turn off Shared Variable PSP LED status message

[richjoh]

On the front panel, I want to turn off the PSP LED status message that pop up whenever the mouse hover over the LED. I want to keep the PSP LED visible but not show the pop up status each time the mouse hovers. There is no property for this in DSC or Shared Variables.

Hi richjoh,

I'm assuming you're talking about the tip strip that shows up when hovering a mouse over the triangle led beside a binded shared variables on the front panel.

There doesn't seem to be a way to disable that. However you an remove the LED status indicator by using DataBinding » LED Visible property node.

Did you ever find a fix for this?

Hi Mike,

There is no fix for this because it is the intended behavior. You can remove the LED as Stanley said and the strip will not pop up. Also, it should be possible to disable all such tip strips for the front panel by going to Tools>>Options...>>Front Panel and uncheck "Show tip strips on front panel controls."

Read Stan's message (#2) again.

If you don't want to see the LED then use the DataBinding » LED Visible property node and write a False to it.

Hi Ravens, I created 5000 shared varibles (data type :word , 50 shared varibles /PLC ,total 100 PLCs, is there any smart way to create such amount of shared variables ?), if program to every shared variable's visibility property,it's a lot of work.

You can access all the controls on your front panel using VI server.Get a reference to 'This VI' and choose the Front Panel property followed by the Controls [] property. This will give you an array of references to all of your front panel controls. You can index through them using a for loop and set the BindingLEDVisible property to false, as shown below.

Hope this helps!
