Change Label or Caption Text of String Indicator

[hiNI]

Hello,

Can you change the String Indicator Label or Caption Text?  I tried this, but I keep getting the error "Property Node (arg 2)":

Can you tell me if changing the caption or label text is possible?

Thanks,

hiNi

You should include the error code when posting the question. See Error 1320 When Setting a Caption Property for case 2.

You cannot run cases 1 and 3. See Programmatically Changing the Label for a Control or Indicator in LabVIEW

Changing a label of a non-idle control\indicator isn't allowed.

Showing\changing a caption works iff the control\indicator has a caption. That's only the case if the user created a caption.

A vanilla control\indicator doesn't have a caption. The 'caption.visible' property will give an error. The caption has to be shown once. From then on the control has a caption, and the caption can be changed while running, and shown\hidden freely...

Caption: Yes

Label: No

The error is probably due to the caption object not existing.

Open the properties of the indicator and enter anything as a caption.  That will cause the caption object to be created.

Your code should work after that.
