Tab in the tab control order

Hi all

I found in aid and other messages that you put inside the tab order a tab control by clicking with the right button on the page and selected redorder controls in the page.

I'm using Labview 8.0 and for the life of me I can't get this to work. I clicked everywhere: places within the tab governed, on the page tab on the label, on the legend, on the label, etc. and I can't get the menu to appear.

Anyone know the problem?

Hi abeaver,

I could find to rearrange controls on the Page in LabVIEW 8 on a page of specific tabs by right-clicking its edge. You have several controls on the page for the menu option is displayed (ie. it is not there if there is one or none of the controls on the specific page you want to rearrange):

As regards the order of tabs when running when you have a tab control, you will have to use the arrow keys to navigate between the specific tabs in the tab control when it is selected (you cannot use the tab key). This is explained with more information here:

I hope that helps!

  • problem with changing the order of tab on tab control

    Hello

    I am aware that the same question has been asked over three years - but I can't yet find the problem in what I'm doing...

    Description: I have two controls tab, A tab with three tab and tab B with two controls on a Panel. For the following discussion, tab B is of no interest. Each tab control has several numerical indicators, of type integer and double. Now, I want to add a fourth tab control to A tab. This method works.

    Following and problematic stage, in the Publisher of the IUR I select the new tab (most right) and move two positions to the left. It's still ok until I try to display a numeric value of order of tab 3 (the new tab control is left to it). I get an error in calls to SetCtrlAttribute, complain about an invalid control ID... However, I didn't touch any control over the tabs, or add a new control. In addition, I did not touch the generated include file... Visual inspection did not show any changes in the include file (the new tab control is listed only when certain controls are added)

    Posting numbers on the first/far left tab control work only on 3 and 4 which are suitable for the new (and still empty) new tab will generate this error. Adding a control to the new label does not change the bahavior.

    Help is appreciated!

    Wolfgang,

    When you get the handle for your tab using GetPanelHandleFromTabPage:

    GetPanelHandleFromTabPage (MainPanelHandle, PANEL_TAB, 0, & TabHandle);

    the third parameter is an index for the specific tab you want to address.  If you change the order of the tabs, you can change the index, too.  For example, assume that you have a digital control on the third tab from left to right.  You want to assign some value, so this, you:

    GetPanelHandleFromTabPage (MainPanelHandle, PANEL_TAB, 2, & TabHandle);

    SetCtrlVal (TabHandle, TAB_numMyNumeric, 1);

    Now, you add a new tab to the left of the tab with the digital contorl.  The new tab is now index 2 and the original tab is index 3.  When you call:

    GetPanelHandleFromTabPage (MainPanelHandle, PANEL_TAB, 2, & TabHandle);

    you get the handle to the new tab.  There is a control with the same ID as TAB_numMyNumeric, so that you get a runtime error.

    Personally, I like to use an enumeration to my tabs so I can keep the lines:

    enum {MY_FIRST_TAB, MY_SECOND_TAB, MY_THIRD_TAB,...};

    So if I redesign the tabs or add a new one I just re - order enums and everything works fine.  Also, I used the same names in my constants of tab, to help keep things straight:

    GetPanelHandleFromTabPage (MainPanelHandle, PANEL_FIRST_TAB, MY_FIRST_TAB, & TabHandle);

  • does not by default the tab control in LabVIEW 2009

    I have a tab control in my LabVIEW program. I put the default value of the three page tab control. In older versions of LabVIEW, when the program opens, it opens with the display of page three. Prefect! But now in LabVIEW 2009, it opens to 1 page view. I tried to adjust the default time and again, but it is enough to open with the display of page three. Looks like it's broken in LabVIEW 2009. (I know that I can get around that, but apparently botched when the program opens on page 1 and jerks on on page three.) And change the order of pages would break the code. I don't do that.)

    To make the solution more smooth, you can uncheck see the façade when called property of vi and show it programatically after that you put on page 3.

  • single control on the tab control pages

    Hello world

    My request is to have control tab with multiple pages. I want to add Boolean Quit button in all the pages, but the functionality of the button is the same regardless of the page.

    How has one-button with multiple copies in the façade, so that we can single terminal in the blockdiagram otherwise provide your suggestion to make multiple copies of single control of the front wall.

    Hi Kumar,

    who said often before:

    Create your button outside of the tab control, and then move it with the arrow keys (!) on the tab. You can use the "order/group" button in the menu if necessary...

  • How to make the password in the tab control?

    Hello

    My version of Labview is 8.6.

    I use a "tab control" create a GUI of two tabs. I'm trying to protect one of the tab for only authorized operators. So, what is the best way to do it? I don't actually have a different GUI password, but just a simple pop-up will be great. Alternatively, what else I could use to achieve the protection?

    The structure of my program is a selection of cases in a while loop. The while loop is for the detection of key as well as the race continues while the structure of the deal is for the selection of modes.

    I will appreciate your advice very much.

    See you soon,.

