color of tab control

I'm working on a VI that uses different tab of monitoring the temperature controls. VI cycles in the tabs at predetermined times. I searched through the forums for a question like mine, and I've seen a few similar ones, but nothing which is exactly what I'm asking. I would like for the tab change color, change font style/size, or anything else every time that the display of the active tab. I wish that she be very obvious at a glance which tab is currently on. I've seen other posts where you can change the color of the tab, as well as its content, but I want only the tab itself to change, and that when it's highlighted. Is this possible to do? Thank you!

Here's a possible solution. Modify if needed.

  • Change of color of the page in a tab control programmatically

    AFAIK, you can manually change the colors of the individual pages in a tab control (if you have the property allow several colors set to True), but you can't do it programmatically.

    For my particular application, there is only a single page color, I need to change, so I can get the effect by setting the colors I want manually and activating / deactivating allow multiple colors on the control tab as needed, but I wonder if there is a better solution out there.

    Thank you

    Of course, you can:

  • Property for the tab control node

    Hi, please explain the difference between the two operations explained below. For reference, I here enclose pictures of towing.

    Theoretically, according to the the help page in labview, when I have quand j' ai mis set 'allow the colors multi property' true, can I change the colors of the page in the tab control. But here, the program runs in reverse. When I set this property to false and run a program, a tab control object in front of Panel will change the color, I gave (first image with control of bule color tab). When set to true, the execution of a program, it is default (second image, control tab by default) color. I don't know how it goes. Thanks in advance

    You should get the reference of the tab Page and change the color individually if you want.

    -Set the multiple colors allow TRUE: https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/lvprop/tabctrl_allow_multi_clrs/

    How to customize the tab control so that the place where we are writing on behalf of the tab must be in one color and the body of the tab control in a different color. See the image. It is the color below the black line should be one color and above should be a different color. Is this possible?

  • Menu contextual tab control Runtime does not work?

    Hi all

    I create a façade user interface that incorporates a control tab (standard control LV 8.6).

    I noticed that the Run-Time context menu (the one you get when you right-click with the mouse) is displayed only if you select one of the tabs or the thin border around the outside, but not anywhere in the tab pane itself? I guess that these context menus are associated with controls only, so when you choose the pane inside the tab control, it does not record the click of the mouse as belonging to the tab control, but the shutter it instead?

    I want to customize this menu and really need to be displayed when the user clicks an area empty screen, which will be the my tab control pane

    Any ideas anyone?

    Hi Audrey,.

    Thanks for the vi - It's great to see how to work the other coders workarounds!

    I had been playing with a similar idea since posting my question. I had discovered that paste a single image in the tab pane that filled the tab pane area shows the new behavior similar to what I need. The pasted image provides a context menu that matches that of the tab control. As long as the color of the picture is the same as the tab control, it is effectively invisible to the user.

    P.S. Just to be clear, I don't mean an image control. Just a picture pasted from the Clipboard.

    I have attached the vi for reference, maybe (anyone of NOR?) would like to make comments on this weird behavior of LabVIEW?

  • How to duplicate indicator each in a page of tabs controls?

    I have a control tab with 3 pages, each page containing a similar table.

    The cards have an unpredictable number of plots is determined dynamically at run time.

    I don't like the legend of native of the graphic field, because I want to only display a few entries of legend, not the whole legend.

    So instead, I made a table with colored cells and text that changes length at runtime (adjusted through property node).

    I can place this legend of the plot next to the tab like this control:

    Now, I want to use the method "Download Image" to record images of each page of tabs controls. It works well, but lacks the legend of the plot.

    Is there a way I can have my own legend of land included in each page of the tab control? For example, to display a "clone" of the table of the legend of route in each page of controls tabs?

    Basically, I need a convenient way to duplicate my indicator "Trace the legend", including font color, cell color, length of the table, etc. dynamically at execution.

    How should I do?

    Note: If I place my table floating in front of the tab control indicator, it is visible on each page, but the method 'Download Image' will, of course, omit it.

    It's a little messy, but it does the job. He takes a picture of your entire façade well so if there are controls, you do not want to include in the image, they will need to be edited after the fact.

  • Tab control acts like it is off but no

    I have a tab control that has ceased to operate at run time. It acts like it is off when turned on. At the time of editing, I am able to click on the tabs and they change visually. When I run it, by clicking on the tabs does not change tabs.   I reduced the vi to a simple loop with a delay of 200ms and the tab, with nothing else. The controls on the tab is the only thing in vi.  I made sure that the tab is enabled in the Properties dialog box. I noticed a strange thing: the Navigation tab button (in properties), it is all grayed out.  Once again, the control tab in in fact active, but it behaves as if it was not. I tried to recompile. Is there another setting? Why key naviation is grayed out? I'm using LabVIEW 2015.  Thank you!

    Ooops! Problem solved. I did somehow accidentally changed to a flag! Sorry for the premature post.

