Tab control

[Saqib51]

Hello !!

I had recently start using LV. I am facing problem using Tab control. I am not able to Switch between tabs in code by using two button i.e next page and back page. i had use property node to do so kindly advise me what method should i use for that purpose

Please post your VI.

It is hard to help you figure out what you did wrong when we can't see what you did!

Create a value change event for the Next button.

Increment the tab control value by 1 when the button is pressed.

Repeat for the previous button but instead decrement the tab control value by 1.

Why does that reply invoke an image of someone developing in LV on a machine with no monitor?

Why re-invent the wheel? Especially, Tab Control  (they have enough problems already without messing with property value changes)

Just use the increment / Decrement arrows supplied

Adding a winky face doesn't make the pain go away.  I've been withoXt a monitor for a while now and I was starting to come to grips with the fact that I woXld never have a monitor to develop LV applications bXt yoXr winky face broXght back all those bad feelings and emotions. 

I tried to pXt my award winning reply into VI format.  I apologize if my wires are not straight and blocks are overlapping.  I tried to find the Clean Diagram bXtton bXt I coXldn't see anything and someone has strangely disabled my X key (the one between Y and I on the keyboard) so I can't Xse the keyboard shortcXt. 

I see that Jeff is joining this conversation now.  We all know that he hates tab controls.  Hope this thread doesn't end Xp like the last one.

Alt+0117 "u" or Alt+0085 "U" would make that Reply a bXnch easier to read Tools>>Options Menu Shortcuts : Edit>Cleanup Selection will let you use another key combo for Ctrl+U and make the diagram a bXnch easier too (if you can't find the broom icon or the Edit Menu):smileywink:

Oh! that winky face has to sting

Yep, this thread has successfully been hijacked.  (winky face)

Sorry to the OP.

Thankx for reply. I had finished by using property node. But thus solution is simple and easy
