A tab control is a separate child-window. It will work well with
controls that each exist in their own window. LV controls are
windowless and therefore aren't compatible with the tab control.
Its also a matter of design. The LV controls were designed to
work inside of clusters, arrays, as constants and front panel
controls, but not tabs, not yet anyhow.
There is a NIWeek presentation from 98 that discusses how to build
a tab dialog using Booleans a
nd a little logic. There are also
some third party tools, like the one from Cardiac, that make it
pretty easy to do tabbed dialogs that look really nice.
