adding needles to slider/dial controls

[JohnRH]

The following seems to lead to nasty errors and finally a complete LabVIEW crash.

1) drop down a 3D gauge control

2) right click gauge, select "Properties", and Add two more Needles (so the gauge now has 3 needles).

3) click OK

It appears that this bug shows up on any numeric control which you can add multiple pointers to.

The work around is to add one pointer at a time, either in the properties page, or by right clicking on the control and selecting "add needle...".

Ni has a fix for this:

Solution: You can resolve this problem in the following ways:

    * Replace the ControlPropertyPages.llb in the labview\resource\PropertyPages directory with the attached file.

    * Add a needle or slider by right-clicking the control and selecting Add Needle or Add Slider from the shortcut menu.

    * Add or delete only one needle or slider at a time and close the Properties dialog box between each change.
