size array indicator width

[id]

Is it possible to autosize the width of a string array based on the maximum  length of the strings in all of the elements?

Hi id,

yes, that's possible...

Spoiler

- Check the length of all strings, either by StringLength or by GetTextRect

- set the width of the string indicator to fit the longest string using a property node

that works for the individual element but the array indicator that contains the string doesn't resize automatically to fit the new width.

Hi id,

for me the string array indicator changes the width when I set the width of the string element!

Show your VI to spot the problem...
