menu ring for tab control

[mikeporter]

As I said earlier, the examples use the RunVI method to run the plugins so they are running independently. However, you can also structure the code to use the Call br Reference node to call the plugin as a subvi. The purpose of this quick example was to simply demonstrate the ability to create a dynamic front panel.

Hi Henrik,

great! That's very close to what I was looking for. The only disadvantage with your solution is that I cannot switch the tab anymore if the program is not running. I use the following work-around: I placed the ring control exactly on top of the page labels display. When the program is being stopped, the ring control is hidden by setting the appropriate property node and the page labels display of the tab control becomes visible. The page labels display is also active while the program is not running.

By the way: I couldn't find any property node for the visibility of the page labels display. If you come across it, please give me a note.

Thanks for your support and greetings from german Rhine,

Peter

However why do need that?

If you are in programming mode it's just a checkand uncheck on visible items, and why your operators should edit values on a not running vi?
