cursor legend in lv8.2

[vix]

I'm trying to re-build a project made in LV7.0 but I must do a lot of changes, and I'm very annoyed of it.
I've seen the lv8 cursor legend and I hate it. LV7 style is definitively better.
How can I change column header names? Cursor, X and Y are general, but I'd like more specific names.

Dear vix,

I have been investigating on that but I didn't find anyway to change those things in the graph properties neither with a property node or customizing, so I don't really thing you can change that...

The advantage of LV8+ is that you have cursor move events, letting you easily create your own cursor legend!

I'm using LV 8.0.1

Is it possible change the colomn width?

My X scale is Time, and I would like to see the entire Time-Date in the leged

It is some kind of trick:

• change to run-mode (ctrl-m)
• change the column width
• change to edit-mode (ctrl-m)

EDIT: you might have to 'allow' the user to change the width, (I don't have LV here so I'm not sure how it is named)

Looks kind-a silly to me but it works.

Thanks for your reply.

In both run or edit mode, I do see the cursor change to 'change-colomn-width-mode' but cant move it!

So I have to find how to "allow" this....

If you already know the width you want do this.You must have your VI settings set to open the control editor on double click for this to work.

1. Place graph on VI.
2. double click to customize graph.
3. in the customize window right click on graph and select visible items/ cursor legend.
4. change to customize mode by selecting the little wrench.
5. then double click on the cursor legend . this will bring up the customize window for the cursor legend.
6. change to customize mode and edit as you wish.
7. save control and exit, then when asked if want to replace the control select yes.
8. save graph control, exit and select yes again.

This way you can make it the way you like. Turns out the cursor legend is just a multi-column list box.

Hi,

I have no issues with changing the width of the cursor of an XY-graph. I can hover over the seperation line and my mouse changes into an drag left-right cursor (or what's his name).... (my previous post describd a table/tree control in general)

The strange thing it looks like I can't find a property node to hide/unhide the cursor list

The problem is there is no VI Server Interface for the Cursor legend, see here for example:

Hi again,

I followed Joe's instructions up to point 6: In the control customize window with only the cursor list box.

In neither mode (wrench or tweezer) I can move the vertical line!

Is there another setting I dont know about?
