Overview

Coding that exemplifies how to allow the string control to scroll according to the mouse wheel.

 

Description

This example demonstrates using mouse events and string properties to allow the string control to scroll according to the mouse wheel. While not seeming very useful, the addition of scroll response to a program makes the UI more attractive, easier to use, and over all seem better, so the display has a "soft" input method and does not seem so "hard."

 

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Run the VI.
2. Select the option you would like to use to scroll.
3. Insert a text that is bigger than the control size in order to require scrolling.
4. Place mouse over control and use the wheel to scroll.
5. Stop the execution by using the Stop button.
