In Labwindows, is there an easy way to make a string control display in hexadecimal, the way Labview would allow with a right click?

Presumably you are actually displaying a number, so you could use a numeric instead of a string. Numerics can be set to display decimal, octal, hexadecimal formats, as desired.

Thanks.I did think of that. I'm trying to duplicate a Labview USB example that sends and receives. How would I convert the received string to hexadecimal?

Ah - I think I'm with you now. I don't know Labview at all so I'll have another guess at what you want! Would something along the following lines be suitable:

    char line [100]

    char out [256];

    char segment [3];

    char *in;

    char c;

    out [0] = 0;                            // Ensure output line is blank

    in = line;                              // 'line' contains the received string

    while (c = *in++) {                     // Repeat until end of input string

        sprintf (segment, "%02X", c);       // Convert one character to HEX

        strcat (out, segment);              // Add it to the end of the overall string

    }

    SetCtrlVal (panel, text_control, out);  // Print the string when finished

Thanks JR, that looks like what I'm looking for.
