Digital Display format bug?

I have an enum (happens to be a typedef) with the Display Format set to %.1d_0x%x so I can see decimal and hex representation.  When I turn on the digital display on the control it works fine.  If I turn the control into a constant the display format only shows the decimal part.

Edit time up already?

It's a ring, not an enum, but it behaves the same way in both cases.  Also, when the Display format is set to just "%x" it still shows in decimal on the block diagram.

Nice find! It actually changes the format to floating point. I am filing a Corrective Action Request. We always appreciate these type of finds.

You can manually change each one individually once it's constant. Easy workaround

Can you leave the CAR here when you get it

This was reported to R&D (# 318263) for further investigation.

 

Although it was submitted 10/10/2011, I am following NI discussion forum protocol by posting here properly. I have no updates to share at this point. However, I will take this time to again personally thank you for taking the time to point out the bug.
