Setting a control's units

[Randall Miller]

Is there any method by which a control's units attribute cam be set
programatically?

No. Obviously you can't change dynamically feet for millibars; you must stay
consistent and stay with the base units.

What you can do is to use controls and indicators with no units and use
different "Convert units" functions in a case structure to convert the
displayed number to required units. For example, you may have a boolean on
the front panel to select US or SI units. Before wiring a length display,
you pass the wire(length units) to a convert to "m" or convert to "ft"
functions. The same after reading a control.

Right mouse click in the diagram window on the control "create attribute
node", after that you can select your attribute.

I'm using BridgeView 2.1 and do not find an attribute for units, only the
caption.
