Updating front panel when using Web interface, RT Target

[Rodnebb]

I'm running an application on a cFP RT target.

To view and interact with this application I use a web interface.

The problem is that on a Real Time Target LV doesn't bother to update the front panel. Consequently the variables only updates sporadically, which is somewhat frustrating

The suggested solution to this is to use property nodes to update the value of the variable.

The drawback with this is that every time I write to a variable I have to remember to update its property value as well. If I forget I won't notice until I test my app on a RT Target, and even then it may be hard to realize that this is the problem (I've spent lots of time chasing ghosts due to this problem already). Additionally these write commands take up space on the block diagram.

Is there a way of forcing LV to update the front panel? This really won't be a problem memorywise etc! Or perhaps at least updating the front panel whenever the web interface is running?

An additional questionmark exist regarding when this functionality was introduced. I'm working on SW that was developed in 2005, and at that time this problem wasn't noticed. Or have I accidentally changed something?

Regards

The following document describes the bugfix:

Furthermore, I am somewhat baffled by this, as sometimes the variables are updated, and sometimes not. Among other things, I find it hard to test that this bugfix really works.
