Problem with the Value property node (MacOS)

[chilly_charly]

As far as I have tested it, Value Property nodes (and Value (signaling)) don't work in MacOS : The value property appears as a boolean, the value(signaling) as a cluster (width, height).

Even with boolean controls, the node is not working.

No such problem in LV 8.6.

Am-I missing something ? Is that some "intended use" 😉 ? Or simply a bug ?

That sounds like some sort of indexing problem with the property nodes like somesort of corrupted installation.  What if you just delete the property node and recreate it?

I dropped a numeric control and looked at the shortcut menu for the list of property nodes.  Right below Value and Value (signalling) are Visible (which would be a boolean) and Xcontrol, which when you step down through the submenus, the first choice is Container bounds, a cluster of Width and Height.  So these 2 datatypes that are 2 lower on the list match the ones you are getting.

What happens if you pick another property node a few elements up or down on the shortcut menu?  Does is happen for some other properties, and if so, are thereany properties that are okay?

Here is what my property nodes look like for a numeric and I draggged the box up and down to show the natural order of the property nodes.  Note that I have scripting installed, so there are a few more property nodes (and the blue box at the top) that you might not have.

PS.  Check you signature.  The Kudos button is now moved to the left since the forum upgrade.

You are probably right : things are getting worse. Here is what I get now.

Most of the properties seems to be corrupted, and don't even correspond to the numeric.

Time to re-instal LabVIEW before my laptop melt ?

Here's my numeric again from TipStrip to IncKeyBind.

Like you said, a lot of those properties don't seem to apply to the numeric class.

Also,  Val(Sgnl) is listed twice, once as a cluster, and again as a numeric

Also, Val(Sgnl) is a write only property, but on yours it looks readable.

Also, TypdefVI causes my property node to turn blue because it is a part of scripting, but your property node did not turn blue.

You were right : I reinstalled LabVIEW after trashing the 2009 directory, and everything is running properly now. 

... and I moved from right to left... 😉
