Formatting a String Inside a Cluster

[DsouzaAbel]

Hey Folks,

I have a strange problem. I want to display a string with the text formatted in a particular fashion. I went through the link which talks about formatting a string (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/6BD344ACA4DEE20A8625692700737E16). 

The problem I face is that I have a control which has 3 string indicators placed inside a cluster. I can perform data handling/updating but not able to create a property node for the specific string indicator inside the cluster control which needs to display the text with some specific formatting.

Is this completely the wrong approach or can this be achieved somehow?

Thanks in advance, Abel.

You are going about it the right way.  You just need to get the property node linked to the right component.

Oh Cool... This worked like a charm. Created a property node and then linked it to the required string indicator.

Many Thanks

Just some additional information.

If the cluster is a normal cluster or a simple typedef, you can easily create property node for each individual controls inside the cluster (Except those which are intentionally hidden).

If the cluste is strict typedef, it is not possible to create property node throught the frontpanel in which case it is better to create a property node and link to components desired (as mentioned above).
