PDFEach Issue appears as a row in the table and includes these fields:
Issue ID—Contains the number in at the top of each of the cells in the first column. When you report an issue to NI, you may be given this ID, you can also find IDs posted by NI on the discussion forums or in Knowledge Base articles.
Legacy ID (optional)—Contains the legacy CAR ID, if an issue has a legacy ID from NI's legacy/deprecated bug reporting database. This ID appears on a separate line directly below the Issue ID in the table, or to the right of the Issue ID in the table of contents (separated by a space).
Issue Title (in italics)—Describes the issue in one sentence or less.
Problem Description—Describes the problem in further detail. The brief description given does not necessarily describe the problem in full detail, and it is expected that you might want more information on an issue. If you would like more information on an issue feel free to contact NI (contact information below) and reference the ID number given in the document.
Workaround—Provides possible ways to work around the problem. The workarounds that appear in the document are not always tested by NI and are not guaranteed to resolve the issue. If a workaround refers you to the NI KnowledgeBase, please visit www.ni.com/kb/ and enter that KB number in the search field to locate the specific document.
Reported Version—Contains the earliest version of the Touch Panel Module the issue was reported in. If you discover the issue appears in an earlier version of the Touch Panel Module than is reported in this field, you can report that to NI (contact information below) to have the field updated.
Resolved Version—Contains the version the issue was resolved or was no longer applicable. If an issue has not been resolved "N/A" will be reported.
Date Added—Contains the date the issue was added to the document (not the reported date).
Document Organization
The Known Issues Document is divided into two separate tables. The following section displays the issues by issue category.
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 have published a section of the known issues table sorted by the date the issue was added to the document.
Contacting NI
Feel free to contact NI regarding this document or issues in the document. If you are contacting NI in regards to a specific issue, be sure to reference the ID number given in the document to the NI representative. The ID number contains the current issue ID number as well as the legacy ID number (use the current ID number when contacting National Instruments). You can contact us through any of the normal support channels including phone, email, or the discussion forums. Visit the NI Website to contact us. Also consider contacting us if you find a workaround for an issue that is not listed in the document so that we can add the workaround to the document.

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.

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.

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 | ||||||

In an app running on a PDA device, front panel indicators bound to a shared variable don't update Front panel indicators bound to shared variables don't update when the VI is running on a touch panel or a pocket PC 2003 device. Workaround: Use variable nodes instead of front panel binding.
