How to nest tab selectors within a flexible layout?

[Harman234]

Currently I have a flexible tab layout and have all the tabs set to flexible. In the first tab I want to add another flexible tab layout for a number of pages related to the application. When I try to add the tabs to the flexible layout, it doesn't let me nest and only jumps on top or on the bottom. How do I solve this? I can put other elements inside the tab but I cannot nest tabs. Thanks.

The editor does not allow you to nest tabs configured for flexible layout:

• You can place a tab control on a flexible layout panel directly
• You can nest a tab control into a tab control with a tab configured for absolute layout
• But you cannot nest a tab control into a tab control with a tab configured for flexible layout

An alternative to creating multiple pages using a tab control is to split the application into multiple separate web pages. This is a great pattern for web applications as it allows your users to navigate directly to different parts of the application with there own urls. If that approach sounds interesting, the Multiple Top-Level WebVIs example shows how to make a WebVI with multiple pages that link together.
