Properties in Xcontrols

[PauloM]

Hello,

I am now starting to test the new features in LV 8.2, I was using 7.1 and skipped 8.0, so there are some new features I want to test before starting to add them to my projects.

I have, in my project an "object" that is composed by two graphs and a chart: when my acquisition rate is low, I show my data in a chart and when it is high, I show it in a graph. 

I have also a transparent graph over the chart just to have the possibility to have cursors when using the chart.

I also have some change scale functionality that I added to the Xcontrol.

I thought this was a good thing to make a Xcontrol because I use it at least 2 times in my project.

I built my Xcontrol, but when I want to show/hide plots and change their colors (I built some properties for my control) nothing is happening.

I was expecting that I would have some events that would fire when I programmatically change the properties of the Xcontrol, but I didn't find that.

By checking some examples I saw that most of the time properties are handled in the Display State Change event of the Façade vi, so I did it there, but it is not working.

I put some breakpoints in my program to see if it is running the property change and it does, but not really when I want it to... and not really with the results I expected.

Can someone check if I'm doing the property handling wrong?

Is there a better way to change properties of one component of the Xcontrol?

Thanks,

Paulo

Paulo,

sorry to say this (you as a PAV) but you made a beginner error. (and it took me a while to see it...)
Your code should contain this:


(for the chart as well)

Geeeeeee!!!!!

Shame on me!

Btw, do you know if that's the only way to handle the properties.

I don't like to be changing all the properties if only one of them should change, or to have variables to store what's the property to change.

Thanks a lot for the help...
