Overview

Switch between tabs using the keyboard.

 

Description

LabVIEW represents a tab control as a single item in the front panel window. Typically, you can switch between individual pages using the mouse. This VI allows the user to switch between pages using the keyboard controls <Page Up> and <Page Down>. The VI uses an Event structure to cycle through the pages of the tab control. A Key Down event controls tabbing through the pages of a tab control. The <Page Up> key increments the tab pages and the <Page Down> key decrements the tab pages.

 

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Select the Run button.
2. Use the "Page Up", or "Page Down" keys to switch tabs.
3. Use the Stop button to finish the execution.
