Possible Issue with help for "disable property node"

[Parto]

Hi, In Labview version 9.0 (32-bit) there seems to be a conflict between help info for the Enum constant  as applied to the disable property node . If I right click on a control variable and select create-> property node -> disable. If I then right click on disable -> help for disable, the help lists the following interger assignment 0 - Disable, 1- Disable and Greyed, 2 Enable. If however, I right click on the generated Enum constant and select properties -> Edit Items, the listing order is as follows; 0- Enable, 1- Disable, 2- Disable and Greyed. The latter assignment is how the Enum constant actually works. It appears that the help information may be incorrect.

Regards,

Pat

I think this is a good catch.

Can you post a snapshot of this bug?

Hi,

I compared it with 8.2.

In 8.2 creating a constant, indicator or control by right clicking on the "disabled" property node gave an object of type U8, which operates in accordance with the "help for disabled", ie

0=Enable

1=Disable

2=Disable/grey

In 9.0/2009 right clicking and creating on the property node gives an Enum (of datatype U8) with names/values in agreement with 8.2, and operation as in 8.2, BUT the "help for disabled" message says

0=Disable

1=Disable/grey

2=Enable

Thus I would agree that this is a documentation error, and the LabVIEW is correct.

N.I. Can we have a CAR please?

P.S. I do think that it is a good idea to have made the disabled property an enum, whilst maintaining compatability with previous code. I always wondered why it wasn't that way in earlier revisions.

Hi Pat,

Good find on the error. A CAR already exists for this and is currently being worked on. The help documentation is in fact incorrect and until this is fixed use 0 - Enabled, 1 - Disabled and 2 - Disabled and Greyed out.

Dear Jason,

Can you please post the CAR # here for reference.

Thanks,

Apologies, forgot to add the reference. The CAR reference is 183841.
