"Fit to pane" for tabpages .... Tabpages handled as panes !

Status: New

In Labview, tabpages are not treated as panes ! 

 

So you cannot put an object in the tabpage and applicate the "Fit to pane" in order to have an autogrowing objects.

 

For example :

 

  • I add a tabControl on a front panel ... i made it autogrow with a "Fit control to pane"
  • I add a Multicolumn listbox in a tabPage (or a chart, a treeview ....)
  • And then i want that my listbox grows automaticaly with the tabpage ....
  • And here no more solution than "Do it yourself" !

 

Because the tabpages are not treated as "Panes", the power of Labview HMI is very limited ...

 

It would be nice to treat the tabpages as panes in order to be able to build autogrowing, dynamic HMI.

 

The mechanisms of dynamic resizing should  be fully improved in Labview ...  

 

No to "static fixed sized window" ... Yes to "autogrowing applications" ...

This is a duplicate of this idea.

 

It's good to see that there are more people asking for this though...it would be a big improvement.
