default value of string

[kim515]

Dear all,

I have developed a program in Labview. In my program, there are some "string controls". I need to enter the value when file is opened(for example: IP address,port no.).Do you know how to set the default value of "string control"? I don't want to enter those value evey time. Based on the value may not constant, i don't want to use "string constant"

Thank you.

Regards,

Kim

type value, right click on control and choose "make value default".

Another method is to write a value to a local of the control early in the vis execution, if you use a state machine an initialization state.

I prefer the second method since I use queued state machine designs for most of my UI vis.

Hi,

when you're in edit mode, you can set the default value by right clicking on the control and selecting " data operations".

If you wanna set it in run mode you've to read/write from file. I think that this should be easier for you.