  • Resize the object inside the tab control

    Hello

    I have problems with the design of a user interface. I need to have multiple controls resize with panel inside a tab control.

    I see it right, there is no way to have a resize done inside a tab with decorations control that separates controls?

    I have not yet checked LabVIEW 2013.

    I have attached a vi in LV2012 as an example.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes it is a feature I've wanted also over the years.  Here's the first result that I got from the exchange of idea, but I think that there are duplicates autour.

    http://forums.NI.com/T5/LabVIEW-idea-exchange/ability-to-fit-scale-object-within-tab-control-page/ID...

    Basically, you can't do nativly but you can trick it work for you.  You make a tab that is false the user interacts with, changes to the value of another tab that things in it and then you fix every thing you want it is in the tab where it is demonstrated.  This works well if the thing in your tab is an element able to evolve to adapt to it, but if in a tab, you have a chart and another you have a bunch of buttons that should not change, then you will get a strange behavior.  You can tell the chart is more scope to this component, but then you lose the 'ladder while resizing objects' that make a lot more native user interface research.

  • Tab control: chart automatically resets when I switch between tabs

    Hello world

    I'm having a problem with a user interface. : mansad:

    I use a tab with two tabs control to switch between the two graphs. A graph shows data from a production machine (tab 1), the other a data from a measuring probe (table 2). Now, when I switch from tab to tab 2 1 and return, graphic of tab 1 is empty and begins to show the data from the moment of return too tab 1. Tab 2 data are not reset, but are constantly updated, even when the 1 tab is open. I'd like to tab 1 to behave like tab 2. It must be constantly updated even when tab 2 is opened and the data should not be reset after between tabs.

    Making machine is connected via a server (Data tab 1, Figure 1), the data from the probe are written a queue and comes from (Data tab 2, Figure 2). It's all part of the main VI. This part is shown in Picture 3. Here, historical data are reset to zero when the program ends. But I can't understand why it does not work as I want.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you!

    OK, there are very strange things happening here, in addition to the problem you are having (which, I admit, I don't see yet why you have a problem).

    First of all, I've never met such a structure of strange and deeply nested directory for LabVIEW code as what you posted: Users\AB\BC\CD\DE\EF\FG\GH\HI\IJ\.  Why in the world you have an empty stack of sense files / directories to go?  Very, very strange.

    You view multiple charts using waveform graphs.  Do you, indeed, assemble an array of waveforms to display on the chart, but the waveform consists of a single point, 'built' in a table, with a current timestamp as t0.  Instead of going to all these efforts, you can simply group your data points in a Cluster and show that.  Your X axis will not display "Time now", but if you know the sampling frequency, you can adjust the X scale so it displays 'Time' in practical (such as seconds) since the beginning of the sampling units.  Note that you already have one such cluster (at least in the reading process data - the data output Process value - which can be connected directly on the diagram of fluid bed without the need of the Signalverlaufsdiagramm).  It could, in fact, "fix" your problem (but I'll let you test this).  You will need to do a similar Cluster Bundle in sight Parsum data and output the cluster instead of the table in order to test this idea.

  • Inexplicable delay between the evolution of the tab control pages

    Hello dear OR Forum.

    I have a strange problem.

    In my program, I use a tab control.

    On a change in the pages of pc immediately once the user clicks on the other page, but on another pc it is delayed (approx. 1 second) until the new page is displayed. The rest of the program works with the same "speed".

    You have an idea why this happens?

    The main program includes a while loop with a delay of 25ms. In the loop, there is a case structure, cases are different pages of the tab control.

    (it's the same exe file)

    Thank you.

    Tabs changing pages require a screen refresh if at least the graphics adapters could make all the difference.

  • Customizing a tab control

    Hi all

    I am trying customize appearances of controls for my application and have been involved in some of the custom themes user interface on the Web site of NOR.

    I am now stuck in the tab control - when I open up the control editor and add a tab control and then go to 'Customize Mode', I'm not able to get the typical menu if I right click on the tab control. The typical menu for other controls include options for "Import picture from the Clipboard", "Import a file", etc.

    After that I watched the themes custom user interface on the site NOR even once, as themetal Themeand OR themeand realize, they do not have the tab control so.

    A search of the forums also revealed a thread here, dating from a few years back, about not be able to use the tab control in a custom control.

    So my quesstion is, the tab control still not able to be used as a custom control? And is there a solution?

    Best regards

    Victor

    It works fine for me in 2011.

    The method I use is to drop the tab on the front panel control.

    Make it a typedef

    Click EDIT > IMPORT the IMAGE TO the Clipboard

    Import the image we want for the tab

    Then right-click on the tab of interest

    ADVANCED > LAYOUT TAB > IMAGE ONLY

    Then right click on the new tab

    ADVANCED > LAYOUT TAB > IMPORT THE IMAGE TO THE CLIPBOARD

    If this method does not work for you, please let me know and I'll see if I can get access to a 2010 machine to try it myself.

    Kind regards
