Number of digits on slider digital display

[jvh75021]

I have a slider control with a display format of %.1f which works nicely for the scale. On the Appearance tab I have checked Show digital displays. This display seems to have no formatting control. I tried adjusting the size but it does not adjust neatly, either too many digits or partial digits displayed. Can it not be controlled except by creating my own indicator?

Also I would like to know the difference between Numeric and Digital Display on the Display format tab. 

thanx,

jvh

Go to the slider Properties -> Display Format. And where it says "Numeric" choose Digital Display. Then you can format it.

It seems that you know the answer yourself.

"Numeric" formats the scale's legend numbers. "Digital display" formats the digital display.

Mega Duhs on me! I kept looking at that and thinking it was 2 different display formats, not 2 different objects, though I admit I couldn't see how they were really different.

Now you all know why I use an alias instead of my real name....

Where were you when I thought it was cool that my name was still unregistered?

Nah, it's nothing to worry about. The more you practise, the more such stories you can tell. E.g. today it took me about 10 minutes to realize that the problem why I can't draw a scale on a desired picture is only because I have forgot to wire the "scale specs" input to the Draw Scale.vi.

In the heat of battle I found myself frustrated because I could not get a control to react when I typed a new value. So I posted thinking I had a bug and Dennis replied something to the effect;

"Advnaced >>> Enabled State >>> Enable

I'm sure you never forgot that one.
