Overview

This example demonstrates how to use a Tab Control to execute different portions of code based on which tab is selected.

Description

The Tab Control has similar functionality to an Enum on the block diagram. In this example, there are four tabs. The Tab Control is wired into the Case Selector terminal of a Case Structure, and the selected Tab is the case that executes.

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download the VI

2. Click on the Run arrow

3. Click on the different Tabs, which are labeled "Page 1", "Page 2", "Page 3", and "Page 4"

As any CLADer knows, polling a control is resource intensive and poor practice. Can an event structure be used to fulfill the same purpose?

[JScherer]

cdvon is right. I've added code that I feel is a better example of how to use the structure and balances best practices with understandably. Let me know if it passes muster.
