Change values of Tabs on Tab Control

[Labbie]

I have a LabVIEW application where it is possible to change the language on the front panel, in connection with this I want to change the names/labels of the Tabs on a Tab Control.

Is this possible?

Hi Labbie,

yes it is possible. See the attachment.

See attached LV8.5 example and post again if you have further questions.

Thank you! 🙂

I can't open the last example because I got LabVIEW 8.2, not 8.5...

Here is it in LV8.0

It is possible. It is not as straightforward as changing some other properties.

First, on the front panel go to each tab and deselect Advanced >> Make caption match page label. This needs to be done for each tab, once per tab control is not sufficient.

Next, create a property node from the tab control set to read the Pages property. This produces an array of refnums for the tab pages. In a for loop autoindex the refnums and connect to a property node Tab Caption. Feed an array of strings with the new captions and you have changed the appearance of the tabs!

Close the refnums.
