Boolean text disappeared after exe creation

[LW42]

Hello!!!

I deploy a touch panel exe on a National Instruments Touch Panel. The exe contain a boolean indicator-LED which is supposed is set to show boolean text (multiple strings function is also ticked). However this function doesn't work that means that boolean works properly however no text is visible. Can somebody help with this?

Thanks in advance

Good Morning thorfano,

I used a TPC-2106T to test.  I just made a LabVIEW 8.6.1 VI with Booleans (one indicator, one classic control, and one modern control) whose properties were set according to the description in your post. Both behave properly, showing the text that I set.

There was a known problem with the Classic Control Square Button Boolean Text in LabVIEW 8.5.  Which Touch Panel and version of LabVIEW are you using?  Which Boolean control are you using?  A silly question, but have you confirmed that the On text and Off text properties have values in them?

Good Morning Charlie,

Thank you for the reply. I am using LabVIEW 8.6.1, Touch Panel exactly the same with yours (2106T) and the boolean used is the Square Led from the modern category. I attach a screen capture of the properties box of the specific boolean. If nothing further can be done I will try to use another boolean and I will let you know.

Hello again,

I tried using a round led (indicator) instead but the problem persists. Could it be an error that I do during executable creation?

Thank you in advance

Good Morning thorfano,

You should not need to do anything special to get these to work.  If you try to run a TPC VI without having a Build Specification

I attached a .zip with my .lvproj and .vi.  You should be able to unzip the files and open the project.  The only thing you will need to change is the IP address of the TPC in its properties window.

I also attached the TPC .exe to which this project compiled.  However, Don't download this file from the forum until you have tried to compile the project yourself.  I want to see if there is something wrong with your compiler.

Hello Charlie,

Your Project works perfect. I also tried this:deleted your exe from your project and created again and still was working fine. I attach my project hope that can help find out what's happening here.

Thank you for your cooperation

Good Morning thorfano,

I happened to notice that none of your Boolean Texts are over the indicator, whereas mine are.  If you move your Boolean Text over the indicator or simply right-click the indicator and select "Lock text in center", you should be able to see your text again.

A variant of this bug has already been reported to R&D; I am in the process of adding this specific case to our documentation.  I apologize for any inconvenience this issue may cause you and hope that the workaround of moving your Boolean Text is acceptable.
