Labview local variables not always renamed

[mgouin]

Hello,

I might be missing something, but it seems that sometimes the local variables in my VIs are not always updated when I rename the Front Panel control associated with it.

I have an example where I right click on the terminal of a control named "RxConfigTest", create local variable.  The local variable that gets created is named with the old name "RxConfig1".

Have you ever seen that behavior?  I'm using LV 7.1.1.

Thank you,

Mathieu

Are you sure that's the label you're seeing, or is it the caption? The caption and label are two different things.

I would agree here it sounds like you are changing the caption not the lable. Do you know how to show the lable? Just asking if you are a newbie if not don't be offended by the question.

Hi,

Thanks for the response, but I was actually displaying the label.  I know that this sounds like a newbie question, but I'm not.

I noticed that by closing and re-openning my VI after the rename, the variables were updated.  It looks like a refresh that was not done.  Even the local variable in the block diagram was not resized to the new text of the variable name.

I'll try to grab a screen shot if it happens again.
