how to use same controls in different tabs

[Rizwan00]

hi,

is there any way to use same control(switch) in different tabs in a vi, if i can't able to do it then how to update the value of switch between tabs

No.

You have a couple options.

1.  Have a single control that is not on any tab.  Have it be visible or not, and location placed (via. property nodes) depending on which tab is visible at the the time.

2.  Have multiple controls on the respective tabs.  Have an event structure that is fired by the Value change property on each of those controls.  When a control is updated, then have the event structure update the value of all the other "duplicate" controls.

i am using latch mechanical action so icant able usenvalue change property then how to solve this...

[RavensFan]

You could not make it latch action.  Let it be regular and have the event structure reset the control back to the False state once the event case executes.

That or use the other option I gave of a single control that is not on any tabs, but floats over the tab control with visibility and position controlled by the currently visible tab.  (Probably also driven by an event structure trigger off the tab control value change.

how to do that first case please share a example vi.

Like this.

it is for using same controls in different pages of same tab, but i want same control to be used in different pages of different tab

If you are using latch mechanical, simply duplicate the same control in every tab you need, include every control the same event case...

[franco.atzeni@terna.it]

Another solutuon could be to leave the control floating over the tab without put it in a particouar page. The only problem is that you see this control in all tab pages...
