Changing the caption text of a strict type def.

[SM1]

I am making a GUI that uses a lot of digital indicators, and in order to keep the apperance of all of them consistent I've used a strict type def.

My problem is that I need to programmatically change the caption text of these strict refnums to display different units (mA, V, etc). Labview seems to only allow me to read the caption text of a strict refnum.

Does anyone know how to get this to work, or get around this?

Thanks, Steve.

Not being able to programmatically change the caption text is a trade off of using the strict type def. I would recommend placing a string indicator next to the numeric controls in order to display the different units.