    Nicholas

    Put a chain on the tab indicator, they can always do.  Use and structure of the event in a loop in order to detect the vale change event on this channel.  If the string is the secret password, select the other tab.  If not, disable the other tab.

    Initialization code for your program must clear the chain by writing an empty string for the node of this String Value property (signalling).

  • Where is the installer for the Source column of the command in other tab of orders?

    Hello!

    I would like to ask where to find the installer for the Source column of the command in other tab of orders. I saw internal and online, I think it's always external.

    Thank you.

    Jon

    Order header Source is the origin of the order-using the OM Super user responsibility, see Setup-> controls-> import Sources.  I think that external is a Source Type on the command line that indicates if the line item will be provided by your org or bought.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to detect the mouse during the event for the controls within a tab control?

    I need to change the mouse pointer when it moves on controls that are found in the tabs.

    Now when the mouse passes over the tab, LABVIEW does not detect the saperately of controls for the mouse over event.

    Is there a way to do what I intend to do?

    Your problem is with the Panel.Controls [] property. It does not return the controls that are inside containers (tables, tabs, groups) and returns only the container itself. As illustrated by Sam, if you want the references to the controls in the tab, you must get the references to the pages and get the controls on each page and add them to your original table and do this recursively.

    You can either write a VI to do this (or search for it. There was posted here screw that analyzes recursively the FP for all control references) or everything just statically for this control a tab and move. There is also a VI delivered with LV that can help you with this, but I suggest that you not use, because it will be difficult to operate if you generate an EXE file.

    And I also recommend the Tool of Capture of Code.

  • typedef enum typedef to the tab control

    I have a typedef enum that defines that the DUT is for my automated test device. This enumeration is used everywhere in my code to determine which tests to run and how to interpret the results, etc. I also have a (much indicator tab to be precise) typedef tab control that has a page for each of the ESA with various indicators for each test that will be carried out on it must HAVE specific.

    I would use the typedef enum to select which page of the tab indicator to display. I am able to do it with brute force just a U32 converter like this:

    But would prefer to (because of my anality) eliminate dotting ugly coercian red (and depending on the size of the code, all memory that I can save help too).

    I tried many things, and none seems not to work. In this way, using a type cast, does not work.

    And not that this using variants (although it works with this little piece of the code example, maybe because my test set-up is an executable?):

    With the variant version, my test fixture survey an error 91 indicating data types is not compatible.

    Anyone has an idea how to convert between these two without which dot ugly coercian?

    Why not write a little VI with Enum entry and exit of the tab? It should be just a case internally structure. You can do the small icon so it does not much more space than the U32 conversion.

  • Problems with the help of control Edit Expression with tab control

    Hi all

    I am facing a strange problem when using Expression Edit Control with a tab control.

    When I put the Expression of the RichEdit controls on several tabs in a tab control, and when I run the application, the Expression Edit controls in a single tab are visible, others get invisible! I do NOTHING with them, but they do not simply show upward!

    I first faced this problem using Expr editing controls in Visual Studio c#. NET - with tab controls. For verification, I created a simple VI is LabVIEW to see if the problem is with my request / problem with Expression Edit controls in c#, etc. But voila!  A similar behavior in LabVIEW too! 

    I'm doing something wrong? OR do not do something right? Ask someone for help please ASAP!

    Thanks a ton in advance!

    DASI

    PS: Attached the VI here (LabVIEW 8.5) just download and run it, and you will see probably what I'm talking about!


  • The table of waveform in the tab control

    Hello

    I would change the parcel number and the name of a waveform graph plotting in a tab control.

    First of all, it works fine without a tab control, but I have several cards (such as temperature, pressure, tension...) while I put every chart in the pages of a tab control.

    1077 error happened when I "add" the parcel number and change the name of the parcel.

    Here is a sample I did to describe this problem.

    Start, if the number is 20, there are 20 plots in this table on page 2.

    t

    Do not operate the switch, replace C 3, N-18 and run that and it can be seen that the tab control will pass to page 1.

    Switch to page 2 and field names are updated, but left a relic.

    Add N 22, replace C 2, and then run it again.

    Error 1077 has arrived! Go to page 2 and the parcel number is always 20, and field names are updated at 20.

    Run it again and it works fine!

    It is very difficult for me.

    If I spend first on page 2 and run the program, it works very well also.

    (In other words, if the switch is active, then the program works very well.)

    The version of LabVIEW mine is 2011.

    I don't know I missed or misunderstanded something about this problem.

    Is someone can give me any suggestions? Thank you very much

    Step 1: Do not use tabs, use sub-panels. You can get the same user experience, but with a much simpler code.

  • 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/

  • Program switching a page on the tab control

    Hello

    I use LV8.6 and I have a menu drop-down selector to choose what unit I want to test.  This allows the page that controls the unit and disables others.  What I want to do is when the unit is selected, the page is enabled (which I did) and the page to be selected and view.  Does anyone know how this is done?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Simply change the value of the tab control. Send 3 and it'll show the 3rd page. If you create a constant, that it works as an Enum and will display the names of page as options.
