LabVIEW Gauge Control Digital Display

The tick marks disappear  because the size of the gage, you can adjust the size of the gage to get the distribution you want.

Please if your problem is solved, mark it as solved, and add kudos

It appears that using your digital solution, I cannot set how the tick marks appear. Setting a range of 0-360 on the numeric results in tick marks every 50 degrees (see piccy). This is not acceptable, and I can't change the size of the compass rose on the panel. Also a most unfortunate feature is that the user can click on those tick marks and change them!!

So the solution I am looking for is to use the text labels and have the target system work like the Development system, with the additional text input box disappearing once the operator has entered the 'Other' data.

I have come up with an acceptable solution, so please don't spend any more time on this problem, unless you are a National Instruments engineer worrying why the two systems behave differently.

My solution is to have a separate numeric instead of the built-in numeric for the gauge control. I have made the Gauge an indicator, but I can still detect mouse down events on the text labels (which animates the pointer) and use the values to set the new numeric. I can also detect a value change on the new numeric and use that to set the Gauge. Either method supplies my application with a value to be used.

Hi,

I am glade since you came up with a solution. However, I tried to simulate you text label gage many time in order to get the same problem, but the mentioned problem did not appear, sometime, some shades appears on the front panel or block diagram which can be removed by minimizing and maximizing the front panel window.

After all, I am glade you came up with a solution.

Thanks for your time Zaki.
