Hi gdah,

You first need to retrieve the value of your enum through GetCtrlVal.  Then call the SetTabPageAttribute function to set the Label Text attribute, ATTR_LABEL_TEXT like so:

SetTabPageAttribute(panelHandle, PANEL_TAB, 1, ATTR_LABEL_TEXT, value);     // where value contains my new test and 1 represents the 2nd page (i.e. since pages are zero-based).

Best Regards,

Hi,

the picture in the attachment looks kinda like a LabView application. This is the LabWindows/CVI discussion forum

Since you posted your query in the LabWindows/CVI message board, we naturally assumed you were using C and therefore gave you C related answers. You seem (thanks to the keen eyes of Wim!) to be actually using LabView, so you should repost your question in the LabView board, where there are more people with relevant knowledge.

Hello gdah!

jr_2005 definitely had some great advice - since your question is about LabVIEW, be sure to post future LabVIEW questions in the appropriate forum.  This particular forum is for our C compiler, LabWindows/CVI - which also has a Tab Control.  

That being said, this article on our KnowledgeBase details how to achieve a dynamic alteration of a Tab Control's label in LabVIEW.   Furthermore, I put together a quick example for you that I attached to this post. 

I hope this helps!
