SetActivePanel and EasyTabs

JAH — Wed, 23 Aug 2006 15:49:18 GMT

Hi,

I'm using the EasyTab functions to create a tabbed user interface in LabWindows/CVI V7.1. Sometimes, I require these tabs to be programmatically selected, and I use the SetActivePanel() function for this. The desired panel is always made active, but its associated tab is not redrawn in the raised 3-D graphical format, as would happen if activated by clicking on the tab. Instead, the tab of the panel that was active before SetActivePanel() is called remains visually unaltered so that it appears that the contents of the tabbed panel have changed rather than the actual panel itself. Is there a work-around for this?

Thanks,
John.

Hello,

I never used the EasyTabs, but I guess using the EasyTab_SetAttribute function with the ATTR_EASY_TAB_ACTIVE_PANEL attribute instead of using SetActivePanel might solve the problem.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. This seems logical, but ATTR_EASY_TAB_ACTIVE_PANEL is an invalid attribute for this function.

This should have worked. Any chance you have the function parameters out of order?

EasyTab_SetAttribute(panelHandle, TabControlHandle, ATTR_EASY_TAB_ACTIVE_PANEL, HandleOfPanelInTab Control );

Indeed I had them out of order mrv. It works perfectly, thanks.
