Hi, Has anyone seen (or can duplicate) the following behavior? Right-clicking on a tab of a Tab Control should bring up "Description and Tip...", then right or left clicking that text brings up the Description and Tip dialog box. However, this does not work when the vi is running (it does work in the development environment when the vi is not running, allowing me to create the description and tip). I'm running version 8.5 on Windows XP. Furthermore, on the development PC, the pop-up Tip (of the "Description and Tip") for the Tab Control appears at the top of screen well above my normalized window, not near the tab near where the mouse is hovering (as it should be and is for all other controls). This is also true of a built stand-alone executable. However, when the exe is launched on another PC (which already has the run-time software installed, of course), neither a Tip nor the right-click context menu appears at all. Any thoughts? Thanks. Ed S.

Sam K, (Who is "Deduce"?) Anyway, I did submit this as a product suggestion in the LabVIEW Idea Exchange. Then Aristos Queue filed this as a bug report under CAR #285134. See http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Tab-Control-Run-Time-Menu-for-Each-Tab-page/idc-p/1453526#M10579. Thanks again. Cheers. Ed
