Open the Hierarchy View and select show full path from the view menu and show controls.

WOW is that anoying!  you would think the property editor would pick up the name on the palette or the *.ctl / *.ctt file name.  At least I would think that! 

After poking my nose around it appears that the "system booleans" are the odd men out 

"Dialog Boolean" for System Boolean, System Cancel Boolean and System Check Box.  Just plain old "Object" for the System mixed checkbox.

You should consider opening a CAR Matt;  even if its a low impact, the expectation would be consistantcy.

Jeff,

I brought this up in our general discussion forum and the consensus seemed to be the following.

The system controls that are labeled differently are done this way because we take the object from the OS that LabVIEW is running on.  For the system boolean in particular, the control properties are labeled Dialog Boolean because the object is pulled directly from the OS dialog buttons that are used, this tells us where LabVIEW is actually getting it's properties from.

I did not end up opening a documentation CAR because it is seen as expected behavior.

I can accept that I'm glad you thought that through and talked about it. That's really all I asked.
