I have a block diagram with multiple controls for a single quantity. For example, there might be a "raw register" which is a simple 8-bit (U8) number, and then some radio buttons to provide "interpreted" control of each bit in the register. If one control is changed by the user, then the other control tracks the change, either of which the user might change depending on how they are using the GUI at the moment.
However, it seems that a radio button control data type is fixed as "U32". So I get coercion dots when I try to parse out a bit of the raw U8 register to set the radio button control value. Certainly it's functional, and not a speed-critical application. But I've caught a lot of real mistakes because of those dots, so I'd like to make these "false errors" go away. Of course I could insert a type conversion from the numeric palette, but that seems too 'brute force'. I'd much rather be able to change the type of the radio button control. It doesn't seem to be possible, though. I've checked properties on the entire control, on the individual booleans, and even checked in the control editor in both customize mode and edit mode, but no joy.
Have I overlooked something obvious (again!)?
Thanks and Best Regards,
