view disabled tabs

[jspaarg]

I am using the same app for two different modes of operation.

One with password protected privileges, one without.

Basically the password enables the user to access information on tab pages that are disabled without the password.

Initially I set the visible property to false for tabs when the password was not entered.

However, there are parameters on those tabs that I would like the non-password user to be able to see.

I changed the code so that when no password was entered, the disabled property was set to disabled.

That allowed the tabs to be seen, but they cannot be selected; which means that the parameters cannot be seen.

Is there a way to make all controls on a tab disabled at the tab level, or do I need to disable each control individually?

i.e. Allow the tab to be selected, but not allow any of the controls to be changed.

All help is appreciated.

Thanks

The page also has a property called Controls[]. You can simply wire this into an auto-indexing for loop and disable all the controls on the page with the same node.

Hello,

This document has a bit more information as well:

In What Order are the Control References in the Controls[] Array Obtained for a VI?

PS - an example is attached which disables + greys controls in the tabbing order, using the Controls[] array.
