How to detect when a tabbed page has focus?

[perfb@yahoo.com]

Is there a way to set a bool flag when a user selects a tabbed page on
the main screen?

i.e. how can the program detect at runtime which tabbed page is active?

this is for LV7.1

Just read the control. You can right click on the tab control and select Create Constant and use that as a comparison or since an enum also has a numeric value, compare the control to a U32. The value of the first page is 0, second page is 1, etc. You can also wire the tab control directly to a case statement

On the block diagram The Tab Control will output what page has been selected. Just wire this to a case structure. See attached vi in LV7.1
