Converting EasyTab_LoadPanels to LoadPanel

[riddhi_shah]

Hi all,

Currently I am migrating from labwindows 2008 to , and my stumbling block is to convert EasyTab controls to Tab control, one of the function that I am using is EasyTab_LoadPanels in one of the code line as :

int retcode = EasyTab_LoadPanels(*handle,tab_ctrl,1,w->uirname,__CVIUserHInst,tab->tab_id,&newTabControlHandle,0);

Could anyone suggest a piece of code or suggestion how can convert it to Tab control, without errors, would using LoadPanel be all?

Appreciate the help!

Thanks,

Riddhi

Using the old EasyTab control implied a bit of code to have it work correctly: you had to design your pages in the UIR editor as separate panels and load them at runtime with EasyTab_LoadPanels or EasyTab_AbbPanels. This is no more needed with native Tab controls: you can design the tab pages directly in the UIR editor and have them ready at runtime simply loading the panel that holds the tab control.
Nevertheless, you may need for some reason to add pages to the tab control at runtime, so that functionality has been maintained: you can add pages to a tab control by using InsertPanelAsTabPage () command.

If you are upgrading an old application the easiest you can do is to directly copy and paste your panels into tab pages and get rid of all EasyTab code. You will need to call GetPanelHandleFromTabPage () command to get the panel handle to be used to address controls into individual tab pages.
