VERY Long Selector Label - how to view entire list?

Solved!
Go to solution

I "inherited" some code that includes an Event Structure with one of the Selector Labels having at least 20 entries, each having 15 - 20 characters.  The Selector Label displayed is truncated, no matter how wide I make the Event Structure.  It is also truncated (in a different place, oddly enough) in the drop down display of Cases.  

 

How can I see the entire list of events?  This is very hard to troubleshoot.

Right click> edit events handled by this case TAKE a SNAPSHOT.  edit the snapshot in paint to show just the event sources and events and place the list in a picture constant on the BD.

 

Painful but then you can "duplicate this case" and put half of the events in each case.  There is really not a "Great" way to get around poor data structure. 

 

I'm shooting in the dark but guessing event: val change: in a bunch of user "parameter" controls?  if so use a cluster to logically group the parameters and use the cluster val change event.

That's what I was looking for.  Of course, you are right that a cluster makes more sense.  This code came out of a major medical supply house and I have to get it running before I can modify it.  Thanks for the rapid response.

Glad to know the capability to view the entire list is now part of LabVIEW 2011, which I am now running.  It will make my life easier.
