> Yes it just doesnt make sense that ni has had the ability to do rotated
text as a property of the text reference type but doesnt expose it in their
text/string controls. Its not like they are starting from
scratch. Mayme an Xcontrol could override this, I will have to think
about this one (replace the text filed in a string control with a free
label?).
I think XControls are still way to heavy for serious use. I also had crashes
when I put XControls on frontpanels that where closed with VIServer. So I
stay away from them for now...
But using free labels is a good idea. Too bad they still don't have
labels... Jet another thing that people have been asking for for years.
Some day we might just get free lables and decorations which can be named and referenced, this would solve so many issues. Yes I never use Xcontrols outside of internal projects. They take way too long to make and have seen some side effects that were unpredictable. Conceptually XControlls are a a great solution to many UI problems.
