Lock Tab Control Tabs Position

[KeenanJohnson]

Hello. I have a tab control with multiple rows of tabs. When the VI is run, when you click on a tab that it is not in the bottom row, it will shuffle that row to the bottom. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this shuffle from occuring and lock the tabs in a certain position?

I agree that that can be annoying. Because the tab is connected to the tabpage, the one selected has to move to the front. If if stayed in the top row, then you could not see or click the bottom row.

One alternative is to hide the tabs, change the tab control to an indicator, and create a customized radio button control which looks like the tabs.

Yes that is what I have been doing. I was just wondering if there was a better way. Thanks.
