • How do I turn off the requirement to press control when using a function key

    When using my wireless keyboard, it requires me to press controls to use the function keys (F3, F5, F70.) However, this makes it so some of my games controls won' work,(For example, in Minecraft I can't access the debug menu.) Is there any way to disable this.Thank you for your support

    Please take these steps if you're prompted for a password when moving items in your home folder to the Trash.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/.Trash
    2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
    4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
    5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
    6. Close the Info window and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • Tab Control Property Node gives a build error when used in a VI for LabVIEW PDA

    Hello,
        Iam new to LabVIEW development & need help regarding this:
        We are trying to port a LabVIEW application from desktop to a Windows Mobile PDA. Please note that the LabVIEW application works fine on the desktop. In one of the VIs, a Tab control property node is used which gives a build error with LabVIEW PDA project. A sample VI which shows the problem & the error list snapshot is attached with this post. Can anyone please suggest an alternate approach to achieve the same functionality with LabVIEW PDA? Waiting for an early response from anyone...
    Thanks & Regards,

        Am glad that i got a response, thanks. The following links indicate that Tab control is supported on PDA target:

        I feel that the Tab control property node that has been used in the VI (which is attached earlier) may not be supported on the PDA target. Can u (or any LabVIEW expert) suggest an alternate approach to achieve the same goal with LabVIEW PDA (changing colour of Tab control pages programatically)??
        I had missed out some details earlier: We are using LabVIEW 8.5 PDA module on a Windows Mobile PDA.

  • How to use REFNUM to communicate between Tab Control Indicator panel and subVI without explicit connections?

    Hi! One of my test programs needs to show many readings on the fron panel. I used a 4 page Tab Control to separate
    different catagory readings and put them in the clusters. If I connect these indicator clusters to the subVI by refnum explicitly, the program runs too slow. So I am trying to make the subVI communicate with the front panel without explicite refnum connection. So far, the subVI can communicate with the clusters on the front panel but not on the Tab Controls. Is anyone can give me some ideas how to communicate/pass the data to the clustes on the
    Tab Control? Thanks,

    Hi Qian,
    If I understand the question correctly; you want to know if there is some other way to access the controls on the tab control without actually using a refnum from the VI that has the controls.
    To answer this question I would say that LabVIEW is a very powerful programming language and one of the very cool features is that it gives you access to all the controls on a VI into another VI without actually passing any data between them.
    The best way to do this would be using VI Server. The functions that you need to call would be Open VI reference to open a reference to your VI having all the controls. Then use a combination of Invoke nodes and Property node get access to the controls on the front panel of your VI.
    Do let me know if you have further questions.

  • Why is it so hard to just use Keyboard controls to navigate Finder?

    In pre OS X days I and my co-workers would use only keyboard shortcuts to navigate file servers faster than the network could even refresh the display just using Command keys and Tab and letters…
    In Finder if I want to move to the shortcuts side-bar (the way you can in an Open dialogue box with Tab) it seems to require cursor action, and since I use a tablet that means moving RH away from keyboard and gripping pen, which we all seem to hold between thumb and palm.
    If I hit Tab with a Finder window active, I get the current directory of files and I can manually move thorugh Cmd-Sft-D for desktop and then drill down etc etc  I also find it can be really hard to make a window or floating pallete the active window, and even when it is, impossible to highlight the correct field/content just using Keyboard shortcuts. I'm finding hard to beleive I not missing something, this being Apples OS and Apple have had unviersal access for a few decades!

    Hmmm, if these are commonly used Folders, try dagging them to the right side of the Dock between Applications & trash.

  • How to stop a while loop when using tab control

    How do you use a tab contol to stop what is happening on one tab when you switch to another tab?  In the test example I attached, I have a while loop nested inside a case structure controlled by the tab control.  When I tab to page two the elapsed timer starts but when I switch to another tab it does not stop.  I can't come up with an easy way to stop or exit the while loop when I change tabs. 
    Thank you

    I played with it a little more and came up with this fix.  This fixes it but is not tied to the changing tabs as I was looking for.  Is this just too many nested loops and a bad idea?

  • HT3887 how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function F keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

    how can i configure my wireless keyword so i can use the Function <F> keys to control volume etc...? I am using 10.5.8 OS

    little wireless cameras would not have the ability to send back to the base, even thought the base can reach it.
    Now if you take regular cameras and wire them into a Cisco switch that was attached to a wireless bridge that could shine back to the base...now you might have something, but your still going to have to do a survey/path analysis to determine if it is feasible.
    Coverage isnt throughput. I see one base station with 3 or 4 sectoral antennas depending on direction, pointing two several distribution bridges to bridge the gaps that go out again to the cameras...something like that. And all of it should be higher in the air than your construction.
