Hello,

Is there any specific control to enter the IP Address in labview??

Please let me know.

No, in LabVIEW there is no ready-to-use control to input IP addresses.

But you can easily make your own (using a string input) or search for VIs/XControls in the forum. I'm pretty sure someone else already made such inputs…

Dear GerdW,

If i use string control I am not able to limit 8-bit number for each portion of IP Address and it also accepts the characters and special characters also.

I just want to avoid those conditions.

Hi Sonti,

you can use en event structure to filter unwanted chars when the user enters them. You can even program some more checks to allow just regular IP addresses…

Why don't you use 4 numeric controls? That's how the address is set in Windows.

Thank you very much  GerdW,

I will try this.

Dear Dennis,

We can use 4 numeric controls also, but only thing is cursor automatically move after entering 3 digits in each control.

That can be accomplished with a set focus property node in the value change event for each control.

I use a string control and error check it like this:
