LVFontTypeDef.ctl "Size" has other datatype than size of property size

[Daniel_Leadec]

Hi,

the Datatype of the property size of an control (for example caption --> size) has an other datatype than the size in the used LVFontTypeDef.ctl.

Here we have a difference between u16 --> datatype of size of LVFontTypeDef.ctl and the property size of caption or label or anything else --> u32

Whats the correct one? Hope its u16.

regards,

Daniel

Dear Daniel,

I didn't get your problem.

Where are this Controls from and who created the TypDef?

And what is exaclty your problem, why are you trying to do?

Does it matter?  Whether it is a U16 or a U32, the largest possible number is still way larger than any reasonable font size you'll ever use.

From where did you get the context help that shows font size as a U32?

Okay, I see where the other Font.Size came from.  It seems like the Font Size is sized as a U16 when it is a part of the Caption.Font cluster, but becomes a U32 when it is Caption.Font.Size as a property node.

It seems like a very inconsistent definition of that property and probably should be flagged for investigation by NI.

This image should give a clearer picture.
