Tabbed GUI - when compiled, components are not displayed.

Hi everyone, I uploaded this test schematic of a Tabbed - GUI which I borrowed from MyCo. I then put a few LEDS, an Amp, Comments etc on each page of the Tabbed - GUI and everything is displayed just fine on each Tabbed Page.

But when the Tabbed - GUI is compiled, it shows up displaying all empty Tabbed Pages. Why ?

Can the experts please have a look at the schematic and possibly make the necessary alteration/s in the schematic so it can function correctly and re-post it here?

Thank you guys.

Regards.
:(

I haven't got FS installed on my internet machine, I can have a look though.
What about trying adding a 'redraw' prim on tab change?
Hope helps
edit-just had a quick peep--
how about selecting everything on the highest level and making it all into a module to export,
does that help?

You have to export the schematic with included content modules.

question on this tabbed GUI please ...

Is there any restriction to the number of modules that can have tabbed GUI ???

What I mean ... MyCO has designed the single multi-tabbed window ... which is very nice BTW.

Let say we have 10 other modules that each has it's own multi-tabbed ... and that all of them are placed into a single multi-tabbed.

This would allow for some very useful features and layout.

There could be the main screen, a sub configure tab, a doc/info tab, etc. Several other modules could be similarly configured.

Then, all of this could be housed in a main 'multi-tabbed' ... so we could have a main page, a global config, etc.

Is there a limit ???

Thanks ! and big THANKS to MyCo !!!
:D

No, there is no limit RJ,
beyond your system's resources.
you can have as many sub-tabs as you want.
Just route the 'view' or 'area' connections, as I imagine Myco shows.

Thanks for the confirmation Nix !

I wanted to be sure before building up this new project ... which, I already started.

I have 12 separate modules that are all contained in one GUI. Each of the 12 are 'Multi-Tabbed'.
BTW ... this is great, and works very nicely.

Next I need to drop the entire GUI into the Multi-Tabbed design.

This whole concept is really nice.

Thanks again !

Thanks MyCo !!!

Was wondering ...

MyCo's 'Tabbed Gui' [for EXPORT] ...

Is there anyway to control the size of the border that is the 'body' of the window ???

I'm able to adjust the 'inset' parameter, but the boarder surrounding the main body is 8 pixel thick [i think]

Anyway to get a user config to control that thickness ???

Thanks
