Changin representation of numeric control

[CharlesB]

Hi all,

I started yesterday to play a bit with the scripting of VIs. I must say it is a real pleasure! But something I haven't found yet is how to change the representation of a created numeric control? I'm creating it through "New VI object.vi" (from OpenG toolkit), but it always created as a double.

How can I do to choose that?

If you know how to get a reference to a numeric control (Generic->GObject->Control->Numeric), one of its properties is 'Representation'. The parameter is a U32which appears to be the index of the floating palette for selecting representation. It is, of course, only writable on a control owned by an idle VI, since it alters the VI's code.

Hope this is helpful.

Regards,

Dave

I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I can't find such a property...

I attached what I use to create a control, what is wrong with it?

Thanks

Perhaps there is more scripting that you have not yet encountered.

Attached is your VI with modifications. I hope this helps.

With best regards,

Dave
