How to get drop shadow text in windows version of LabVIEW 2009

Solved!
Go to solution

In the lower left corner of the attached JPG you can see that "Instrument Cluster" has a drop shadow.  I created it by accident and would like to use drop-shadow for control names, but I cannot figure out how I did it. The only "Style" options in my Text Properties drop-down menu are Plain, Bold, Italic, Underline, Outline and Strikeout.

 

The Help file implies that it can be done in MAC OS. I just did it in Windows.

 

Does anyone know how?

That free label isn't really inside your while loop, it is "hovering" above it and that is why LV is drawing the shadow.

Drats!  An artifact. 

 

I guess it is floating because I typed it on a boundary?

 

Thanks for the tip.  As Nick Danger would say, "You saved me a lot of investigative work, flatfoot."

Then mark Darin's message as the solution to your question rather than your thank you message.  Go to the Options menu to the upper right of your reply to be able to unmark it as the solution.
