Partially disable the display styles of strings

[JB]

If this were possible, I would sometimes disable one or two of the 4 available styles to keep only those which display the string in a useful way.

Example :

If using a string control to define the termination character of a serial communication, Normal Display and Password Display are useless but the two others are both very useful.

• carriage return :
• '\' Codes Display --> \r
• Hex Display --> 0D
• line feed :
• '\' Codes Display --> \n
• Hex Display --> 0A

Note from admin: This idea had previously been declined due to a misunderstanding of the run-time behavior of left-clicking the display style glyph. I have re-opened the idea.

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined.

While declined, the idea might be worth this comment: this appears to be a rather specific UI requirement.

The desired effect can be obtained by hiding the display style icon on the FP (which anyway might not be very clear for non LV users) and adding your own context menu to the string, offering the only two choices you want. The Display Style property can then be used to set that programmatically.
