This document contains the LabVIEW 2010 Touch Panel Module known issues that were discovered before and since the release of LabVIEW 2010 Touch Panel Module. Not every issue known to NI will appear on this list; it is intended to only show the severe and more common issues that can be encountered.
The LabVIEW 2010 Platform Known Issues contains a full listing of known issues, including LabVIEW toolkits and modules.
National Instruments is committed to maintaining compatibility with Microsoft Windows technology changes. However, NI has become aware of a number of issues of potential significance regarding Microsoft Windows 7. To learn how Windows 7 affects your use of NI products, visit ni.com/info and enter the Info Code windows7.
Documents Organization
The Known Issues Document is divided into two separate tables appearing in two separate Developer Zone documents. The following document displays the issues by issue category.
The known issues in this document are organized by the category of issue. Please refer to Developer Zone Article "LabVIEW Known Issues Categories Defined" for an explanation of the categories and what types of issues are in each category.
For those who wish to locate the newly reported issues, we have also published another version of the known issues table sorted only by date the issue was added to the document.

Known Issues by Category
The following items are known issues in sorted by Category.
| ID | Known Issue | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Controls and Indicators | ||||||
| 160961 Return |
Can't cancel the configure jump button dialog when you first place a jump button When initially placing a jump button, the dialog cannot be cancelled. Workaround: N/A
|
|||||
| 166677 Return |
Clusters appear different in 8.2.1 Clusters look different in 8.2.1 than they do in 8.6.1. Workaround: N/A
|
|||||
| 184316 Return |
Controls and indicators behind Tab control show through the tab control on CE touch panels If you have controls or indicators behind a tab control on a front panel of a touch panel VI the indicators and controls show through the tab control when running. Workaround: Place controls that you want to be behind the tab control on a different tab.
|
|||||
| 186764 Return |
Digital Display does not show up on CE touch panel Digital displays do not show up for numeric slides, thermometer, tank, gauge, meter, knob, and progress bars. On the dial and meter controls the ramp will also not be displayed. Workaround: Add a Numeric Indicator and connect it to show the digital value.
|
|||||
| Miscellaneous | ||||||
| 222189 Return |
Histogram not supported on Touch Panels. Documentation doesn't state this. Histograms are not mentioned in the limitations of graphs in the touch panel documentation Workaround: N/A
|
|||||
| Operating System Specific | ||||||
| 226990 Return |
pput.exe has stopped working error on Vista when attempting to debug CE application When running the Debug application using TCP/IP interface test and attempting to debug the application by right clicking on the build specification and selecting debug, an error occurs stating pput.exe has stopped working. Workaround: N/A
|
|||||
| Performance | ||||||
| 179808 Return |
Touch Panel applications on Windows CE do not execute shared resources in round robin fashion When calling a shared resource from more than one loop, that resource is not executed in a round robin fashion. This could lead to unexpected behavior while the loops wait for the resource. Workaround: Use reentrant subVIs when waiting on Queues, TCP/IP reads, etc. If these VIs are non reentrant, they will become a blocking shared resource. Have waits in a loop that are longer than the execution time of the code in that loop even if it shouldn't be necessary as in the case of Queues.
|
|||||
| Shared Variables | ||||||
| 177101 Return |
Variables from unsaved libraries in Touch Panel Applications on Windows CE will cause a build error Adding variables from unsaved libraries to a Touch Panel application on Windows CE will cause a build error when building. Workaround: Save the library before building the application
