Slider control bug?

[St3ve]

Hi,

When I try to open a custom control I saved I get an error message:

"Unable to display the front panel of the VI. The VI's front panel may have been removed"

Here's what I did:

-Created a new control

-Put a classic simple slide down

-Changed to indicator

-Show digital display

-Right click and select 'replace' on the digital display and replace it with the classsic style simple numeric

-Change the background/foreground colours

-Save the control

I've tried this a few times and get the same result each time. It seems to be replacing the digital display which causes this behaviour. Any ideas?

Regards,

Steve.

No help, just a confirmation. In 2009 f2. I tried this and upon opening the control, I received...

LabVIEW: Generic error.

An error occurred loading VI 'Control 1.ct;'.

LabVIEW load error code 3: Could not load front panel.

...and it does appear to be the changed digital control which causes the problem.

Does it remain a control after you change it to an indicator...?

Mine changed to an indicator, at least it made the proper appearance changes from control to indicator.

However... as I was trying a few other things, I placed a modern slide control and began to change the numeric indicator to the classic simple style, and received a fatal error as shown in the attached gif.

FYI, NI: Upon restarting LabVIEW, it said there was an error with StdNum.cpp line 2418

In a way I am pleased it wasn't me doing something silly!

I forgot to mention I am running LabVIEW 2009 (9.0f2 32 bit) on 64 bit windows 7.

Has anyone from NI seen this thread?

Hello All,

This has been reported to R&D (CAR 195727) for further investigation.

I just did the exact same thing and got the same result.  Now I cannot even open my vi calling my custom control and have to revert back to a previously saved version losing some work in the process.
