Re : Re: remove control from tab order in labview

[Faraclas]

I have a whole bunch of controls, but I only want a few of them to be in the tab sequence. How can I remove the others from the sequence? I would still like the users to be able to manually select the control and edit it; just not be able to tab to it.

On your front panel, right-click on the control, goto to Advanced >> Key navigation >> Skip this control when tabbing.

This is good.

I too want to do this but I have indicators that I want to remove from the sequence (Waveform Chart, Error Cluster, strings...)

There is no Key navigation tab on the properties page for these Items. How do I get around this problem please? (Some of them are not even on the displayed part of the screen at runtime.)

Obviously, the Skip this control when tabbing property is not available for indicators. They are skipped by default. Press Ctrl+M to switch the VI to the run mode (or run the VI) and then press Tab to convince yourself. Press Ctrl+M again to switch back to the edit mode.

I noticed that when I sorted out my FP correctly eventually. Thanks for clarifying.
