UI to code converter

[tmach]

Hello!
I used the UI to code converter utility to generate the panels using funtions. I have tabbed panels in my uir file. I used easy tab controls to load the tabbed panels.
I was able to load the main panel using the generated fuctions, but I am wondering how do I load the tab panels.

Thanks.

The same way you normally would using the easytab .fp and using the handles created by the createpanels function call.

[tmach]

yes but my original easy tab function is like this:
-------------------------------------------------------
EasyTab_LoadPanels (panelHandle,mainTabCtrl, 1,"c:\\PmtCodeloader\\GUI\\Codeloader1.uir",__CVIUserHInst, Block, &BlockHandle, Polar, &PolarHandle, 0);
-------------------------------------------------------
where BlockHandle and PolarHandle are the panel handles for the two tab controls.
Now after I run the UI->code converter utility, I have two functions,
BlockHandle = BuildBlock(0);
PolarHandle = BuildPolar(0);
which I use to generate the panel handles for these tab controls. Now instead of using EasyTab_LoadPanels, I use
-----------------------------------------------------
EasyTab_AddPanels (panelHandle, mainTabCtrl, 1,BlockHandle, PolarHand
le, 0);
-----------------------------------------------------
to add these two tabs to the main panel. But I get the error message saying that the child panels are not correct. Please suggest some getaway from this.

Thanks.

Hi,

What type of errors do you get? are they compiler errors or run-time errors? once your chiled panels are loaded with the functions generated by the UI to code converter tool you should be able to call EasyTab_AddPanels(). Make sure that you pass a zero (0) after all of your panel handles. The macro for this function requires this to calculate the number of panels.

I hope this helps.

This function adds the specified panels to the Tab control.
EasyTab_AddPanels panels must already be in memory and must be child panels of the panel that owns the Tab control.

Try changing these two lines to:

  BlockHandle = BuildBlock(panelHandle);
  PolarHandle = BuildPolar(panelHandle);

if panelHandle is the handle of the panel containg you tab control.

Thanks very much. I modified the two lines and everything works without a flaw.

Thanks.
