Front panel controls auto-complete?

[DsX]

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is any way of having auto-complete functionality on front panel controls?

Here I don't mean the combo box control (predefined auto-complete), but rather that labview would remember previous inputs and make suggestions.

Thanks

There is no built-in mechanism for this, just as there is no built-in mechanism for this for the standard Windows controls (e.g., a textbox) if you were programming in Visual Studio. You have to program this yourself. For an example, you can take a look at this: http://lavag.org/files/file/24-string-autocomplete/

Thank you for your answer.

I think I can use this and add a save/load mechanism for the word list.

Best regards

Hi,

at this point this is probably no longer an issue, but you can also this example [link removed; example no longer available] that is provided for the xcontrol 🙂

What is "venus.ni.com"? Is this like ae.natinst.com, which is not accessible from the outside (i.e., real) world?

Thanks for pointing out that I copied a wrong link, my bad!

So this is the link I meant to copy.
