VI Analyzer Test - Limit to Single Line on Strings

Status: New
by Trusted Enthusiast on ‎08-02-2012 04:51 PM

Any single-line string on a user interface VI should have the "Limit to Single Line" option selected.  Users will expect that pressing 'Enter' on a single-line string will commit the value, and not add multi-line content that they cannot see.

 

I propose a VI Analyzer Toolkit test that checks for this scenario called "Limit to Single Line on Strings".  The test would return a failure under the following circumstances:

 

  • It is determined to be a user interface VI.
  • It has a string control set to the minimum possible height for one line of text.
  • That string control does not have the "Limit to Single Line" option selected.

If these conditions are met, the test would return a failure, and recommend the user enable the "Limit to Single Line" option on that string.
