How do I create a drop down menu on my front panel to hold some of my numeric / text controls?

Hi

I hope somebody could help with this question.

I have built a VI which has a lot of Numeric and text controls on the front.  The front panel looks cluttered as I want most of it to be occupied with my graphical indicators.

Is there any way I can create a drop down menu on the front panel to hold some of the controls and therefore make the front panel less cluttered?

Many Thanks

Ashley.

Ashley,

Can you use Tab controls to organize your panel?

Hi Lynn

Many Thanks for your message.

At first I thought a tab contol would not be a very neat way of doing it.  However - looking at my front panel I think it will work after all!

Thank you again

With best wishes

Ashley
