Sizing numerical arrays to other string arrays

Solved!
Go to solution

 

I want the Voltage a6 a7 columns/array to match the size of all the others for alignment purposes. I have to shrink the text too much to accomplish it. Any ideas?

Replace the numeric element with one from the "Modern" palette. Silver has a lot of border spacing.

Unless you really need them, I would also hide the increment/decrement of the "# BYTES" and "RELAY BANK" so all numeric fields have the same height and font size.

 

Is this really a control where the user can change things or mostly an indicator. As indicator, maybe the entire thing could be done with a table. If some of it should be a control, consider voting for this idea. Now you could make each row a horizontal cluster control (with fields acting as indicators disabled) and make a vertical 1D array of these clusters.

Most of this needs to be changed on the fly including Bytes and Relay Bank. Only D2-D3 and Voltages are indicators only.
I would love to change this to a cluster, I already tried it, but there are a lot of behind the scenes reading and writing to Excel. This works for me so I'm not going to rewrite it.
