Grouping instruments together in the front panel

[labview1958]

I have designed a LV program in 6.0 where I choose which part of the program to run. As a result I have a lot of instruments etc. cluttering my front panel. Is it possible to group all the instruments into groups. When I run a particular choice of my program only those instruments in that group show up while the rest are safely hidden from view. It could be something like hide/unhide instruments.

Use a Tab Control. You can also switch between tab pages programmatically and hide the tab pane if you like...

What is tab control? What is tab pages? Can you give me a simple vi in lv6.0 that has those things?

How can I explain in words what is a Tab control? It's a normal control like many others in Labview.
I'm not sure 100% that you can find it also in your labview version, but I think that it's better you do some search in LV Help and Examples, you'll learn something useful..

Hi

As far as I know tabs are not available in LV6.0 and LV6i.

Look in your array and cluster controls section for the tab control. It is in version 6.1
