How to display a "structure label"?

Hello!

 

I've seen some VIs on the web where structures show some kind of label (or is it called a title bar?).

For example, on the LabVIEW home page there's an image of a producer/consumer loop.

The producer loop has a light blue label on top, while the consumer loop has a green label.

How can I make these labels visible and where I can configure them?

 

 

Regards,

Dietmar

Right-click on the structure and select "Visible Items >> Label", Then format and position the label anywhere you want.

I could do that, but the standard label has a fixed size and when I resize my structure I need to edit the label again.

And in the example above the text is centered. I don't think that you can center the standard label, can you?

The label can be resized and you can center the text. Just select the text and use the font menu in the toolbar However, the label will not automatically resize if you resize the structure.

Thank you.

 

Seems to me that I'm not the only one who would find a better label system useful:
