combo box

[tomsch1]

i am using a tab control. and i have a combo box on the first tab i wish to also have this combo box appear on other tabs. in such a way that if you change itin 1 tab all other tabs change as well.

any insite would be helpful.

Well, it would probably be easier to place the combo box outside the tab control in this case! 😉

(If this is not a solution (Why not???), you need to duplicate the combo box on each tab and create e.g. local variables from each combo box. Whenever one of them changes its value, you need to write the new value to the local variables of all others.)

Move the combo box outside of the tab and drop it. Then using hte arrow keys, reposition it back where it was. This will basically place it on top of the tab. It will have a shadow on it to show you that. This shadow will be removed when the VI is run.

I think that this is what you are after.
