Ring control's problem (CVI6.0)

[vishi]

I am using CVI6.0 on windows XP. Strange thing that the arrow on the drop down ring control is disappearing.

I see other users having similar problems. Here is a ref. to an old msg.

Any solutions. It is weird. I removed the control, added a new control. It had arrow. Moment, I ran my program, the arrow disappeared. Now arrow is gone, even when I open my UIR file in the editor.

The only solution we found was the one I added at the end of the previous discussion you referred to.

Try downloading the CVI 7.0 evaluation version to see if the same problem exist there. I believe this problem has been fixed in 7.0

Hi,

You may also want to generate the ring control programatically, this should eliminate the shinking arrow problem. Basically something like this:

PANEL_RING = NewCtrl (hPanel, CTRL_RECESSED_MENU_RING, "", 72, 87);
SetCtrlAttribute (hPanel, PANEL_RING, ATTR_CONSTANT_NAME, "RING");
SetCtrlAttribute (hPanel, PANEL_RING, ATTR_SHORTCUT_KEY, 0);
SetCtrlAttribute (hPanel, PANEL_RING, ATTR_DATA_TYPE, VAL_INTEGER);
InsertListItem (hPanel, PANEL_RING, 0, "one", 1);
InsertListItem (hPanel, PANEL_RING, 1, "two", 2);
InsertListItem (hPanel, PANEL_RING, 2, "three", 3);
InsertListItem (hPanel, PANEL_RING, 3, "four", 4);


This way the arrow should be there everytime you run your app. This is fixed in CVI 7.0, so as
Bilal says give the eval version a try.

I don't see the problem in CVI7.0. But I have to use CVI6.0 for this
project.

Thanks anyway.
