How can I set the tab order of text box controls on each page of a tab control?

I need to be able to select the tabbing order of individual controls on a single page of a tabbed control. How??

In LV 6.1 an up you should be ablel to right click on the edge of the tab control when the tab-page in question is selected.

The bttom selcetion in the pop-up is "Reoder controls in page..."

selecting this option will switch editing modes to allow you to specify the ored, just like in a cluster.

I seem to remeber in older versions you had to drag the tabable controls off the tab control, specify the tabbing oder and then drag them back on. The oldest version I have on this machine is 6.1 so that all I can speak for at the moment.

I hope this helps,

THANK YOU!
That is just what I was looking for. I could not find any reference to this in the Labview manual.
Have a nice day
