how to change size of tab control programmatically based on the size of monitor screen

[anantj18]

Hi,

I'm doing a software for cnc machines and I have a tab control in my program and each page has different amounts of controls on it. I would like to know how I can make the tab control pages resize automatically, only to fit the tab control on my monitor screen size and i want the controls in each tab also to be resized.

Hi,
Have you tried to set "fit control to pane" with right clic on tab ?

That will work only for vi's with single pane,but vi has multiple panes

I made a vi with tree panes, the tab is in the lower one and it works good.

Right clicking the tab control and selecting 'size to pane' will cause the tab control to fill the pane it is in and grow/shrink with the pane. See the attached VI (LV2013).

You can also write to the PaneWidth and PaneHeight property of the Tab control to set it programmatically. There is also a property somewhere that causes the tabs to fill the width of the pane as well.
