How to create a propety node for .net container

[zou]

Try to set the initial position for a .net container, but seems no way to create a property node for the container (with an Textbox object).

It can only be done when container is empty.  I wonder why?  Do I miss something?

Hey zou,

I just created a .NET container and inserted a textbox into it. However, I had no problem at all with creating a property node for the occupied container. All I did was add a blank .NET container to the front panel. Then Iright clicked inside the container and added the textbox. Once I added the textbox I was able to create a property node on both the frontpanel and the block diagram.

As a side note I am using labVIEW 8.6, but the version shouldn't matter for this.

Is that property node for the .net object (textbox) or for the .net container?

Thans for reply.

If you right click on an empty container or a container with an object in it, it has the same available choices to select. However, if you create a blank property node on the block diagram, and wire up the .net object to it, you will see a much different list of properties.

So, the property node created from right clicking a .NET container will be for that container, even if there is an object inside. To create a property node for the object, you must wire the .NET object to an empty property node on the block diagram.

I must be over looked yesterday.  The label of the property node doesn't change when container name changed.
