Initializing property nodes especially Column headers

[blessedk]

Hello,

I am facing problems with initializing property nodes esepcially column headers for my front panel tables.

The second item that does not initialize is a list box which serves as both a control / indicator at different times ( also uses property nodes in read/write modes).

Finally, I have cursors generated using "cursorlist" property node. This won't go away too 🙂 So it appears that the initializatiion issues I am facing are mostly with property nodes. I look forward to a solution. Thanks.

Can you share a small VI where you're trying this so we can take a look at what you're doing versus what you're trying to accomplish?

Let me rephrase the question: I have column headers property node from a table. These Column headers remain on the table on my front panel. Even after the vi is restarted. How should it be intialized so that the column headers do not show up when I first restart the vi

Hi blessed,

These Column headers remain on the table on my front panel. Even after the vi is restarted.

Yes, sure! Why should it behave different?

When you set a property of a FP element and then save the VI all properties get saved too! Once you set them they stay until you change them again!

So when you want to have a certain FP look when your VI starts you need to set the properties as needed in the "init" state/phase of your VI…

Aha! OK. I thought about that just didn't know how to do that in the unit state but before I bug you more I will try harder and if I can't then I will come back here 🙂

I have successfully done that. Thanks once again.
