There are several ideas here about making the LabVIEW IDE support a dynamically tabbed interface where front panels &/or diagrams are shown on different pages of a tab in the same window.
But so far (?) I have not seen anyone suggest to support such a user interface element as a control on the front panel itself (i.e. available for use in the applications we make with LabVIEW). Such functionality is currently only available from a third party (this is in other words really their great idea, my contribution is only that I would want to push this into becoming a native control type):
SAPHIR have made a very nice XControl named XTab, it is free and available through the LabVIEW Tools Network - but personally I hesitate to use it in any of our products as this would make us depend on future support from Saphir.
If it was offered as part of LabVIEW, I would have adopted it right away. Please, can we have a native XTab?
Here is how XTab from SAPHIR works:
