How do I resize the contents of probe windows?

[Phredrick Dobbs]

I have a probe looking into an array of unsigned words. The problem is, the index only show three characters and it has 16,000 elements or so. I want to able to see which element I'm looking at, just to be safe. However, the general procedure in Windows of dragging the corner doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,

Make a custom probe! I find the default probes lack space as well. You can make a probe out of any control (*.ctl).

Unfortunately, the only solution today is to make yourself a custom control,
a .ctl file that has the array stretched the way you want it. Then you can
probe with a custom control.

Its been more then 10 years.  Did NI ever fix this?

Fix what?

The problem referenced in the posts above mine,  e.g. that probes do not resize correctly.

Nope. Still the same. I guess NI figured that since you have custom probes, for them to guess what an appropriate size was would have been an exercise in futility, so they left it alone. But that's just a guess. You can always post an idea to have this changed, if one hasn't already been posted.
