Control tab Keypress event

Hello

I use a tab control and that you may not know how to handle the following situation.

We know that when you use a tab control we can jump from tab to tab by pressing .

When I hold the last tab to jump to other conbtrol and not the first.

Unfortunately, in this situation does not generate an EVENT_KEYPRESS.

Is there a way to handle this situation?

I believe that I have found a workaround. You can use InstallWinMsgCallback to install a reminder for the Panel and locate the WM_KEYDOWN message. It's a little more complicated because you will not receive any eventData1 and eventData2 tell you what key and the modifier is used, then you must check separately for the control key (I use a global flag to specify if CTRL is pressed).

In hand, you will need to install the callback as follows:

InstallWinMsgCallback (panelHandle, WM_KEYDOWN, MyCallback, VAL_MODE_INTERCEPT, NULL, &postHandle);

...
//in clean-up
RemoveWinMsgCallback (panelHandle, WM_KEYDOWN);

Then, in the reminder, use the following code:

int CVICALLBACK MyCallback (int panelHandle, int message, unsigned int *wParam, unsigned int *lParam, void* callbackData)
{
    int lastTab, control, pageIdx, nextCtrl;
    switch(message)
    {
        case WM_KEYDOWN:
            if(*wParam == VK_CONTROL)
            {
                ctrlDown = 1;
            }
            else if(*wParam == VK_TAB)
            {
                if ((control = GetActiveCtrl(panelHandle)) == PANEL_TAB)
                {
                    GetActiveTabPage (panelHandle, control, &pageIdx);
                    GetNumTabPages   (panelHandle, control, &lastTab);
                    if(pageIdx == lastTab - 1)
                    {
                        GetCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_TAB, ATTR_NEXT_CTRL, &nextCtrl);
                        SetCtrlAttribute(panelHandle, PANEL_TAB, ATTR_CTRL_INDEX, pageIdx);
                        SetActivePanel(panelHandle);
                        SetActiveCtrl (panelHandle, nextCtrl);
                        return 1;
                    }
                }
            }
            break;
        case WM_KEYUP:
            if(*wParam == VK_CONTROL)
                ctrlDown = 0;
    }
    return 0;
}

Note: You must call SetActivePanel before SetActiveCtrl to transfer the focus in the tab to the Panel.

  • EVENT_MOUSE_POINTER_MOVE and controls tab

    Is there a way to get EVENT_MOUSE_POINTER_MOVE events in a callback whenever the user moves the mouse on a panel that is part of a tab control?  Basically, I don't see a way to set a reminder Panel for panels that are made inside a tab control, which would be possible using the old EasyTab way of doing things.  Can I set a reminder Panel for tab control panel is on, but the recall seems does not have EVENT_MOUSE_POINTER_MOVE event when the mouse is on the tab control.  I put a reminder on the control tab itself, but it seems only to receive EVENT_MOUSE_POINTER_MOVE events when the mouse is over the edge of the control.  It seems that there is something obvious I'm missing here, but I cannot understand what it is.  Thank you!

    You can get the handle to the desired tab group and then install a reminder Panel for this Panel. I have attached a sample program. I hope this helps.

  • Controls tabs flashing when Invisible

    A little history: I have a tab control that contains several controls of void and this control tab is located at the top of a vision acquisition screen. While the program is running, the user can hit 'h' key to hide all the controls, so that the user can see the screen for the acquisition of any vision. I came across a bug which, in don't break my app, is really annoying. What happens is that when the user presses the 'h' key, all the controls disappear as expected (I do this by using the property node 'visible' to the tab control), but once per second the controls on the tab flash on the screen and then disappear again. Still, these are the controls inside the tab, tab no it's me. The tab it's self is invisible as expected. Has anyone else seen this before?

    Just guessing here, but I've seen funny things with the tab controls, especially when working with the visibility property.  I suspect that 'under the hood' LabVIEW uses the visibility property to get the tabs to work.

    In your example I (notied that you write the property each iteration.)  It's not too big, a method and can lead to some ineffecintcies.  Also, when the objects overlap on the FP an update to any object overlaping requires all objects to cool off, so you can lose a lot of time processor that could bog down your CPU. A possible workaround, you can try is to add a loop secod with an event inside structure to capture only changes to the visible Boolean value.  Another thing to try would be hitting the visible property of the objects in the tab directly.  This excerpt is a reasonable example.

  • How can I add a page control tab at run time?

    Hello

    I'm trying to add pages in the control tab in run mode, but I can't because it must be in edit mode.

    Here are the steps that I have:

    1. run the application.

    a. the application reads a txt file and it translated into a table with the number of rooms; [201, 202, 203, 204]

    b. the application takes this array and puts in place of the pages after how it is in the table and names must be the same as the numbers. (Now the program will start to collect information to fill the pages.

    c. the user can now change between pages. (Each page will have a table that will be updated with new information at run time)

    Is this possible or have you another solution?

    Grateful for answers.

    No, you cannot add pages, just as it is not really supported to add commands or the lights either (well, unless you plan to have always installed LabVIEW and not only the execution engine. If this is the case you can self-generate tabs etc. with VI Scripting pages).

    You can use an image control to "simulate" additional tabs, the orders or the lights, but normally it is possible to find a different and easier solution.

