Inserting a panel with a control array as a tab page returns error accessing the control array

[RobertoBozzolo]

I am trying to develop a adaptive UI in CVI 2015 but I am getting unexpected errors.

Based on the display size, a specific panel in my application can either be shown as a stand-alone panel (actually a popup panel) or included in an existing tab control on the main application panel. The problem lies in that on the panel there are some control arrays and I have problems trying to access them when the panel is loaded into the tab page, with GetCtrlArrayFromResourceID () returning error -24 (Invalid panel ID or menu bar ID in resource file). Non problem when the panel is shown standalone.

Now, there is a similar situation when panels are duplicated that should be fixed in CVI2013 (CAR ID 364746), and the thread I am referring to specifically speaks about tab pages, but I have even tried duplicating a tab page with control arrays and get the same error so there seems that the error has presented again in CVI2015.

Attached a small example that exhibits the described error when duplicating a top-level panel, adding a panel into a tab control and duplicating the tab control.

It seems indeed the same behaviour but I replicated same error -24 with CVI 2013.

I think that the only option here is to fill another CAR.

Ok, please keep us informed on this matter when there will be some updates.

In the meanwhile I went back to the old array of control IDs method

Good!

In the meantime I filled a CAR (#603790). I will keep you informed on the next steps! 🙂
