How to contorl ring's dropdown menu position?

[Anne Zuo]

Hi All,

I have ring controls on FP. The problem is, when the ring text string is long, the dropdown menu goes over the screen and shows up a few centimeters over to the left.

Any way to control the dropdown menu position? It's just not in the right spot and looks wired.

Thanks a lot for any help.

What do you mean by "goes over the screen". How can it go over the screen? Do you have a screenshot? Also, which ring control are you actually using (there's more than one). Also, which version of LabVIEW?

Since the ring control on FP is just beside the monitor right border and its text string is longer than it's actual size, when I click on it, the dropdown menu shows up a few centimeters over to the left instead of going out of the screen.  I guess it's a build in feature, but looks bad.

I am using classic ring contol, and labview 8.5.1.

Here is the screencopy.  Thanks

Interesting. That does look bad. That actually appears to be a System Ring control from the System palette (though I think there's a copy of it in the "Classic" palette). The Modern Menu Ring doesn't look as bad. The popup menu still appears to the left, but it appears much closer to the ring so it still looks like it's "attached".

I verified that this behavior is still present in 8.6.1 and agree that it looks wrong.  This was reported to R&D (# 178565) for further investigation.  Thanks for the feedback!

It may not be consistent.  I could not reproduce the behavior in 8.5.1 or 8.6.1f1.
