Cannot change numeric min max property

[ced09]

Hello everybody,

By right clicking on a numeric control I cannot change the minimum and maximum range. (it is always returning to 0 after typing 25 for example at the maximum value, the numeric is UINT16).

This is happening on every vi in my project, even if I create a new empty one.

BUT, it is not happening when I close labview, re open labview and open an empty vi (not in the project). This way, I can change the maximim property of a numeric, as usual.

Is there a project property that forbid to change numeric property, in all vi in the project ?

I am missing something ?

Thanks for your help.

ps : I use labview 8.6.

This was a "feature" of LabVIEW 8.6.0 and should have been fixed with 8.6.1 as far as I remember.

Actually, I am using labview 8.6.1....

What is the trick to avoid this ? The only way is to progamatically set the min and max ????

Thanks for your help

So if you try to change the range of an allready existing numeric control in a VI of a certain project, it does not work?

If you create a new numeric within this VI and then change the range, does this work?

I made additionnal tests.

If I  put a new numeric1 DBL on the FP on a vi in my project, I can change the max property to 5.1 for example.

If I put a new numeric2 DBL on the FP, and I change the max property to 6.1, the max property 6.1 is automatically set also on numeric1.

If I put a new numeric3 UINT on the FP, the default value to max property is also 6.1, that is strange for a UINT.

It seems that what is happening is dependant of what is the first numeric I put in the FP.

The beahaviour I was previously describing what because I first put a command in the FP that was a typedef of a cluster containing different numerics.

I really don't understand what is happening, because I rthink it is not the first time I use min max property, and I never had such a problem as far as I remember.

Thanks for your help.