    In your case, it seems that all the pages have the same controls on them, it would be just the content that would change. So what you really want is a way to navigate between the 'rooms' availability You could add a list next to the tab control box, fill the list box with the availability of the rooms and the value of the list box to select the content to display on the tab of single page beside him, or you can use a menu drop-down. If you do not like these alternative presentations of the room options then you can generate the tabs in an image control and have a tab control page below which showed the content of the tab selected in the image control. That's a lot of work.

    Another option would be to create Let's say 10 pages in edit mode and then have the arrows under the control that allowed the user to navigate through the available rooms in groups of 10 (still is not really necessary to individual indicators on each page you don't need to make them on page... something to get this must simply move the indicators and controls on the tab control with the) arrow keys Cela will give you a black frame behind them, but in run mode, it will look as if they are on each page). In this way, you could have the appearance tab and navigation without having to simulate the tabs with an image control. The fact that many other graphical interfaces have such navigation of two levels means that the user will still find intuitive to use.

  • Put option on the page does not work in the Easy Print VI Panel, controls tabs are not displayed

    Found two problems with the screw of report generation:

    (1) in the Panel of VI feel easy (report generation) or the Documentation.vi, the layout options don't work (dug in the sub - VI and found that they are not connected to anything).

    (2) If you have the controls or the lights in a tab control and try to use the Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi with the option to include controls in the report, they do not appear. The only indications/commands that appear are those that are displayed on all tabs (that is to say, to create a control and move it over the tab control so that it appears on every page).  There's a Subvi (Expand_control_ref_with_nested_controls.vi) which is called to handle the nested controls (IE, grapes, berries, etc...), but it should have a case to handle the controls tab.

    Hey Sajosie,

    Dig into the Sub - VI you are right in saying that the Options available to the user input is not connected to anything for most cases. However, in the case of failure to "Quick Print" Layout Options are used to change the layout of the report. In help for this VI, he mentions that this entry is ignored for the report "Standard reports" and "HTML" options However, it does mention that this ignorance of Layout Options is expected for the 'word' or 'Excel' reports.

    Especially regarding the controls and indicators in the report which appear on the tab controls, I can make a product suggestion to do this kind of design more compatible with the mere impression VI Panel façade or Documentation.

  • I have the same front panel control in several events?

    I tried to find it in the forums and knows that there must be a simple answer, but being a left tackle L again, this one is cheating on me. So:

    I'm programming a small mission-generating program that will allow a user to create files of the mission for a small underwater AUV. These mission files can be created in Wordpad or similar, but I wanted to make an application where the user doesn't have to worry about the sometimes finicky syntax etc. The operating system of the AUV is based on linux. It is also a good opportunity to practice my LabVIEW file, management skills and experience programming state machine.

    I created a state machine, and is one of the States 'Add Primitive'. A primitive is one line of text that can be 'go to xyz', 'surface' etc. 'home' with the coordinates or other settings entered on the controls on the front panel when the appropriate primitive is called. I there before had 8 orders of the Panel before the user can choose to primitives with and structure of the event with a pane for each control. Each event, then displays string writing for this primitive controls and property nodes hide everything on the front panel.

    My problem is, I want a "Validation" button that will write the primitive duly filled in the file and display the file so far in a preview window. I can only put this button of validation in an event well and I can't use local variables. I want the same façade of control are committed to do the same for all the different events in my structure. Is this possible?

    I think that maybe the control and my preview pane should be outside (to the right) my structure. Or maybe a case of event isn't the right way to go at all. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    I recommend some redesign of your state machine.  You should have a State just to handle events of the user (have the structure of the event in it).  The start State should go directly to that State of "idle".  You can then manage each button with the structure of the event rather than do an interrogation of sorts.

    In each case in the structure of the event can determine what State to spend.

  • Is redundant control tab in my case?

    Hi all

    I use the tab for the first time control in labview.

    Basically, I just want to put this control on the front to make things to look better and in order, but it seems more than a decoration, but a control in the block diagram, I'm not sure if there is a way to remove that from block diagram but stay in front panel.

    Any idea is appreciated,

    Thank you very much

    Kunsheng - Chen

    I use controls tab to organize my front panel and doing nothing with it on the block diagram.  It's not a big deal (at least for me) to throw right on the side the block diagram of the road.

  • Captivate 7 controls video playback event does not

    Hello

    I use 7 Captivate and released a video of an event with playback controls limited mp4 (only play, pause, return and close) on the slide, since the video control event will not be displayed when published. When I publish HTML5 video (with or without seamless tabbing) controls do not work. When I click on play video games and I can pause, but when I want to keep playing, the controls do not work.

    I tried only to use the skins (clear, corona and halo) given to the video event, but then I can't pause the video at all, because the controls are not displayed.

    We need the video to play HTML5 for iPad and computers, but we are at a loss with the controls. Video has got to be limited only to play, pause, back, and don't close - no cleaning or transfer. Any ideas?

  • Table control tab and size

    Hello everyone,

    I use control table for the first time and have problems in the following areas:

    1 when I start to insert values in cells, I could go and insert values with unlimited seemining the number of rows. Is there a way to limit the number of available lines in the table for a specific number? I tried to use the NumRow property, and apparently it is more useful to indicate the number of lines to display in the table control.

    2. when I hit the tab key, the focus shift from one cell to another, which is good, except that it does not jump to the last column. He goes from cell 4 to 5, 5 to 6 each time I type the tab key. But when he is in the 6 cell and I type the tab key, it climbs to 8 cells, instead of cell 7, which is what I expected it to do. Is there a way to fix this? See the image below.

    Thanks for your help.
