What exactly is this? Your screenshot indicates that you refer to the height of the scrollbar...

What exactly should the (data) type of a SCROLLBAR be? You know these are used to scroll the page, not to display measurement values.

Is it possible that you mix the scrollbar with a TANK, PROGRESS BAR or SLIDER indicator?

 

Addendum: I can see where your confusion might come from: The scrollbars are placed in the NUMERIC palette, which is indeed a weird configuration. Discussible if this should be changed....

I Solved the problem to another way.

 

Thank so much, Norbert_B

The Data Type isn't really disabled.  You can change it by clicking on the icon on the upper left.  The lower part is unavailable because it's only applicable to Fixed Point (and you can't set a scrollbar to Fixed Point).

Unfortunately the Properties dialog does not give you access to all properties.  In this case, the properties you want are "Doc Max" and "Doc Min".

 

You can place the attached hazardous file in your LabVIEW 2017\project folder to access all properties of objects
