Tabs saved as enums in cluster

Status: New

I have seen similar suggestions on tabbed clusters, but what I would like to be able to do is add a tab control to a cluster.  For example, I would to pass via the connector pane a tab control with different controls on the different pages (by putting the tab control in a cluster to pass as a single data type). Basically, I have several ways of defining the data and use the tab control to choose which way the data is defined. This saves a bunch of window space and is much more intuitive to look at versus having a cluster of every control with a separate enum.

 

What I want (showing all three pages):

What I currently have to do:

I suggest that the tab control would look like an enumeration as a data structure within the cluster . Thus, put the tab control in a cluster and when you unbundle it, it would like like the unbundle of the second example.

 

I looked at using XControls to separate the display from the data, but I found out you can't wire an XControl to the connector panel!

It'd also be nice to be able to have the tab not even BE data in the cluster, and be for display only.
