How can I create a tab panel in labview with vertical tabs? I mean I know how to create a tab panel and when I set the location of the tabs to left, they are were I want them to be. But they are rotated and I want each name to be displayed horizontally:
I can suggest one option, which I am not sure is the best one.
You select tab location to left, tab size to fixed, hide tab names and write your tab names somewhere in FP and drag them where you want on your tab.
It would look like this.
Short Answer: LabVIEW does not allow horizonally align text on left aligned tabs for tab controls however...
Change the Tab Layout to an image instead of text and import your text that way (as an image). This way the text will pop-in and pop-out when the page is selected and the image will be part of the tab control instead of some floating object.
Right click the tab control and go to Advanced>>Tab Layout>>Image. You'll need to use Ctrl-C in from an image editing application (MSpaint works fine for this) in order to import the image from the clipboard to the tab control

I am using SSRS 2008-R2
I have a textbox in a tablix/matrix, for usage as a menu bar, which links correctly to given reports (four to be exact).
The textbox is using a background image, to represent a button.
However, only the text inside the textbox is a link to the report, i want to be able to use the entire box, which is formed by the background image.
Is there a way to alter the 'action' so the entire box is clickable?
Alternatives, like using an image, is also very welcome!
You can't make the whole text box a link but you can put your Action on the Image instead.
In the Image properties, there is an Action tab that works the same as the Action tab on the text box which should work when the user clicks on it.
I have continuous forms made of a header section and a detail section. Controls in detail section are bound to a recordset, while the ones in the header are not bound.
At opening time, focus is made on the first (left) control of the detail section or, if the recordset is empty, first (left) control of the header section. In such a situation, and for forms that need an horizontal scrollbar, the scrollbar will be set to the right side of the form, and left-side info wil be hidden, confusing the user.
Any way to make sure that, in all case, my form will open with its left side visible?
Thanks
Usually to avoid focus discrepancies, I use a small transparent button that I just call btDeadFocus in the header -or the detail section- of my forms.
This invisible button doesn't actually do anything more than capturing the focus. I just make sure that this button is set it as the first control on the form using the tab order list.
The button also becomes useful in situations where the focus cannot be kept on a control. For instance a control that needs to be disabled. I just move it to the btDeadFocus instead.
Is there a way to separate a label from a textbox?
I found that this is supposed to work :
Select the controls
Arrange tab
Remove layout
But the remove layout button is always disabled... Probably cause it's only when you use the tabular or stacked option
Is there any other way to do it, or am I doing something wrong?
Please, don't tell me that I have to copy/paste the label and delete the original one.
Thank you
To move a text box (or any control) independently from its label is to click and drag the control using the large grey box in the top left of the control. This allows you complete freedom of placement between the control and label.
Remove layout only works if you use either tabular or stacked.
Use the square at the top right to move them separately, and select only the label to delete the label.
Just select the one you want to use only, and it can be controlled separately. Also: width, height, top, and left in the properties tab are your friends.
Use remove layout if you can select that little cross.
Use the align buttons to tidy up this mess.
I do not use Access much so I find letting Access create all the labels is quicker, when separating the label from the data I use the following method.
Click the label
Ctrl+C to copy label
Delete to remove label
Ctrl+V to paste label back to form
Drag from top left to roughly the location you want
If you have a column of labels then do the cut/copy/paste/reposition for all of them first, then use the method Fionnuala shows to align all to right.
If the labels are too far to the left or right the use the cursor keys to move.
Again use Fionnuala method to align the rows.
If you find they do not align as expected then Ctrl+Z to step back.
If Remove Layout is not available, select Stacked, which will make Remove Layout available, and then select Remove Layout.
This also keeps things where they are, so less re-aligning afterwards.
I think I've got the right answer. Select the Label and send click "Send to back" on Arrange Tab. Label will be detached. Now move it anywhere as required.
I am creating icon menu (toolbar with icons) in gtk# and I do not know why my application always selects (highlights) first icon (every parameter is default). Is there a way to have all icons unhighlighted (highlight only when cursor moves over icon or user clicks on icon)?
Every answer will be very much appreciated.
It looks like it has keyboard focus. You probably want to give another widget the default focus.
I have created a custom TitleWindow whcih i use as a popup. The contents of the popup are created dynamically depending on a selection a user makes from a datagrid.
My problem is, my datagrid is in another custom component whcih is toward the bottom of my page so when a user clicks one of the items the popup is displayed however with half of it out of sight at the bottom of the page.
Is there a way to position a popup so that it displays at the top of the page?
I know at least two things you can use to position a popup, though there might be more.
When you place a popup you can choose in which parent component to place the popup:
PopUpManager.createPopUp(this.parent, TitleWindowComponent);
In the component itself:
PopUpManager.centerPopUp(this);
I wanted a help tooltip type popup (with help text) to appear next to the icon that opened it. In the end I used move(x,y) to move the window where I wanted it. To get the coordinates to place it, use globalToLocal:
var globalX:Number = localToGlobal(new Point(myIcon.x, myIcon.y)).x;
var globalY:Number = localToGlobal(new Point(myIcon.x, myIcon.y)).y;
toolTip.move(globalX + myIcon.width, globalY);
That puts the window just to the right of the icon, myIcon.
