Print page option will not stay set

[ghenton]

On this vi, go to vi Properties page for Printing.

The checkbox at the bottom is the one I want set.  "Auto matically print front panel...."

I check the box.  I save the vi.  The box is no longer checked!!

Why?

I want to make this happen.  I must make this happen.

This vi is not finished, but is good enough to demonstrate the issue.

Thanks.

Interesting. This behavior looks like a bug. It's still there in 8.0.1.

As an alternative, you can use the "Auto Logging->Print at Finish" property for the VI, like this:

(Obviously, you want to change the node to "write" and wire in a Boolean constant.)

It works fine in LabVIEW 7.1, so this seems to be a 8.0 bug. Just call an invoke node to print the panel, it's cleaner anyway.

Some other suggestions.

1. There is no need to write all these properties with each call, just make them the default and save the VI.
2. That while loop consumes 100% of your CPU spinning like crazy. Use an event structure instead.

OK, this is a known issue.  I have a work around.  Thanks for the help everyone.

You are correct -- this is an issue that has already been reported to R&D (CAR #3SF2JK3U) and one that we are currently investigating and correcting for future releases of LabVIEW. Apologies for the inconvenience, but I'm happy to hear you have a workaround!

Kind Regards,

This was reported to R&D (# 3SF2JK3U) and was fixed in LabVIEW 8.2. Here is a link to the current evaluation software download for LabVIEW.

Thanks!
