Shortcuts for displaying labels and icon view?

[CasonSwRI]

I have about 200 numeric controls and they are all in icon form with the labels not showing, is there a way I can select them all and display the label and switch them out of icon view?

There is a poperty node Label.Visible. If you can get a reference to all the front panel controls, you should be able to wire that reference to the top left terminal of a property node.

Im not quite sure what to do from what you posted, sorry, Im new to LabView. I think that you may have misunderstood my problem, although theres a 95% chance i misunderstood your solution. I posted a .vi showing what I want to do, look at the block diagram.

Thanks

Here is a sample. If you have more objects on the front panel, you may need to add a case statement and test to see if the reference is linked to a numeric control. I have 7.0 and can't open your file.

I saved it in 7.0 format, your vi displays all the labels on the Front Panel. I was wondering if there was a way, like an option or something to display them all in the Block Diagram view. Although, I think the .vi you sent me will be helpful for another of my applications 🙂

Thanks

Go to tools, options and uncheck the option to create front panel terminals as icons. Close labview and open your file again. Go to your front panel and select all of your numeric controls. Ctrl-C to copy them. Start a new vi and paste the controls to the front panel. Look at the block diagram view and they should have labels and not be an icon. Maybe you could copy all of your block diagram code into the new vi, or delete the controls in the first vi and paste them back into it. I don't know of a way to modify the block diagram view when running a vi.
