hidden labels after copy

[Yves]

Hi
is there a function to unhide all labels. when I copy controls and indicators from a vi to another I always miss the labels in the new vi. why?

Hidden or not, a label is always copied along with the control or indicator since the label is part of it and not a separate object. If you copy something with it's label not visible, that label is there in the new VI - you just have to select Visible Items>Label to see it.

Thanks for your answer, but this is not exactly the problem. The label is visible on the original item. But is hidden on the copied item.

There isn't a function to unhide all labels but you can do it programmatically. I have attached a VI that illustrates how to do it.

The behavior you are experiencing seems strange. When you move a control with a visible label to another VI, it should stay visible on the new VI. Does this always happen? What version of LabVIEW are you using?
