Customizing Tabs color - XTab

[mbaudot]

Hello,

I'm currently trying things with XTab and I was wondering if there is a way to customize the color of the Tab background and text as shown in the image?

Thank you.

Hi,

If you are ready for some picture editing, you can change color and aspect of the enire tab. Just go to ..\vi.lib\SAPHIR\ViBox - XControls\XTab\Page\Resources. You will find all the resources used to draw the tab.

Note that :

• You musn't change the size of the pictures
• Blue and green are use as a mask color to apply system color at runtime. These color can't be displayed.
• The more complexe your pictures are, the more cpu resources are needs to draw the tabs.

Concerning the text color, you can't currently change it. I filled-in a new repport with this request for the future version of the XTab.

Hope this could help you. Feel free to share your custom tab here, I'm really curious of what could be done by others.

Have a great day,

Olivier

Hi Olivier!

We really like your XTab and we can't understand why NI hasn't used your excellent idea and made it a part of LabVIEW a long time ago.

We are also interrested in beeing able to change text color (and perhaps even font) for the tabs, though. Is there any work beeing done on a new version on the XTab?

Best regards,
