Tab Control-Highlighting selected Tab-Variation

Hi Folks

Over 1000 discussion here but I can't solve this on my own,time to ask for some help!!

I copied this code from here and added a few blocks such as init to default the tabs..but really not able to manuiplate in the way I want

I dont want the tabs moving so I have two single strips of tabs one on top of the other .rather than a single tab .When I select the tab in Row A all tabs in Row B should go white and vice versa so only one tab is ever blue.One selected value is then o/p via Tabcaption for use with the rest of the program.

Thnaks for any help with this.

One method I have used is to make the tab control an indicator. Make the tabs invisible. Place a Radio Button control where the tabs would have been. Customize the radio button control by replacing the small round buttons with rectangular boolean buttons and replace the boolean text with the values of the tab labels. Wire the output of the radio button to the terminal of the tab indicator.

 

It is a bit of work but allows you to customize the appearance of the tabs and eliminate the jumping.
