Hi Jens,

Can I have some more infomations on your question?

What is your application(PDA?) or are you using the .exe file on another computer with lower screen solution ect.. 

Mybe you can also send me the code you are trying to build, so I can look into it for you.

Its a bug in LabVIEW PDA 8.0 ! You cant fix it. Increment/Decrement worked fine in LabVIEW 7.1, I am as dissapointed about this as you are. Increment/Decrement still work, but you have to click on a blanc background. Generally I have not found LV PDA 8 to be stable enough to make the move. Hopefully we will soon get a fix.

There is a LabVIEW 8.0.1 patch, but I don't know if it fixes this particular problem.  The way I read it is that this update is mainly to work with Windows Mobile 5.0.  The link is ftp://ftp.ni.com/support/labview/pda_module/updates/ and the readme there has more details.  (I don't think it has been "announced" yet, so it is possible that it may not be finalized?)

Hope that this helps,
Bob Young

Hi Soren,

What are the specifications of your PDA(processor and running system)? Dials and inc/dec arrows were defaulted to be 3D for PocketPC but some pda devices has 8-bit(256) color and cannot display the 3D controls.

You can fix this by checking the BITSPIXEL value for the device and accordingly drawing either the 2D or 3D control. Again it depends on your PDA.

Regards

Just downloaded PDA 8.0.1. This fixed the increment/decrement problem. Now I am testing if it also fixes the memory leak problems I am having with PDA 8. One thing it does not fix is that boolean controls such as a green/red diode, does only show partially, however this I can live with.

Sorry for the late responce:

More explanation: I make the EXE program and run the EXE program on the same computer, and the decoration and inr/dec buttons disapear. When I try on another machine the problem is gone.

Hi Jens,
Is this still a problem for you? Can you see and use the buttons when you run VI from Labview?
When you run from .exe file and you can't see the buttons, do you get any respons when clicking on the fileds where the buttons supposed to be?
You can also try to change your screen resolution.

It seems to be a screen resolution problem..

Can you post or send me you Labview code, then I can look further into the problem.
