No indication that a Radio Button reference control is Strict. Intentional or bug?

[Broken_Arrow]

On the front panel control for a Reference of a Radio Button, when you Include Data Type, there's no indication (red asterisk).

edit: no wait, there is, but it's hidden by the graphic on the reference. You can barely see some red. Bug.

'nother edit: same for clusters, maybe more. We need to be able to see that red asterisk more clearly.

I wouldn't call it a bug, technically.  But that is something that should be improved upon and fixed.

For others, here is an image that shows what Broken Arrow is talking about.  You can barely see the red star on the two reference controls that have it.  Can you find them?

To know for sure, you can look at the context help for the control, and the ones with the red star should have the word "(strict)" in the description.

Thanks for the picture Ravens. Yep, I agree, not a bug, just an oversight.

I would definitely call it a bug, fortunately, it is cosmetic and does not really break anything. 🙂

The bug is present on all references that have that option (waveform, cluster, radiobutton, numerics, etc.) Even on numerics, it is still slighly covered by the graphics (second from left).

That star needs to be in the top center, similar to the graphics to distiguish strictly typed static VI references on the diagram (right).

Sounds like a candidate for an idea? I'd say that since you brought it up, Broken Arrow, go ahead and submit the suggestion.

Take a look at the idea again and let me know what you think of various positions for the star.
