Nested properties & cluster error

[JensM]

Hi everybody,

twice the same is not for a long time yet the same in LabVIEW.

Setting two properties causes the overwriting of the first property.
This behavior will presumably apply to nested clusters / classes, too.

Please see attached example vi for closer information.

Does anybody have any idea or information about that?

Best regards,

Hallo Jens,

even if it only helps in this very special case:
Why don't you make the "Text.Text Colors:BG Color" transparent and just switch the "Text.Colors:BG Color"?

To show the property name differences you can switch to 'Long Names' in name format property!

Hi Gerd,

thanks for your quick and friendly answer. Indeed the "long names" format helps to differ the two properties even if the long names are really long.

As you have already mentioned your solution is only for my example problem.

I guess you know that this isn't my real problem. It's just a simple demonstration with which I wanted to point out that there seems to be a severe error within LabVIEW. Just think of the properties being diagram axes or NI-DAQ parameters instead of simple colors.

What i need is a workaround / solution for the main cause.

Anyhow I appreciate your help.

Best regards,

Michael Theumert

Hi Jens,

yes, I'm aware of this being a bigger problem...
I think you should write an email directly to NI to get some in-depth answers. Please provide any answers in this thread!
