Tab Attribute required

[mhs100]

Hi all,

Is there any tab attribute present in CVI by using of which disables or Dimmed all the controls present on that tab?

Can ATTR_DIMMED disables all the controls present on that tab?

Hi,

you can dim the tab panel itself using SetPanelAttribute.

How?

I mean how can i be specific to only Tab 2?

ah... before you can access any tab panel, you need to use

GetPanelHandleFromTabPage ( panel_handle, PANEL_TAB, 1, &tabpanel_2_handle );

for every tab panel. This will give you the panel handle tabpanel_2_handle for the tab panel PANEL_TAB which you can use to set attributes of this panel using SetPanelAttribute ( tabpanel_2_handle, ATTR_DIMMED, 1 );

GetPanelHandleFromTabPage

int GetPanelHandleFromTabPage (int panelHandle, int controlID, int index, int **tabPanelHandle);

Purpose

Retrieves the panel handle of a tab page in a tab control.

Use the panel handle to specify the panel associated with the tab page in subsequent function calls.

You can use

SetTabPageAttribute (ATTR_DIMMED)
