Custom Control Difficulty

[Sparky]

I was able to customize the regular listbox control to get the large wide scroll bars for my touch screen. This does all I wanted to do. See screenshot attached. Now the operator can do everything without a keyboard (from touch screen). The problem is that after I save the VI, and then run it again, the listbox scrollbars have reverted to original size (see the other screenshot). I tried saving it as a control, typedef, and strict typedef, and checked automatic from typedef in the properties of the control, but nothing prevented it from reverting back to the narrow scrollbars. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

I have seen this behaviour before. You can verify with NI but I think (at that time) it was confirm as a bug by NI

File a bug report with NI.

Do it the dirty way - with an external slide and a TopRow property node.

If you have 8.x and more than one, you can try an XControl.

This problem looks suspiciously like one that was discussed at length http://forums.lavag.org/Table-scrollbar-customizations-not-saved-with-VI-t4098.html' target="_blank">here, though the item was a table rather than an MCL. But as others have posted, it wouldn't hurt to file the bug report with NI to remind them that someone else needs 'fat' scrollbars.
