Should All Property Nodes go through UI thread?

[LabBEAN]

Just wondering if there is an update on the CAR (or if it's been switched to another number)...

*Thanks*

Good question.  BTW, I notified a moderator about the accepted solution on page 2 already.

The CAR number and priority are still the same as they were in David's last post. The best I can offer is that R&D is still working on correcting the issue, and it WILL be included in an upcoming release.

every property changed in a single property node triggers a control update on the screen

Alright, so I've verified the behavior in 8.5.1 and 8.6 as well.  The property node processes them all at once in versions 8.0.1 and 8.2.1.

I've just checked into the status of this CAR.  It's been given an increased priority and it appears to be a hopeful addition to the next maintenance release.  Of course, there is not guarantee that it will make it in by then, but from the notes on the CAR, it is apparent that R&D is actively working on it.

The reason for the question is that, as of September 2008, the "next maintenance release" would have been LabVIEW 8.6.1.  Since I didn't see the CAR listed for 8.6.1, 2009, or 2009 SP1, I want to make sure NI hasn't forgotten over the last 18 months.

I ran Larry's VI in LabVIEW 2010 and the problem persists.  Can we get the CAR status?

So, all I can say (unfortunately) is that it is still being worked on by R&D toward resolution in a future release. Until an issue is actually fixed, its target version isn't fixed, so I can't say for sure which version it will be. I can, however, confirm that it is still being actively worked on.

FYI, the referenced Property Node CAR 125593 was fixed in LV 2011. Rejoice in stability releases!

Also, I believe that the LV Help specifies for each property if it "Loads the front panel into memory", which you can use to help infer whether the Property Node uses the UI thread. And no, they do not all use the UI thread.
