Issue Details

Is it possible to bold only parts of the text in a string control or indicator in LabVIEW?

Solution

You can bold specific text in a string control or indicator using the Bold Particular String.vi. You can find this VI here:

[LabVIEW 20xx]\vi.lib\Utility\error.llb\Bold Particular String.vi

You can wire a string control reference to the VI and specify the text you want to display in the string. Any text between <b></b> tags will be bolded, as shown below:

Additional Information

The Bold Particular String.vi is not present in Quick Drop/palettes by default. To have access to the VI with Quick Drop, add it to your project by right-clicking the My Computer target and selecting Add>>File...
