Labview 8.5 suppress cursor dropdown

[robbycon]

In Labview 8.5 I am telling cursors to move to specific indices in code.  This works fine.  Each time I do it, however, the cursor dropdown fully expands.  I am only using these cursors on the one chart, and I don't want this.  Is there a way to suppress this in code?

I can think of two possibilities

1)

2) Just move the cursor legend off screen to an un displayed area of the FP

I want the cursor legend because I want to read the data.  I just want the dropdown to be suppressed in code (I know I can do it with the mouse).

OK I miss-understood.  Did you want to "prevent the tree control in the graph cursor legend from expanding?"

This is not how tree controls behave- you would need a referance to the cursor legend (which I can't find a way to get) But I'm still looking

So you may need to create a faux cursor legend

Yeah, that's what I was trying to do.  I just made my own legend.  It was pretty easy.

I figured that would be the way to go.  Glad you are on track
