Create Custom Data Type from Labview Tab Control?

Hello All,

 

  I have a previously created Labview VI that I have been using for a TestStand Code Module.  I am trying my best to keep the front panel well organized and user friendly so that I can continue to reuse it for manual testing (outside of TestStand).  One issue with this is that I have a large number of controls organized in a Tab Control container.  TestStand does not seem to recognize a tab control as a container.  From what I can tell, it only recognizes it as the I32 enum that it uses to select tabs.  I have successfully created custom data types for TestStand from Labview clusters, so I know it would work if I pulled all of the controls and indicators out of the tab control and put them into a cluster, but I don't want to do this because it would make the front panel too big to view/use.

 

Any suggestions for either :

A.) An alternate Labview container type that TestStand will recognize, but still allow for "stacked" controls.

B.) A way to make TestStand treat a tab control more like a cluster when it is imported as a parameter.

 

Please Advise.

 

Thanks,

GSinMN
