Automatically keep the newest data visable in a String Indicator

As the new
data is writen
to my test log
string indicator
the old data
remains visible
while the new
current data disapears
forcing the operator
to have to keep
pulling on the
scroll bars to
see his data
I see this text window I am typing in works correctly. Why dosn't the sring indicator do the same
I am using "Concatinate strings" and a "String Indicator" The old data from previous entrys is wired to strig 0 and the new data is wired to string 1..

You could reverse the order of the data (put the new data into Concatenate 0). I tried one where I find out how many lines are in the text window and set the scroll property so that you are always looking at the last line. There is a bug in LabVIEW (and yes, I reported it to NI) where the scroll position is set/reported incorrectly. If you have a text box with 4 lines, the scroll position is reported as 0, 1, 2, 2. there is no fourth position (the last two positions are always the same number).

So, I would say, that you should reverse the order of the data.
