alternative to tab control

[gsajja]

Hello all ,

           I was wondering if there is any other working thats does the same job of having a tab control. What I would like to do is to, use a push button as go to screen and should be able to display a new screen and so forth. Please provide me with some feedback.

thanks,

K

You might be able to use subpanels.

But what are you really trying to do?  What is wrong with tab controls?  You can also use buttons to control which tab of the control gets displayed.  Also, you can hide the tabs on tab controls if you don't want to see them.

The tab control and the selection coding works pretty good for me. I was just looking for other design ideas.

A couple of options...

Use a single page tab control and use the button to set the Visable property to hide/show the tab control.

Group the related controls and hide/show them

Use a sub-VI set as Show FP when opened and Close after.

Examples ship with LabVIEW. Help -> Find Examples. Then search for "subpanel".
