Place string constants in BD using codes display by default?

[Oli_Wachno]

Hi,

is there a possibility to configure LabVIEW in a way it uses the Codes Display as default for new BD constants? Just wondering cause we were hunting a stupid bug due to an unseen whitespace.....

Is there a Labview.ini option available?

Cheers

This is probably not a solution for your problem.

But couple of things comes to mind:

1. You could write a script to traverse the BD to set all string constants to codes display.

2. Even better, get the string value and using a regex check for that Whitespace while traversing maybe?

You may want to try this.

If you like it, you also want to vote for this idea here.

I don't know of any option, but you can create a VI with such a string constant, then put it on the palette and configure it to place its content. That way, you can use that instead of the regular constant. This won't help, however, if you're creating constants from terminals in subVIs, etc.

Hi guys,

thanks for the suggestions. If I get it right, there's no known option to configure LabVIEW this way

Maybe I can also establish a rule in VI Analyzer.
