This might be silly question, but is there help on Front Panel objects? For example, on the Front Panel, I selected
Modern -> List, Table & Tree -> Listbox.
Now I typed the letters A, B, C in the list box, and right-clicked on the Listbox node on the Block Diagram, and selected Indicator. Sure enough, it showed the list again.
I noticed that the wire was a bold blue line. I then wired this to a For Loop with indexing enabled, and inside the For Loop I created an indicator again, and this time, I ran
the VI and inside the For Loop on the indicator I saw a number, which was the index of the last element selected on the Listbox.
Well, if you are wondering where I'm going with this, here is my question: How would one find out (where is the documenation) that tells a user the bold blue line out of a Listbox
carries information about the entries in the Listbox, as well as the index of any item selected? I mean there are many other Front Panel objects that don't have any help documentation.
How is a person to learn about Front Panel objects? On the Block diagram, I can mouse over, hit Ctrl H and click on detailed help, but can't do anything about Front Panel objects.
Any websites that can help with this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you Jeff!
I suppose I got so focused on working with Block diagrams and doing Ctrl H and clicking on detailed help for specific functions, that I forgot about the actual big help file:)
I feel silly. But thanks for pointing me to the right place!
