I am creating numeric controls/indicators on the fly. Most of them need to be displayed in hex. However, I can't access the format properties that allow me to set this when I create the control/indicator using the New VI Object VI. I think this is happening because the numeric type is not Digital (Strict) but rather just num.
I say this because I realized that if I simply place a numeric control on a front panel, right click to create a reference, then access the properties of said reference, I indeed have access to the format properties I'm talking about. A compare/contrast pic below to show what I'm talking about...
So my thinking then was, perhaps I should change the style of the object I'm creating to be of type Digital Numeric, but this style doesn't exist. There are Digital Data styles, but that's something completely different.
So my question is, what style/class combo do I need to have a numeric control that will allow me to specify the Format property?
thanks
