LabWindows/CVI

Create»Message

You can place text anywhere on the panel with a message control. The message control serves as an online documentation tool for panels. To add a message control to your function panel, select Create»Message in the Function Panel Editor.

In the Create Message Control dialog box, enter the text into the message text control and click OK. To enter a new line in the message text control, press <Ctrl-Enter>. The text appears on the panel, and you can position it like any other control.

Note Note  Use this message control when you create function panels. If you are creating a GUI, refer to the Graphical User Interface topic for information about user interface controls.
