Embedding pyVCP into an axis tab was created by radar_macgyver
I'm using axis, and would like to create a pyVCP UI that is a main window tab - along with the preview and DRO. The link below seems to indicate this is possible using the EMBED_TAB_COMMAND from the ini file:
linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gui/pyvcp.html
When I tried this with 2.9.0~pre0, the panel pops up as a separate window. It does create an empty tab with the name specified under EMBED_TAB_NAME, but the actual content shows up in a separate window. Any way this can be done?

Can you try the sim demo: sim/pyvcp_demo/pyvcp_embed_tab
To see if it works there?

Interesting - I don't have that demo on my installation (it was from the Raspberry Pi iso). I have other demos for pyvcp, just nothing called pyvcp_embed_tab.
I wanted to write a custom UI to help with probing routines, and it looks like the other options (gladevcp, qtvcp) require tools like glade or qtbuilder that aren't available in the right version, at least on Debian 11 on the RPi.

It should be there - note it's not under the AXIS heading.

Its pretty new, I would try to update linuxcnc. Its probably not included in the version you have.

I must have a borked version or something:
Apt reports that I have the newest available version of linuxcnc-uspace and linuxcnc-uspace-dev. The only apt sources I have configured point to debian.org, do I need any that point to linuxcnc? The docs all stop at Buster, not sure what to include for Bullseye. There are a couple of posts on here that indicate Bullseye doesn't have an official armhf .deb.
Maybe I should just revert back to 2.8 and Buster.

Success must depend on the LCNC version. I have 2.8.4 and tried quick and dirty copy files from github to a new subdir in ~/linuxcnc/configs. I got the new tabs but the widgets appeared in 2 seperate windows ( tabs empty). So to embed pyvcp requires update.
Multiple tabs might fill my needs but scrolling panes inside the tabs would be nice
BTW pyvcp pane can be created by scripts. I dont know is glade qtvcp pyqtvcp can do that.
