ring format

[craige]

Upon inserting values into a ring control in CVI 8.1 some auto-formatting seems to take place that I wish were not there.

For example:

The phrase Hello__World appears as HelloWorld when viewed from ring drop down. Upon selection the label returns to Hello__World. I understand that 2 underscores are common notation for key-navigation so this behavior is not so out of place. Is there a way to display Hello__World as just that "Hello__World" EVERYTIME so my customers don't get confused

Easing customer confusion since 1984,

Hello

This is something we will need to investigate further. The behavior you are seeing occurs because menus (which is what the popup is on a ring control) treat underscores as accelerator key shortcuts while the textbox that displays the actual string value does not. There is no workaround at this point for disabling the underlining behavior.

I will forward this bug report to the developers so we can fix this for upcoming releases.
