Changing the scroll direction of an indicator

Solved!
Go to solution

I have an indicator that I am using for posting a number of results and it has a scroll bar to allow the user to scroll through

the lines of the indicator. 

 

One thing that I did notice is that when I write to this indicator, the first line written to it gets placed at the bottom of the indicator and each line there after inserted on top of the indicator.

 

Is there a property node or any easy way to change the order of how the indicator displays its data so that the first line

written remains at the top of the indicator and subsequent lines are displayed below previous written lines?

 

Thanks

Your description is missing all of the details. Is this a string indicator? How are you appending new data? If you are using the concatenate string function, you probably just need to swap the inputs.

You are getting the concatenation to be exactly what you tell LabVIEW.
