hi 64864050,

 Ofcourse you can put a vertical scrollbar control in a  tab control..Check the attachments....

ermmm not really the 1 i looking for.

the reason i need is that in my tab, theres alot of things in the first tab but in the second tab, its quite empty.

so the size of the tab is quite big and on my second tab, it look quite empty due to the sizing in the first tab.

so i was thinking is it possible to have a vertical scrollbar in the first tab only, not using the scroll bar to change the tab.

One option is to use subpanels.

You can load code from one vi so that it runs in the subpanel of another. See the attached...

It depends on what links you need between the controls and indicators on the two tabs as to how well this works for you.

I use this method to include different functions into a single exe - I have VIs which work on their own but can also be integrated into a larger program without and changes being required.

The vertical and horizontal scrollbars can be hidden if required, so can the frame around the suppanel.

Hope that helps,

Ian

wow.. thats neat..

cos now my program has 2 part, 1 is to read data and plot graphs another is to write

my writing part has lots of text box and picture which is now currently in a tab

so now i was hoping to find ways just to squeeze all the text box together like having a scrollbar will do.

so if i follow your examples, i have to somehow seperate my program into 2 vi i guess..

oh my..

and, thanks anyway!

*if would be better if there is a simplier way =x
