Problem resizing LV 8.2 array constant - resizing handles don't appear on second try.

[Matthew_Williams]

Has anybody seen cases where array constants on the BD can't be resized?

I have confirmed with several new .vis the following:

1) new .vi, open block diagram
2) place array constant, drop in int or string constant
3) grab resize handle at the corner, expand to show several elements
4) try to grab resize handles again; they don't appear.  Array can't be resized further.

LV 8.2/WinXP.

Any suggestions on how to fix?  Saving and re-opening .vi doesn't make any difference.

Thanks.

I don't think this is a bug...when you first hover to get the grab handles, it's the "corner" tool, because with a 1D array, LabVIEW doesn't yet know which direction you're going to expand the array (you always see the corner tool with a 2D array).  So let's say you decide to resize the 1D array down.  Now, if you hover over the array, the corner tool isn't there anymore, but there are grab handles at the top and bottom of the array so you can resize it up and down.  To me, this is expected behavior.

Got it.  Thanks for the quick reply.  This is different from <= 7.x, where the
corner handles remain.  Learning 8.2; now I know.  Thanks.
