Hello There,

How do I make MDI tabs show only charts from the currently active chartbook (and hide charts from other chartbooks)?
Which setting controls this?

thank you,

There is no specific control for this. You should only be seeing the tabs for the current chartbook. The one caveat to this is for windows that have the option for "Window Always Visible" - in this case, these chart tabs will show no matter what chartbook is selected. Refer to the following:
Window, CB and CW Menus: Window Always Visible (Window)

The other thing we want you to do is to ensure you are are on the latest release. There were some interim releases where there could be some issues with the tabs, but these have all been resolved in the latest release (v 2888). Follow these instructions to update:
