Can I individually change any of the attributes of an individual tab (not the page) on a Tab Control?

[ClassyQ]

I have a Tab Control with approx. 15 tabs. After the user changes anything (adding text, changing a ring control, etc. ) from the default configuration on any of the 15 tabs, I would like a change to that individual tab only (say color change, text change, anything) so when the user sees all 15 tabs, they know what tab page has had changes to the defaults.

I appreciate your help with this one!
(Note: I tried using a imported bitmap control of a red checkmark - and use true/false to an
visible property node -this only works when placed in any of the Tab control pages, but not on the individual Tab itself.)

Karl,

I have attached a LabVIEW 6i example to this post that indicates with an LED if the control on the Tab has been changed from its default value. I used the classic LED's to make them invisible when the value is still the default. Hope this helps.

Thanks Matt for the example. It seemed to me when I had tried this route at the beginning that the placement of the round classical LED that I used would not lock into place when I changed screen resolution. Anyway, I use it again.
Thanks Again!

There are a couple of things you could try to prevent the LED's from moving around when you change screen resolution:

1) Group the tab control and the LED's together.

2) Go to VI Properties and select Window Size. Select the "Maintain scale for different monitor resolutions"

Matt,
The 15 individual tabs on the Tab Control are situated so there is 5 levels (rows)
of tabs. When I try to Lock each boolean with each tab header they lock too good.
Meaning, when you select a different Tab, it is brought out front and now the booleans
do not move with the re-arrangement of the 15 tabs.
Any work-around ?

Thanks
