Tab Control Lock ? File Permanent Delete ?

[winterishere8]

I have couple of questions.

I have a tab control that I use for displaying test metrics during run-time. The first tab has a bunch of graphs. Whenever I browse to other pages in the tab during run time, the graphs do not autoscale. So I want to lock the tab for a particular amount of time when the test is in progress. Is there a way to do it ? I am not able to find a property node that would do it.

Also, I am deleting some temp files generated by my code after test completion. Is there a way to permanently delete it ? [I do not want these files in the recycle bin]

Thanks

(1) Create a property node for the tab control, select property: disabled, and wire a "1" to it to disable, then change to 0 to enable it again later.

(2) How are you deleting the files? If you use the delete function from the file I/O palette, they will not end up in the recycle bin. Your program should do the cleanup as part of the exit code automatically.

Thanks a lot for your answers. I am using the delete function from I/O palette...For some reason I thought they would be in recycle bin.
