Is there any way to have a Combo Box control a Tab Control. An Enumerated Ring control can if all the names match "Exactly", question is can a Combo Box do the same, especially within an Event Structure?
I haven't been able to figure it out. Enclosed is a test VI that has an enumerated ring example, and a combo box with the same data. Thanks for your help...

Thanks for the reply, but in the real user interface the tabs are hidden, and there are several other controls on each tab. The real question is: how can i select the correct tab using the combo box as the control. ie. if I select, in this example, the combo box labeled COMMAND, to "Get CCU RX Status (R4)" then I want the tab with the same name to be selected, but is does not. Where the Enumberated ring labeled "2aryProcCmd" does select the correct tab control. I left the tabs showing just so you can see which tab is really selected. Its part of a user interface where the user can select the combo box selection and the correct tab is selected with instructions and controls to execute a specific command. It seemed to be a clean way of doing the user interface. Right now to get it to work I have to have a multiple case statement in the event structure that has the correct constant driving the tab control. So when I want to add or edit a command I have to go through all 35 cases and change the constant. Very time consuming and not very elegant.
What you indicated as the solution, I think would change the combo box from the tab control and not the other way around.
Thanks.
