Fixing Tab Container Dimensions

[rmtripp]

Is there an easy way to setor "fix" the height and width dimensions of a tab container -- not the tabs themselves -- so that they do not change automatically when a "too large" front panel control or indicator is placed on them?  I am using multiple graphs, pictures, text and other itemson tabs and they occasionally change the size of the tab container resulting in a lot of extra effort.

Hello,

I think you are probably looking for the tab control pane dimension property node.  You can also set the Autogrow to false to ensure that when you add an object into the tab control, it does not automatically resize the pane.

Hope this helps!

That was exactly what I needed.  I was familiar with the "Auto Grow" as an option on the block diagram, but did not realize it was available as a property for fron panel controls.  Many thanks.

Or, right click tab control  >>  Advanced >>  Uncheck AutoGrow.
