Multi line text box with scroll

[JohnSantaFe]

Hi,

I need to setup a multi line text box where new strings are appended and the box scrolls.  I found a previous post with a good example. However in the example there was a while loop using shift registers to concatenate the strings and thus append the new string.  In my situation I have a case statement and the new string is added based on an independent state.

How do I  concatenate the new string with what is already in the text box?  The text box is an indicator so there is no output for me to loop back into a concantator. Attached is a picture to help describe what I'm trying to do.

I apologize if this is a dumb question, I'm very new to LabView.

I'm using LabView 8.2

Thanks.

You could use a local variable or property node to do this. But be aware that a shift register is really a much better solution.

You could use a feedback node in the middle of where your broken wire is.

You can use a shift register as well on your outer (not shown) while loop.  Just wire it through the false case and do the concatenation in the true case.
