Control and Indicator labels and captions visible

[mcdonaa7]

Why would you ever want to make a control or indicator label and caption visible at the same time?

Usually you select Visible Items>Label (or Caption) because you want to switch between them. If the Label is visible it would be faster to just switch to the Caption (and make the label invisible at the same time) - and vice versa. The same applies to the properties dialog: If the label or caption checkbox is selected, the other one should be automatically deselected.

This may seem a trivial point, but for years I have found this incredibly annoying 

It would be nice to have checkbox to switch this feature on/off in the LabVIEW options.

Thanks

Because I want to use the label for a name and the caption for a dynamic unit.

This is not going to change in LabVIEW 20xx. In LabVIEW NXG, we have completely changed how control-name-versus-runtime-label is handled, eliminating this duality entirely.
