Set Default value of string control in run time

[loba]

Hi everyone,

when I am in editing mode, I can right click a string control and go under "Data Operations" and select "Make current value default".. I need to do this in run time mode but I cannot find a property that does the job.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

LoBa

I would create a string constant with your default value and feed that into a value property node.

Hi Loba,

My advice is to init the control items from your application with ini files. You got an API for name config file VI. Like that, you can change the default value between each application run.

This is explain Here.

In addition to the native LabVIEW ini VIs, you can install the OpenG toolkit which has a ton of improved add-on VIs. Part of this is the OpenG Variant Configuration File palette. There's even a VI included called Write Panel to INI (and Read Panel from INI) that makes it really easy to save your VI session between runs.

This is how it's done for the whole panel:
