Darren's Weekly Nugget 06/05/2006

[Darren]

Anybody taken a close look at the String palette in LabVIEW 8.0 yet?

What's that strange new constant on the fourth row?  Why, that's the Space Constant.  Now you don't have to be confused if that empty-looking string on the diagram is really empty or has a space in it.  And even if you set "\ Codes Display" on your string constants, you gotta admit that the Space Constant looks a lot cooler than a regular string with a "\s" in it.

-D

P.S. - Check out past nuggets here.

It's always good to have "+++" in LV8.  This will be useful indeed!

Thanks Darren!

Well, there was nothing confusing about it, a string constant with a space was actually always shorter than an empty string constant (using a proportional font). 😄

No, seriously, a space constant is good to have. (In the past, I always displayed such things in "\codes" for clarity.)

It is incredible, how many things in LV are still to improve. Thanks, Darren
