increment decrement visible property

[Intaris]

It would appear that (in LV 2012 SP1) the simple numeric control from the Classic palette shows following behaviour when accessing via VI Server:

Class Name = "Digital"

Increment / Decrement Visible = Error, property not found

?? What ??

It appears that these controls, although being a member of the "Digital" VI Server class do not honour the interface of the class of controls it belongs to.  Is this by design or is it a bug?

This caused me some headaches in the last 24 hours.  I was not aware that "Increment / Decrement Visible?" was one of those properties which may or may not be present (Like a valid "Caption" reference when a Caption is not visible.  At least here we have a check with "Has Caption?".

Sorry, Error is actually Error 1504, Object not found

error 1054

Use a customized Silver "Frameless Numeric" instead

I suspect the classic style was adopted from the "System Numeric" which behaves exactly the same way (LabVIEW 2013 SP1)

Error 5014? 4150? I'll get there eventually.

So it's kind of expected then. Seems a bit weird that a plain "ByVal" property is sometimes not supported.  I knew that was the case with References (Text labels, Scales etc.) but not with these kinds of properties.

I live and I learn (and get lots of error codes wrong).
