I have added a tab control to my vi, dragged some controls and indicators onto it and cannot create new (unpopulated) tab pages. The new pages have all of my controls and indicators on them. This is LV 6.0.2

When I select between tabs, the controls and indicators appear to float over the tab control surface. I have moved the tab control to the back and all of the controls and indicators to the front but this doesn't change anything. Even though the program appears to make duplicates of everything when I make a new tab, there are no new terminals in the diagram. The vi runs correctly this way and I can switch between tabs without any changes.

The most likely problem is that the controls aren't really on the tab page, but rather hovering over the top of it. The controls probibly have what looks like Heavy black borders, yes? I have attached a vi that is showing the effect.

To fix the problem, drag all the controls out of the tab control and then drag them back in again one at a time.

Yes thank you. That does fix the problem. I know that the objects on the front panel look like that when they float but since they seemed to function correctly and the objects where completely within the boundary of the tab control, I didn't know what else to check. Apparently, having a large number of indicators and controls overlaid and locked together was the problem. Thank you very much.
