progress bar maximum

[BevP]

I want to be able to change the maximum value of a horizontal progress bar programmatically based on user entry into a "cycles requested" field. I am using a property node to try to do this, but the progress bar display does not change range. For example, the bar is set with a maximum of 100 cycles when I build the vi. If the user selects a value of 12, the progress bar indicator will show the updates to the value of the slider, but the 12 steps will still take up just 12/100 of the length of the bar. How do I set the progress bar to show each increment as 1/12 of the space?

I am using LabVIEW 7.0.

Thanks.

What property are you using? I should be Scale.Maximum.

Is it possible that you are writing the wrong property, e.g. "DataRange:Maximum"? This will no affect the scale, but only the allowed values for the numbers.

You need the property "Scale.Range:Maximum". See if this helps. 🙂

As was mentioned in the previous post you must use the "Scale.Maximum" Here is a _very_ simple demo.

Thank you all three! That is just exactly what I needed.
