Why sometimes the labels, controls and indicators aren't show in PDA aplication?

[Adler]

Hi, I'm developing an aplication for PDA device; I'm using iPAQ H2200 Pocket PC 2003; my problem is that the labels of controls and indicators aren't shown, also, Slide and boolean controls and indicators don't apear.
Thanks for your help

Hi Adler,

A recent starter with the PDA module myself, there are only two things that spring to mind.

Are you using the specific controls for the PDA? I don't have a LabVIEW PDA module installation here (at home) to check, but I know there is a reduced set of seperate controls, scaled to fit the screen of the PDA. (Different scaling fo Pocket PC or Palm).

My only other thought is that because the PDA screen is so much smaller than the PC, some of the controls are off the edge of the screen. You need to use the PDA template when you select a new vi to build the application. 

Good luck

Hi again.

Back at work with a PDA module to play with.

Assuming the labels are selected to be visible (right click the control, select visible items, ensure label is ticked), do you switch to Pocket PC 2003 target as soon as you start LabVIEW? Or could you have populated some standard controls, and then switched target? When you select the PDA target you only get the PDA controls to play with, but before that you can use standard controls.

I'm having a hard time picturing what is wrong. If you can post a simple example .vi it may be easier to see where the problem lies.

Hi Bandit

I'm using the PDA controls, and their labels are selected to be visible, the target is Pocket PC 2003; I think every thing is fine; but sometimes they're shown, then I add a control or indicator and they aren't; this is a large application and I was thinking that it may be because I'm using a lot of variables, but I'm not shure; as soon as I finish with all the code I'll send you a copy.

Thanks for your help!
