displaying ssize_t values on an integer control

[Wolfgang]

Hi,

in a related question to my earlier post (http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=180&thread.id=46242) it is not obvious to me how to display ssize_t values on a numeric control.

For a numeric control, I have to decide using either int or int64, while the idea of ssize_t was that this switching will occur depending on a macro (32 bit or 64 bit compilation)...

Thanks!

Hi Wolfgang,

The only limitation is that, if you're currently relying on the UI editor to set the data type of the control, you'll need to override it programmatically:

    SetCtrlAttribute (panel, control,  ATTR_DATA_TYPE, VAL_SSIZE_T);

ah, indeed, programmatically all the attributes are available. Good to know 🙂

Thanks!
