Hi

If you want to develop a wizard, use the LabVIEW Wizard template, which was posted in another thread.

It uses a tab-control which pages are switched using a button. Just have a look at it.

Hope this helps.

Hi Becktho,

Thanks for the reply and suggestion, i need a basic idea as to how start of this,

i went throught the wizard dialog what you had sent, can you be specific as to how

can it  be used, for my application, where in, the user has the options to select the

signals and contents,  i am actually pretty confused, cos i haven't  done anything ,

like this before. so can you guide me.

thank you

The next steps would be to place all the controls and indicators on the tab, so that the user can make all the decisions.

Due to the fact that you want to have a wizard, try to group these controls and indicators topic-wise, so that you have a tab-page for each topic.
