subvi front panel indicator will not show first time

[johnsold · Accepted solution]

Are you talking about the control labelled "prompt"? The value from "prompt ctl" may be written to to "prompt" before or after the front panel opens.

Try moving the prompt terminal after the case structure containing the FP.Open proprty node.

You're using the red depracated(?) FP.open-property, change to invoke node->open front panel and try again.

johnsold,

Thanks for your post and it worked okay if I move the indicator as you mentioned. 

We still have the inconsistancy here, it will not display the first time it runs, then it will display properly. I made sure the text is not the old value because this vi is called more than once with different text, it will display proper value once it's run. It just will not work the first run after opening LabVIEW.

Yamaeda,

Thanks for pointing this out. I have already replaced my old property node with the new one, even though it couldn't solve the problem.
