Custom Scroll Bar Width Does Not Save

[Anil_Reddy]

Hi everyone,

I was checking out LabVIEW 2009 Bug Fixes, They mentioned the below Issue as fixed. So I have a doubt whether this scroll bar  belongs to table/multi column list box?

Custom Scroll Bar Width Does Not Save

When I tried this in 2009, it still have problem, and NI Application engineer said that it is still pending in 2009 also.

So I would like to know in which control this scroll bar issue is fixed?

Hi Anil,

I believe you can add the following token to the Labview.ini file: autoResizeScrollbars=false.  However, the bug is still not listed internally as fixed.  However, I believe that token should work.

Arrgh, I first reported this behavior (well, alright, I was using a table control/indicator, not the MCL) back in LabVIEW 8.0.  The discussion thread can be found on the LAVA forums, starting September 14, 2006.  In that discussion, Scott Menjoulet and jhoskins seemed to be able to work around it with the "custom control in a project fix", but I could never get that to work, at least not when I built the custom table into an executable.  I filed a bug report on the next beta cycle, but I can't find my old bug reports/CARs online anymore.

But I'm reasonably certain it's been an identified bug since 8.5.

Hello Dave,

Correct, the workaround fix is still to set the LabVIEW.ini config token "AutosizeScrollbars" to "FALSE", and LabVIEW will not resize the listbox's scrollbars on load. And then to open a VI containing a Custom Control from the hard drive rather than through the project results in different appearance of the custom control.
