Easiest would be to upgrade to LabVIEW 8.5. It has scrollbars for graph legends built-in! 🙂

Thats good to know, I will be making the move to 8.5 after my current cycle of projects finish maybe in october.  I really like 8.21 just waiting for the initial adopters to make sure there are no issues with 8.5.

That is very good news as I plan to upgrade to 8.5 today.  I appreciate all of the feedback!

Cheers!

Hi, all

I have similar questions, what I have is a array with 4 columns and the rows of the array will vary according to applications. Before I set row numbers in front control panel, but if the rows are more than what I set in front control panel, there must some data can be displayed. So how can I display a array dynamically?

Any help is appreciated.

BTW: I use LabView 7.1.

You can set the number of rows to be displayed dynamically using a property node. Else, if the array is smaller than the display, the extra items are greyed out, not always a big deal.

Remember that the array dimensions and the displayed size are completely unrelated quantities. 😉

hi need help,

i also having problem adding scroll bar in plot legend. but im using labview 8.0 how could it be done

[altenbach]

As mentioned, scroll bars in plot legends are only available In LabVIEW 8.5. The easiest way is to upgrade. 🙂

Since you are posting here, you must have read this, and all other previous posts. Have you tried the suggestion by Paul (falkpl) above?.

thk u but i need the hardest way.

i get the example frm the ni itself cluster with scroll.

but for plot legend how could it been done?

[parthabe]

But the scrollbar for Plot Legend is a bit buggy in LV 8.5, I would say...

Not buggy in itself, but when you show it, sometimes the name of the last visible Plot Legend repeats itself twice, I dont know why.

My colleague & I were annoyed over this behaviour before 2-3 weeks when we were trying to generate the names for the Plot Legend texts & feed them into it, without statically creating them before.
